How is this on a phone and should I read the companion before I play the game or while I play the game as a reference piece?

It could absolutely work with a M&KB, but I think there was (for me at least) something unique about turning a key, or lifting a lid with your finger that subtly added a lot to the immersion. But I agree, it wouldn't necessarily hurt it (or Year Walk) with PC controls, it might just loose a little something special.

Glad to hear the good news since I just switched to Android, and never felt like playing the game on my old iPhone what with the tiny screen and all that

@sissylion: Yeah. I've sort of wished that The Room would have come to PC just to get more exposure, but it benefits so much from the touch interface. This game seems similar.

Oh well, I'm lucky enough to have an iPad, so I'll shut up now and go finally buy Year Walk on it.

I don't know if The Room benefits that much from touch controls. Everything you do in that game can be very easily done with a mouse and with more accuracy (not that it was really needed) and, for me, much more comfort.

Oh shut up Patrick I was going to play this game anyway. I was actually just hoping/waiting for a PC version.

Now they just need to release The Room.

Great, was hoping for an PC or Android (or Vita!) release, since I have no interest in getting an iOS device.

I am SO stoked for this!

I feel like the lack of touch controls are going to hinder this experience pretty severely, but also do not care because I would very much like to play this game.

I thought the same thing about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on PS2, but the experience was still completely worth it.

Isn't there a bunch of multitouch-centric puzzle design in Year Walk?

Using the companion app on my phone while playing the game on PC could be an interesting way to replay the game.

@atwa: Sounds like they're rebuilding a lot of it, at a technological level and at a design level. Plus, DEVICE 6 and all.

Finally! This and The Room were the only reasons I would consider getting an iPad, now I have one less.

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