It wasn’t until The Room Three arrived in 2015, however, that the series really came of age as a more fully-rounded adventure game, with ongoing innovation in gameplay as well as increased exploration, deepening plot, and even some character development. When The Room Two came along in 2013, the puzzles were better than ever, and a few additional adventure elements crept in, with an expanded environment and the continuation of the mystery teased in the first game. Strong on tightly-integrated puzzle design and mechanics in a single location, it is equally light on plot, with just a hint of a story revealed via notes as you progress. Since its release in 2012, The Room has widely been regarded as one of the best pure puzzlers to come along in years.
