Leave a Review Samsara Room
Challenging and Spooky
Update: I completed the game and I have to say I am NOT disappointed. Samsara Room is an amazing game that gets harder as you progress and had me stumped throughout most of it. One of my favorite things about this game is how the graphics are eery yet simple in a way that grabs your attention. The style kind of reminds me of salad fingers, if you know what that is. Secondly, I love how you have to really think hard to solve the puzzles, but don’t be ashamed of using a hint or two. And for those who don’t like having a game solved for them, the hints are kinda discreet and still require some level of thinking around them. Overall it was a great experience, highly recommend!
Original: I haven’t completed the game yet (not sure if it has an end even) but so far, it’s been pretty challenging and lots of fun to solve the mysteries throughout the various scenes. The graphics are also quite eery, which I enjoy.Show lessA lot less creepy than Cube Collection, enjoyable
There are only a few puzzles, and the bulk of the game is finding hidden objects and determining how to apply them. I liked the changing atmospheres of the different levels and the lower degree of creepy imagery (though could have done without a couple images) that I didn’t enjoy in The Cube Escape Collection. I found myself not wanting to stop playing until I got to the end. I thought I ran into a glitch when I solved some challenges out of order and ended up in the next level without obtaining items from previous levels. I couldn’t see a way to return to find those missing items so I reset and started over. Eventually I realized I could reset the clock to move between levels. I wish there was a more obvious back button or that the game’s clues were more helpful. More often than not, clues were confusing or showed me what I had already accomplished, so I had to resort to watching walkthroughs for hints. The graphics and animation are pretty basic, but I was still engrossed and even charmed by the animals (especially the lizard), the soothing music, and the peaceful ending.Show lessBrain teaser, makes you think outside the box (literally and metaphorically)
So I want to start off with saying I’m still trying to solve the entire puzzle. I have to close it a lot and come back to it later so I can give my brain a rest. It is very “liminal space” type vibes and I become very immersed in the game, I lose track of time and truly become the figure in the mirror.
With that said, this is an amazing game. There was so much creativity, passion, and thought put into this game. I truly enjoy it and if you like a good game that makes your brain tick, I highly suggest it. I have seen negative reviews on this game that literally just say “doesn’t make sense” and “don’t get it, it’s terrible”. Bestie that doesn’t make it a bad game, it just means it is not meant for you and that’s fine, go play something else and let the people who it IS for leave the reviews.Show less
