  • The game offers a nostalgic experience for fans of the original Crimson Room, with familiar environments and callbacks to the classic.
  • The atmosphere and graphics are well-designed, creating an engaging and immersive experience.
  • Some puzzles are challenging and thought-provoking, providing a rewarding experience for players who enjoy escape room games.
  • The game deviates significantly from the original, lacking the same level of suspense, horror, and intuitive puzzle design, leading to disappointment for long-time fans.
  • Many puzzles feel arbitrary and illogical, requiring players to think outside the box in frustrating ways that detract from the overall experience.
  • The game is criticized for being too short and not worth its price point, with some players suggesting it should be offered at a lower cost.
  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and interesting, while others criticize it as convoluted and lacking the mystery of the original game. While there are callbacks to the first installment, many feel that the narrative is not well-integrated with the gameplay, leading to a disconnect that diminishes player investment in the characters and plot. Overall, the story is seen as a weak point, with some players appreciating its simplicity and others finding it odd or underdeveloped.

    • “Storywise it was fairly engaging!”
    • “I lost some of the mystery of the first one (where you have no explanation, no background, just a goal of escape), but the story was interesting enough that I picked up each page happily.”
    • “You'll probably play it again only if you want to relive the experience (that's why I finished the entwined story mode on PS3 multiple times, for example).”
    • “The game's weakest point is its story.”
    • “The story is inherently convoluted, and the method by which the player figures it out does not help.”
    • “All of this makes it hard for the player to care, particularly after solving seemingly random challenging puzzles, about the story or the characters.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its engaging quality and connection to the original score. However, there are notable criticisms regarding the ending theme, which some felt was a jarring departure from the rest of the soundtrack. Additionally, while the music is described as decent, some players found certain tracks to evoke an unsettling or "scary" atmosphere.

    • “Otherwise, great music you can get into.”
    • “You will find the music in this game kind of different as well.”
    • “I love the music used throughout the game, except for the ending theme, which I felt took a sudden turn in the type of song and notes.”
    • “Music is decent, but sometimes it shifts to a scary mode, which makes me feel kind of weird.”
    • “You will find the music in this game to be quite different as well.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of "Crimson Room: Decade" receive mixed reviews, with some users praising the nostalgic atmosphere and design, while others criticize the stiff controls and poorly made graphical elements that hinder gameplay. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the overall aesthetic and find it suitable for lower-end hardware. Overall, the graphics evoke a sense of nostalgia but could benefit from further refinement.

    • “Even without the thick line graphics, Decade has the same strange atmosphere and design that made Crimson Room so popular, and it was definitely worth the price for this nostalgic flash lover.”
    • “Graphic is super nice even though it doesn't require much graphic.”
    • “I could play it on my laptop (GTX 630m is my laptop graphic card).”
    • “With stiff controls, graphics interfering with movement, and some graphics cheaply made, Crimson Room: Decade should have added a few more years to prepare itself to come back.”
    • “As mentioned in graphics, sometimes the items force you to move to the side or back.”
    • “As stated before in graphics, some items are hard to find.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers about an hour of content, which some players find frustrating, especially compared to the original Crimson Room series. However, the introduction of new mechanics and a strong nostalgia factor provide a refreshing experience for returning fans, making it enjoyable despite its brevity. Overall, while the gameplay may not appeal to everyone, it successfully blends familiar elements with innovative features.

    • “However, the new mechanics really made the experience refreshing for me and made me really like the few hours I had with it.”
    • “The nostalgia factor is high, and they play that card in the best possible way--rewarding you for remembering certain item locations and holding on to just enough of the original images to validate the returning player, while still adding new mechanics, perspectives, and atmosphere to make a completely new game.”
    • “I hate to say the gameplay is a bit infuriating.”
    • “I was a huge fan of the original Crimson Room game and its family of games, but for $10 USD I can't recommend it from the hour and a bit of gameplay I got out of it.”
    • “There's about an hour of gameplay here.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the atmosphere is described as both frightening and rewarding, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
