Pandora`s room Reviews

wants to come off as an interesting situation/ puzzle game feels more like a steaming pile of shit

Not even 5 minutes in the game and I already cannot play it. If you have dualscreen, forget playing this game. Windowed or full screen, it doesn't matter, I always found myself clicking out of the screen and ending up with my background in my face. And when you are stuck in a cube and are pretty much SUPPOSED to look around 360 degree, well let's just say you're gonna have a bad time... And yes, I let this game open for 5 minutes just because I wanted the world to see this.

This game is great. Although I do find it slightly on the short side, as I finished 1 route in like roughly 15 mins. Reminded me of gateway 2, a puzzle game with close to no assistance with slightly creepy vibe. But, I am sure the game will be longer and better by the end of early access. Do give it a try!

Gameplay-Video (German commentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjhbqL6BhhI Started the Game. Pushed wrong button. Died. Restarted. Pushed another button. Randomly solved(?) some puzzles without any legitimate logics. 15 Minutes passed since first start. Ended up in a cuberoom with pure emptyness and some piano music. The End? I don't know. xD And as already mentioned in other reviews, yes the issue that the cursor moves past the main screen to second screen exists and is annoying. I actually looked for any short game and i found this. I got it 25% off, for 6,74€ (NOT WORTH IT!!! xD) Seriously - do not buy this game... The creator even copied levers and buttons from minecraft!

The game is still buggy, unfinished and lacks a lot of what you’d expect from these kinds of games. The two biggest problems are the inconsistent saving and the lack of direction the game gives. While the game has several “endings” (dead ends) it never tells you that you’re in a dead end. The button puzzle at the end of chapter 3 I think is the worst culprit: not telling you that the buttons have two positions and giving no frame of reference for the third pattern you need to enter. It’s issues like this and the several year lack of care by the developer that make it that I can't recommend this game in the state it’s in. It’s just lacking in so many areas that it’s hard to have fun with it. There are some genuinely good puzzles in the mix, although some are certainly disappointing. Developer, if you read these, this game does have potential, and I would like to change my review if you finish your game and solve some basic issues, but it is not good in the state it's in. The music isn’t bad in most places. Some songs are actually good, some don’t loop well and others just lack quality. Overall, it’s not worth your time or money, especially not at its regular price. That said, if you decide to buy it anyway, I've made a guide to follow if you get stuck: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2736351940

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] This developer made several lateral-thinking puzzle games that I enjoyed [i](most notably [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2013650/Logicality/?curator_clanid=39661507]Logicality[/url], a lateral-thinking game based on The Witness)[/i], so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately it's a complete letdown. The game starts out by asking you to press one of three buttons. If you press the wrong one, the ceiling comes down and kills you. There are no hints indicating which button to press, and despite the long wait period, there is no way to stop the ceiling from crushing you. This could be forgiven if they were trying to make some sort of statement a la "The Stanley Parable", but unfortunately it seems like it's just poorly designed. If you press the correct one, you're greeted with a jumping puzzle. Followed by a puzzle no one knows the correct way to solve, but it solves itself anyways if you just spam buttons. Followed by a puzzle where there's a bunch of identical buttons and you just need to keep pressing them all until you find the right one. The game continues like this. At one point there was a "puzzle" where you need to input the correct colors on a grid, with seemingly no hints around except for the text "You are a god". After struggling with it for several minutes, I gave up and looked up the answer. Here is the solution from the guide: [quote]You will get one of two things written on the wall, either “brbrrrbrb” [(the solution)] or “you are a god”. [..] If you get the second prompt, the answer is the same, the game designer is just a jerk and you have no clues to go off of.[/quote] ...Yeah. You can definitely skip this one.
