Awareness Rooms reviews

Translated by

Very nice game with a unique and fun gimmick. We start in a room where all the objects are indistinct and we advance to try to find out what they are. Once this is done, a little puzzle to solve and we go to the next room. It is a very simple mechanical CERTE, but the game does not need more and the idea is enough original to make this simplicity enjoyable. Moreover, the game does not last long enough so that one can start to get tired of the gimmick of "perception" and each Enigma to solve once this perception high enough is both sufficiently complex to allow us to take the time to think about it and also simple enough to not be frustrating and make us round in circles in the rooms hang for hours. The game lasts only an hour or two, which is ample enough, longer would have been boring. The only downside, a little sloppy end, but given the number of scriptical element of the game, it is not surprising, it is more of a experience of gameplay a little unique to appreciate the time of a small session. The lack of music will also be able to put off some, but I find that the somewhat dreamlike atmosphere of the title is partly due to this lack and I find it quite pleasant, as surprising as it may seem. In short, a little game that is very sympathetic and inexpensive to spend some time on an original experience, exactly what I needed and I hope you enjoy as much as I.

Awareness Rooms is a Game with an interesting Concept, but this could be even better. The Game concept that you have to examine the Rooms carefully and act with the Object in your Environment, so that the Space changes from something Abstract to something Recognizable is already quite unique. Unfortunately, with this Concept, there is simply a little too much Repetition urgent without offering a very large Change. On top of that, the Game is unfortunately a bit very short. And in the last Section, some Puzzles, at least for me, certainly no longer made any real Sense (I at least had to guess a lot and try it out when it would all have opened up to me out of Logic). What's also very annoying is that the Game doesn't store progress properly. So If you already have a Room half through And then stop and start again, you start all over again in the Room. This is very annoying, especially in the longest Room, which must therefore inevitably be played through in a Session. For this, the Graphics and the Atmosphere-which is not directly sinister, but already oppressive-succeeded very well, even if I personally lacked a bit of background music. For my Taste, even some Backstory would have done the Game quite good. The Controls are not quite as bad now as some others have written, but could have been solved quite nicer. From me, it's not a clear Buy recommendation (at least not at Full Price), but it's quite an interesting Experience.
