Brutal Puzzle

If you have a PSP and love old-timey difficult point-and-click adventures, then you should play Crimson Room.

Actually, the game is called Crimson Room: Reverse and it’s a compilation of a few puzzle/adventure games made in Flash. The basic premiss is that you are trapped in a room which you don’t know how you got there. You will need to explore the room to find and use items to escape from it. The game has a horror theme to it, which is used to setup a lightweight story to give you a reason why you are in these situations, but are not really scary at all.

The real fun is the actual gameplay itself. Well, it’s fun if you’re into those kinds of games. As I noted, Crimson Room reminds me of the old school point-and-click adventures -- which I loved playing as a kid. Very little instructions are given and there is absolutely no handholding! This game leaves it to you to figure things out yourself. Sure, it has a hint option, but the hints are very vague and only allows you one tip every 24 hours. Some of the puzzles for me were brutally difficult to figure out, but once you do get it, man, what a rewarding feeling you get afterwards.

The game is available on PSN and is pretty inexpensive (I think it was $9.99). You get 8 puzzle rooms total. Each of the first four are unique to each other and the other four are modified versions of the first set. You unlock the last four by completing the rooms from the first set. Oh yeah, the music was pretty dope too.

P.S. - By the way, don't let the image trick you. The US version is in english. Poorly written, but english none-the-less.
