Is Red Room worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror-game players who want a clue-based escape challenge rather than a non-horror game
- Players who enjoy searching a repeated environment for a code instead of exploring varied locations
- Players seeking a keyboard-and-mouse-controlled game rather than a controller-focused experience
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking varied locations may find the repeated start-and-end room limiting.
- Players looking for a broad range of activities may find the clue-and-code loop narrow.
- Players seeking a long-form narrative may prefer a game with more story content.
Our take on Red Room
The same room serves as both the starting point and the ending location, while each passage through it reveals another clue toward the phone code.
What is Red Room?
Red Room is a horror game in which a player browsing the deep web at home finds a site called Redroom and is taken somewhere else.
The game starts and ends in the same room. Each time the player passes through it, a clue appears; there are eight clues in total. Together, they form an eight-digit number to enter on a phone to escape. Entering the wrong number resets the search to the first clue, and the process can be repeated indefinitely. Movement uses the keyboard and mouse: WASD moves, Space jumps, E or a mouse click opens doors and activates functions, Shift runs, and F is the flash key.
How Red Room plays
- 01Room-based clues
- Passing through the room reveals one clue at a time, with eight clues forming the escape code.
- 02Retryable code search
- A wrong phone entry resets progress to the first clue, and the search can be repeated indefinitely.
- 03Keyboard and mouse controls
- WASD moves, Space jumps, Shift runs, and E or a mouse click opens doors and activates functions; F is also assigned to flash.
