”I've been here before..." Jean-Jacques Gordot woke up to find himself trapped in a red room. A door that won't open, a hanging light bulb, scattered wine bottles. And for some reason, this room gives him a feeling of deja vu... From the Steam store page

40 of 40 · most liked firstAs with the original Crimson Room from 12 years ago, this one kept me stumped for a little too long. No, seriously, guys. I had a session with over 160 minutes where I did absolutely nothing, and the previous day I wandered around aimlessly for 2 hours. And all because I didn't notice a bump. Crimson Room: Decade is a remake of the original Crimson Room game by TAKAGISM. Other than the name, the room and a couple of items and references, everything else is new. Instead of point'n'click, now…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a great fan of the original Crimson Room game way back in the day (2006?). It paved the way for my love of escape games. Imagine my excitement when I saw that Takagism was back with a Crimson Room.... sequel/remake/tribute/something. It's just... not very good by today's standards. It is still a bit pixel hunt-y. There are interactions that don't immediately make sense. In fact if you do play this, you must go into it assuming that this is not reality. A certain puzzle element occurs…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not terrible -- but it has enough flaws that unfortunately do not allow me to recommend it in good conscience. Crimson Room: Decade is an escape the room puzzle game with an unsettling mood. The puzzles themselves are the primary source of trouble. There are two primary ways to approach puzzle design in video games. You either create puzzles that organically come to from the games story and purpose, or, you create puzzles that might not be directly related to the game's thematic…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With games like these, sometimes I wish there was a "Mid-way" other than "Recommended" and "Not Recommended". Let me tell you why. Personally, I think that this game is gonna be mostly enjoyed by old-time fans of the original series (like me). The game is the Escape from the Room type, but this time with a first-person perspective instead of simple point and click. The idea works rather well and the creepy atmosphere without cheap jumpscares really makes it worth. The puzzles can be quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a blast from the past, but it's also definitely not the same flash game I used to be stumped by. The puzzles are more layered and clever, and it keeps throwing out interesting twists that change the entire playing field. Even without the thick line graphics, Decade has the same strange atmosphere and design that made Crimson Room so popular, and it wwas definitely worth the price for this nostalgic flash lover. For everyone else, maybe wait for a sale, but if you played the original,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been a massive fan of the Crimson Room games for years; I played all four original games back in 2004, bought and played the DS and PSP ports, and bought the iPhone version too. I've been waiting for this game to come out for ages, and it definitely didn't disappoint! Whether you played the originals, love room escape games or just want a good puzzle game, this is the game for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a huge fan of the original Crimson room game and its family of games, but for $10USD I can't reccomend it from the hour and a bit of gameplay I got out of it. Sorry Guys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love escape games (I work at a live escape room venue) and I loved the Crimson Room original, so when I saw they had made a new, beefed up adaptation I had to have 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. The puzzles…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →** I received this product for free to provide an honest review ** I love escape the room styled games. This one was done very nicely, but the story was a bit... odd. It, combined with the ending, left me scratching my head and wondering what the point was exactly. I would recommend playing this game if you are a fan of this style of game, but I can not recommend it at it's current price point, therefore I am giving it a thumbs down. I could see maybe $5 at the most. Maybe wait and catch it in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a huge fan of the original. I played it every year. I memorized the whole thing by heart, that's how good it was. I played viridian room and then the blue chamber or whatever it's called after. So when I saw this, I was excited. This. Was terrible. I personally think it's almost impossible to do this without a guide handy. A lot of things just don't make sense, and the game goes too far into the supernatural, something the original and it's sequel didn't. The only thing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my first time playing a puzzle like mystery game. I must play "crimson room decade" is something unique. The story is quite simple: You are stuck in a room and try to figure out the way to get out of the room by using stuff inside the room. I/ Game play 8/10 Game play is simple enough for first time players and definitely better than flash version ( given that the flash version is like 10 years ago). Not much I can say about the game play . II/ Music 7/10 Music is decent and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, but considering how short it is I cannot recommend it for even half its price, even less so considering the moon logic needed to solve some puzzles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crimson Room: Decade is the return of the popular flash escape room game: Crimson Room. Returning to the place after 10 years, there are still some secrets unsolved. While plenty of love was given to the flash game, it seems like the same doesn't apply for the recent version. Graphics: I love the atmosphere of the game and the details of the items. There are a few problems I have with it, however. One thing is because of the ways items are placed or scattered, it can affect movement. For…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to buy this game after playing the demo. It was quite hard, but everyone can solve its mysteries. Pros: -Nice feeling -Great Story Cons: -Too short -10€ is way too much I had a lot of fun playing it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huge fan of the original. Waayy back in the day I was obsessed with flash games and came across this and the Verdian Room. Played them over and over. Loved them to death. Was waiting and waiting for that Tangerine Room or what ever it was called and was sad it never came. Randomly came across this looking at games on Steam and instantly knew I had to buy it. So far I'm already stuck but I will proceed! The original Crimson Room is timeless. So timeless in fact it is legendary status in my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a huge fan of the original Crimson Room series of games in 2004-2005 and was eager to check this one out. It's not a bad game, but it's also not the best one in the series, to me White Chamber and the original Crimson Room hold that position each for their own reasons. Decade's strongest point is the familiarity of the environment and all of the nods it makes to the original game. It is interesting how many of the objects and puzzles from the first game reappear here but are used in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, while not terrible, is in deep need of more work. It is currently in a state I would expect from an early access or freeware game. The mouse controls feel sluggish and the game uses some weird workarounds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this game. I mean, I had an idea I would, for sure, but when it was all said and done, I found it to be more enjoyable than I originally expected. It never outstayed its welcome, in any aspect, and that’s something to be commended. Now, let’s hope if there’s a trilogy in the works we don’t have to wait another decade to play it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A first look for crimson room decade. Not sure if you would call this an adventure it seems more like a puzzle game to me but the point of the game is you wake up inside a room and you interact with items inside a room to get out of it. Cheap and the story seemed interesting (at least for the first 20 minutes that i played). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mkVKEltgNA
