Analysis: The Room Two
The Room might originally have been an iOS title, but a lot of effort clearly went into enhancing it for its PC debut. The wait was worth it though as the PC version retained all the best elements of the original game while also polishing everything to a fine sheen. The developers used the same approach for The Room Two, which follows directly after the events of part one. Your character is still following the cryptic letters of the scientist who got him embroiled in the mystery, but this time it is a quest that takes you beyond the creepy mansion.

Ambient noises, such as the creaking of the ship and waves lapping against the hull on level helps to make each of the detailed areas even more interesting.
As with the first game the biggest problem with The Room Two is that it is such an engrossing experience that you’ll easily find yourself completing it in one sitting. The average playtime appears to be about two to three hours, but the game makes up for this with its reasonable price tag. Players who enjoyed the first game will love this sequel, although the room sized locations does change the puzzle dynamics a bit. Overall we enjoyed every minute of The Room Two and can only hope that it doesn’t take as long for part three, which is already out on iOS, to appear on
