Aaah, I simply fell in love with this game. Room 817 is a TRUE survival horror, in its purest form. No hand holding, no checkpoints. You have to understand everything on your own. It's just you against the game. And if you die, you have to start over. Now, I'm not gonna lie, this game can be frustrating. Very frustrating. But it is also honest. If you are smart, if you are aware of your surroundings, and above all if you have good memory, your are given PLENTY of ways to survive. This game rewards experience, orientation, and, I'll say it again, good memory, just like the classic games of the 90's. At the beginning, when you are inexperienced, you may die a lot, but run after run you'll become faster and faster, better and better, until you'll manage to re-do in just a few minutes what previously took you hours. This is exactly what I love of this game, it is hard, but in the right way, because it respects the time of the player. Also, I loved the story, that is MUCH deeper than I expe...

it means to survive.

Really wished you could save your progress
I absolutely HATE YOU for making me start over from the beginning.
Good game that spooky and hard at first but with couple of retries you will undeestand what to do and how to survive. Would be nice if monster AI was smarter, after some time you can understand how to easily doge it. Last escape from a monster was kinda wacky, cause i didint know where to run, doors would close in front of your nose and i was just cornered by the monster. Would like if game has a more certain ending, cause just screen with "you win" is underwhelming. 7/10
I hated this game, loved this game and hated it again all in the span of 1.6 hours. Its just as good as it is bad and that hurts my brain.
I Just Upload My Full Playthrough And Review If You Would Like To Watch, And Support A Small Creator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsGgOncCBzw Room 817 is a short horror game, where you are constantly looking over your shoulder, and being aware of your surroundings, because if you are not, you die, and you will have to start ALL. OVER. AGAIN. Aside from the Erie atmosphere, solid sound design, and ruthless monster, the main aspect of horror in this game, is the punishment you will receive for dying. Map knowledge is key, knowing where to hide, and how far away that is is crucial to your survival. I must say, I did run into one major issue, I stumbled upoon the slide puzzle, and completed it (but was missing the final piece) I then died, and after going through the entire game, finding all the keys, and the final piece to the slide puzzle, the slide puzzle itself, was broken, and would not allow me to solve the puzzle, so I had to hard reset the entire game, and play the whole thin...
Joined after Alanzoka review, it was hilarious. Best wishes to Tim
Actually this is a great game and looks like my worst nightmares. Having a map could be a huge relief but after a few tries... well I made it lol
not sure about the ending but the game itself is f*kin scary. I hate and love it in the same time. We need a sequel
Okay. First - the game is really scary, even without screamers or something Second - it's God damn hard! And I loved it. Good, old horror game.