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good escape room game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thumbs down. This game isn't intuitive. I stopped playing after clumsily solving a couple of the puzzles, but even after solving them i felt like the solution didn't make sense. for example, who would think to use a pocket knife gut hook to open a battery compartment? i could've understood using it to open a can, or if it would let me use the knife to open the battery compartnment, or better yet -give us the screwdriver part to use.... but a gut hook? No. just no.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: I never played the original. I rate this one as a lean to the recommend side. More so if your the type that is a big fan of "Escape from the Room " games. If so , then this is for you. There are only a couple of points of more than mild frustration where you may want to leave for an hour or a day and then return with a fresh look on things. Solving the puzzles is mildly rewarding. They are on the clever side but not analytical like chess games or solving a code. My biggest complaint is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really bad escape room game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot be sure if this game is worth $10, but if it is on sale, then it is a good buy. Have you played the original Crimson Room and its flash game sequels? While those are classic nostalgic games, this game is a different "feel", but I would also say that it is a lot better designed and a lot more etiquettely pleasing than the previous games. The ending is somewhat cool but you could ask yourself, what was the point of all that, when finished.... Most importantly, if you can get through this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played loads of escape room games and I basically think the pricepoint is incorrect. £3-4 would be a more reasonable offering (even then I would normally wait for a sale). For this price I would recommend getting Brothers Saloon or The Initiate instead - much vaster games with many more puzzles. Just because of the price point I have to give it a negative review, simply as it is not value for money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is nothing like the original game this is trash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wondered if this was going to be the same game as I played years ago but was very surprised to find it a completely new game in the same room. Great escape the room game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy escape the room games, but I cannot recommend this game, even on sale. What initially seems to be a logical escape the room game with an intriguing mystery that could easily be based in reality, quickly turns into solving puzzles using magic, not logic. Many of this game's puzzle solutions have only a loosely connected cause and effect, with the only common thread being "association." The calendar is especially bad about this, with most puzzles related to it coming off as far-fetched…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun for a few hours. Definitely one of the better escape room type games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very dissatisfied $10.00 for an hour or so of mediocre game play......free to play escape room on android are better with more lvls.........dont waste your money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brings back childhood memories, but missing the old art style. Suprisingly, Takagi included an interesting background story to the game, however has no actual use to the game function. Still, I love the continuation of the concept of freeing spirit from Takagi. The game itself is actually pretty easy except for one part that is absolutely unnecessarily hard (I think that bit was also in the old game however this game is made in unity which makes it even more difficult to find). I have to say…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good for a hit of nostalgia, but unfortunately Crimson Room is no longer a name that helps define the escape room genre if this is the best they offer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crimson Room: Decade, developed by Dream Holdings and TAKAGISM Inc. and published by KOMODO and Dream Holdings, is a modern continuation of one of the most influential escape-room experiences in gaming history. Building upon the legacy of the original Crimson Room, which helped popularize the escape-the-room genre during the early days of browser-based Flash games, this installment reimagines the concept in a fully realized 3D environment while preserving the core principles that defined its…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It worth it if it´s on sale. It´s a short game, done in about 1,5 hour... Never played the original, However I found it original and somehow funny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I knew this would be different from the original Crimson Room going into it, but I didn't think I'd be as disappointed as I was. I got this game on sale since I was wary, but it just was not the same at all. There were some call-backs to the original game, but the story, vibe, puzzles--everything--were just so different, and not in a good way. It's a great concept for this game to be remade in the form of a sequel of sorts, someone new visiting the Crimson Room, but it's just not a good game. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a fan of this game but the puzzels really make me think. Comforting game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Though a bit clunky in the face of many other modern games, this is a really fun puzzle experience and a great updated take on the classic flash game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good short room escape game based on earlier game ^^ Too bad it's too short and the price is kinda high
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ohh what a throwback to the original Escape series i played on Albino black sheep in elementary school! a good puzzle, albeit not feeling quite as intuitive as the original. the controls felt a little clunky and its frustrating to not be able to pick up something directly under you, insdtead having to step back a bit to collect it. 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…
