Player Comments:

I have played through two of the series on my Nintendo switch and the latest two on mymobile devices. And these games do not miss a single time for me. I love these kinds ofpuzzle games and very few to none match The Room series at all.l love how much loveand work has gone into these games and it shows in the higher quality of animation andthe cutscenes.I cannot wait to play more from this series.

For the love of all that is wonderful, I beg for more of these games. You guysare really onto something here. I've completed every "Room" and have nocritiques or negative things to say. These are just the perfect little bite sizedpuzzles with an ever expanding plot and amazing graphic cutscenes. Shouldyou ever decide to go bigger and need backers, count me in.

I really have enjoyed all four of the room escape games. They are both challenging andenjoyable. A few things I wish were better in future releases is that objects collected areeasier to drag and drop. Also I wish the game was not so dark. I turn up my phonebrightness as much as possible and it is still very difficult to see objects even when Idon't have a lot of background glare or lighting.

This series is so well done. It seems that maybe this is the last game in theseries, but I hope they do more. Puzzles are the perfect difficulty and thestory is captivating.Moving things out of the inventory was hard on aniPhone 16. Icons are very small and are placed right behind the DynamicIsland. Other than that, great game play.

Walkthrough:

Study

Opening the mysterious artifact found in the Foyer rewards the player with a swan figurine. Placing this on a statue pedestal opens a compartment with a miniature lamp. When this lamp is attached in its rightful place, it lights up the rest of the Dollhouse, which allows the player to explore more and unlock the next puzzle room - the Study.

In the Study is the next volume in the Lockwoods’ story: A Manual for the Steam Engine. It gives Edward’s side of the story, describing how he felt when The Circle first arrived at their home. He says that he is happy to finally be able to provide for Abigail, but is worried about her becoming entangled with The Circle.

Implements to solve in the Study include a roll-top desk and a series of steam-powered machines, though these are inoperable at first. The Study is also the first level to introduce the superzoom mechanic, with the player using the eyepiece to enter small apertures and interact with puzzles on a miniature scale. Solving puzzles at the desk eventually reveals a model well, which can be placed in the yard of the Dollhouse to reveal the next room: the Kitchen. 

In the Kitchen, the player finds a book titled Mrs. Fawcett’s Every Day Recipes. Within the pages, Abigail recounts overhearing a conversation where Edward was threatened by The Circle, and later becoming lost trying to find the Study to speak to him. The Null is starting to warp the dimensions of their home and ensnare Edward.

The puzzles of the Kitchen center around a stove, service bells, a floor grate, water pipes, and a dumbwaiter containing a large iron pot. Moving back and forth between the Study and the Kitchen, the player is led to a model water pump, which, when placed, begins to supply water to the Kitchen.

Solving the model train puzzle in the Study causes the roll-top of the desk to open, revealing the next book, the 12th edition of the Applied Mechanics Handbook. Inside, Edward expresses his newfound obsession with the Null, and his irritation with Abigail, who has been fervently warning him of danger from outside the Study. 

In a box on the desk is a model chimney, which, when placed on the house, reveals the next room: the Curiosity Room. The curiosity room contains a large globe, a human anatomical model with a listening tube, a glass case containing valuable jewels, a seemingly empty pedestal, and two masks mounted above the fireplace. 

There is also the next book in the Lockwoods’ series: Compendium of Curiosities. Abigail imparts that the Null’s effects on her husband and her home have worsened, and that she has resorted to spying on him in his study through a crack in the Attic floorboards. She is copying his research so that she might convince the Royal Institute to intervene. 

Another series of puzzles, involving the globe, the masks, and the jewel case, will lead to the player diverting water from the Kitchen to the Study, where it is converted to steam power. The player can then solve the numerous machines in the Study, leading to the recovery of the room’s artifact. Picking up the artifact leads to the Study’s takeover by the Null. Its sigil on the Dollhouse seal is overgrown, and the level is officially completed.

Curiosity Room

Opening the Study artifact reveals a moon emblem which fits into the pedestal in the Curiosity Room. After affixing it, a vase can be seen on the pedestal using the eyepiece. It also gives the player an eye which fits into the anatomical model. Attaching the eye and then entering it using the superzoom lens causes a cutscene to play. From the perspective of the model, the player witnesses an argument between Edward and Abigail in the Curiosity Room. They shout indistinctly at one another before Abigail, agitated, leaves the room. In his fury, Edward throws a book across the room, breaking the vase on the pedestal, then sits down in an armchair, defeated. Returning to the room, the player can now find the vase on the pedestal broken, leaving behind a model weather vane.

Placing the weather vane on the Dollhouse and solving a brief puzzle opens the Maritime Room. Here, the player finds a radio next to a speaking tube, a safe, a harpoon gun, a model submarine, and a dumbwaiter connected to the Kitchen. Some exploration of the room will yield a miniature propeller, which opens the model submarine for the player’s investigation. 

Two new books can be found. On the table with the radio is a new book, the Small Submarine Handling Manual. Inside the submarine is a book called Ocean Navigation: A Concise Guide. In the first book read, Edward regretfully tells of how The Circle came to inform him of Abigail’s interference in their research. The second book describes the argument between Abigail and Edward in the curiosity room. Abigail finds that Edward has learned of her “betrayal”, and concludes that he is lost to her. She decides that there is only one course of action to take now.

The player can use the dumbwaiter in the Maritime Room to haul up the iron pot from the Kitchen and unlock it. Doing so will reveal a mechanical heart inside, which fits into the model in the Curiosity Room. Once this is obtained and the radio in the Maritime Room is activated, the model can be used to translate garbled messages from the radio and reveal coordinates for a puzzle in the submarine. Completing this rewards the player with a pendant, which causes the chandelier in the ruined Foyer and the globe in the Curiosity Room to trade places, creating a new puzzle to solve in the Curiosity Room. When this is solved, the Curiosity Room artifact is offered, and the level concludes with the Null takeover of the room.

Kitchen

The Curiosity Room artifact yields a miniature engraved roof, which is used on the Dollhouse to unlock the Garden. Immediately visible are a large fountain, a number of inactive wall-mounted mechanisms, a carved stone face, and an empty pool. 

The next book, found on a bench, is called The Ladies Companion for the Formal Garden. Inside, Edward expresses distress upon discovering that Abigail has stolen his Null sample and is attempting to escape with it.

Next to the book on the bench is a section of pipe, used in the Kitchen to connect water to the garden fountain. Once this is done, a few more puzzles to be solved in the Garden will give the player a piece of ironwork which fits on the Dollhouse exterior. Once attached, one more puzzle will become available in the kitchen, leading to the recovery of its artifact and completion of the level.

Final Verdict:

The Room: Old Sins invites players into a world of immersive exploration and intricate puzzles, centered around the mysterious disappearance of an engineer and his wife. As you delve into their attic, you encounter a unique dollhouse that serves as a gateway to stunning environments filled with obscure clues and mechanical wonders. The game features intuitive touch controls, captivating audio, and a user-friendly design that enhances the tactile experience. With support for multiple languages and cloud save functionality, players can seamlessly continue their adventure across devices while uncovering the secrets of Waldegrave Manor.
