Didn't Brad do a quick look of this? Where did that video go?

Im hoping this game is around 3 dollars, because to be honest, this game is incredibally short. The gameplay is pretty boring with basically walking around aimlessly till you stumble into a puzzle.

Is this worth playing on the iPhone or does it need the bigger screen of the iPad?

I think you'll really get more mileage out of the atmosphere and the eeriness through the iPad- bigger screen = bigger scares.

@krabboss: maybe he enjoyed the game and would like to experience it again on pc?

Is he bad with money? If he wants to experience it again he can. He doesn't have to buy it again to do that.

Cool beans.

Although, Jesus, that teaser could have been for anything.

Thank you! I've been hoping to play this game ever since the quick look but didn't have an iPhone and an Android/Windows port never came. So, thank you!

I had never really heard of this game besides the name. This trailer does not make me want to play it. How is anyone supposed to get anything from this trailer besides that it exists.

Pretty sure I've heard Patrick say good stuff about it though, but considering that I don't have any iOS devices it didn't matter.

This is awesome news! I've been pining after this game ever since the quick look. Now I just have to figure whether playing The Room on my Android phone is worth it over waiting for a potential PC release.

Not sure how the experience is going to play off of a touch device with a very specific architecture. We'll see. Fantastic experience though. Will buy again.

@harlequinriot: I played it on the iPhone and it was totally fine. An iPad would probably be bettter, but it's still a good experience on an iPhone.

Felt this was more than a bit overrated by the world at large, but it's still really good and if you didn't have a ios device before now absolutely pick it up.

That's good, because I don't see myself buying a iOS device in the near future.

I don't feel like this will translate well to PC. It's great on iOS, though (I played it on iPhone, sure it would be even better on iPad).

@abendlaender: i don't think so, which is weird cause im terrible at beating ANYTHING lately and even i beat it.

maybe it bored him in the end or it just slipped his mind, but he definitely needs to sit down for 2 or 3 hours (w/beadphones) and power through it.

wonderfully eerie experience, definitely worth getting. :)

This abuse of power by Patrick Klepek to force his taste in games upon us has been going on too long. First it starts off with an innocent "Worth Reading." Then slight suggestions like "Worth Playing." But then abusing his staff power by claiming Final Fantasy 8 is the best Final Fantasy, engaging in a public power struggle with Jeff over Yoshi's Island, and now trying to force us to play Year Walk.

Where does it end?!

Seriously though, after I bought, lost interest in, and was disappointed by Superbrother's Sword and Sworcery EP on the PC, I'm not sure if touch screen games transfer well over to the ol' Mouse and Key. It just ends up being tedious.

About time. I've been checking every month or so to see if it was ever coming to Android.

I found it to be a good art style with a fairly interesting story, but the gameplay was pretty much memorization of patterns with trial-and-error application to environmental gameplay - not very rewarding. I'd recommend Youtubing or heavy reliance on a walkthrough. Just my opinion, though.

@csl316: As someone who scares easily, I actually found it fairly tolerable. It's more about mood than outright jump scares and stuff like that. A couple of moments are creepy for sure, but overall I don't think you should let fear of playing it discourage you too much.

@billyhoush: It plays ok on the iPhone, but the experience does benefit significantly from the larger screen on the iPad. Initially the companion app is an encyclopedia for the stuff you encounter in the game. You'll do fine just looking up stuff you come across as you play through the game. Saying anything more about it would venture into spoiler territory.
