Room231

About

Room231 is a horror adventure game set in a dimly lit, ever-shifting space that feels both familiar and wrong. You explore a sterile, windowless room that subtly distorts around you, solving environmental puzzles to uncover its secrets. The tension builds through subtle audio cues and eerie visual details, pushing you to piece together why you’re trapped and how to escape. Gameplay leans into methodical exploration, with each discovery hinting at a larger mystery beneath the surface. The game’s strength lies in its oppressive atmosphere and psychological unease. While it lacks the community-driven mythos of some Backrooms-inspired projects, its tight design and unsettling quiet moments create a persistent sense of dread. Players who enjoy methodical puzzle-solving in a constantly shifting environment may find its 3-4 hour runtime rewarding, though the sparse narrative might leave some wanting more. Released in early 2024, it’s a brief but tense experience that leans heavily into its setting’s uncanny vibe.
