The Room Three

Dora[1/12/2016: The Room Three is now available for Android!]

It starts with a box of a very ordinary sort, at least as ordinary as a box that appears out of nowhere on your train ride can be, but what's inside is, oh, so much more than that. In The Room Three, a stunning puzzle adventure from Fireproof Games for newer iPads and iPhones and Android, it seems you've attracted the attention of someone calling themselves The Craftsman, and they'd like your help unraveling the secrets of what lies between the cracks of the world... if you can prove yourself, of course. What follows is an immersive and atmospheric trip down the rabbit hole, as, challenge after challenge, you are drawn deeper and deeper into curious places filled with curiouser mechanisms. You'll need to think hard in order to overcome the obstacles in your way, exploring each new area with the sweep of a finger to look for clues as to how to solve every new puzzle you come across. With multiple endings and hours of gameplay, The Room Three is just begging for you to pick up and play, but be warned that if you do, you might not be able to put it down until you're finished.

Playing The Room Three is a simple matter of dragging around the screen to turn around, double-tapping things to focus, and pinching to zoom in and out. Many of the things you'll encounter need movement to activate... swipe down on a switch to throw it, for example, or draw a circle on a key to turn it. Don't expect to be given any clear instructions whenever you come across one of the game's many puzzles! A large part of the game comes down to experimentation... figuring out how something works, how you can interact with it, and what might be required to make it work for you. In addition to using the items you gather, however, you also have your Eyepiece, which can allow you to see things unseen to the naked eye, as well as to literally get inside some objects and solve them from within. If you get stuck, provided you haven't disabled them, a series of progressively more direct hints will become accessible as question marks related to whatever you're currently dealing with... but don't assume they'll lead you by the hand.

It's all a surprisingly organic experience, with motions and actions that look and feel natural thanks to the game's touch-based movement. I've never played the original games (yet!), but I never once felt like a fish out of water as The Room Three drew me in. A large part of that is due to its stellar atmosphere, it's true, as Fireproof Games haven't slacked off on any aspect of the design. The soundtrack is at once both ominous and intriguing, and areas manage to be beautifully designed without cluttering things up with pointless decoration that might get in the way of your puzzle solving. Which, speaking of, is clearly the star of the show. The Room Three manages to make you feel like a real explorer, relying on your own wits as you go, and though there is a nice progressive difficulty curve, none of the puzzles feel like they're phoning it in. You may encounter a few that can be brute forced, but largely solving them comes down to fiddling with everything you can... hunting for secret mechanisms, twisting and poking, exactly as you would in real life. You will need to use more than one finger to activate some mechanics... using one hand to hold a spring-loaded latch open while the other presses a button, for example. It strikes a happy balance between simply pushing and pulling at your environment to find secrets, and needing to actively think your way through a puzzle each step of the way.

And make no mistake, you will need to use the ol' gray matter, because some of the clues you'll find are very subtle indeed. While the game is good about nudging you where you need to focus your attention in a larger space, it's still possible to start spinning in circles if you missed something, be it a closer look at an item in your inventory, or maybe just the right way to interact with an object you assumed was locked. If you make use of it, the hint system is just about perfect, so don't be afraid to turn to it if you're really stuck. Though some puzzles are definitely more interesting than others, the game feels like it's really at its finest when you're peeling back multiple layers of a single mechanism, unlocking it bit by bit. As for the game's story, well, it exists, and it's even intriguing in a suspicious sort of "we have such sights to show you" way (I'm on to you, "Craftsman", Clive Barker prepared me for this!), but it's hardly the driving force. This is, however, a big game, with the sort of gameplay that invites your coziest chair and warmest lighting to get lost in for hours on end, and with multiple endings, you're got reason to come back to it even after you finish it for the first time. The Room Three is prime example of why Fireproof Games are masters of their craft, and will keep you captivated the whole way through.

Walkthrough

Chapter I

Getting out of the cell

Open the hatch on the door to take a look outside. Put on the eyepiece and take a look at the sides of the stone plinth. You'll find a riddle on each side with a small rotating box below. Each box contains six items, one of which is the answer to the riddle. The correct answers are:

The poor have me the rich need me - Nothing
My face is silent without my hands - A watch
The power of flight The power of knowledge - A feather

Grab the ornate box and rotate the small, round lock to open it.
Put on the eyepiece, take a look at the door lock and double tap to go inside. Rotate the pins until each one brightens and the door will open.

Emblem Puzzle

Go to the stone table and put the engraved pyramid in the empty slot.
Grab the emblem and go to the framed ones on the wall. Place it in the white slot on the right. Each emblem should be the result of the two above it combined.
The end result should look like this: https://jayisgames.com/images/the-room-3/Emblems.jpg

Power Generator

In order to get the power generator working, you'll have to get electricity from the left side to the right. Using the sliders, connect the positive terminals with the negative ones. Not all have to be connected to get the generator running.
The end result should look like this - https://jayisgames.com/images/the-room-3/generator1.jpg

Oscilloscope

Pull the lever at the window. Flip the small switches on the wooden box and head to the desk. Turn the dials until both waves are the same width and height at the center of the screen.

Table Room

1. On the side of the table you'll notice a metal panel. Hold it open and swing the clasp behind it to open the drawer and take the wooden gear. Place it on the small tower in the middle of the table and rotate it.
2. Device on the Bookshelf

If you take a closer look at the device, you'll notice a small note saying "The name of the tower will reveal the way." The name of he tower is, indeed, a four-letter word. You can find it on the floor, next to the table or in the scroll at the window. The name is

PYRE.

To write the word, use the buttons on the left side of the device. The letter Y for example can be typed in by having the top and bottom arrow pointing at it.

3. Standing Stones Model

Before going into the standing stones model, make sure you have two magnets in your invenory.
Magnets

1. Take a look at the workshop model on the table and rotate the water wheel. You'll find the magnet inside.

2. On three of the standing stones you'll find two buttons. Press them simultaneously and you'll reveal the symbols that need to be drawn in the centre.
Magnets Puzzle

How it works: Both magnets go on the blue window inside the standing stones model. If you put on the eyepiece you'll see that they can be used to move the diamond shaped sliders.
At the other side of the box is a star chart with two sliders. Each one can be moved to one of 5 symbols. The two combinations can be found at the drawer and the pillar, on the right side of the star door.
1. Once you position the sliders on the star chart, focus on the looking glass. There should be 4 stars, one on each line. This is how the diamond shaped sliders need to be positioned, using the magnets.
2. Each magnet pushes the slider away, while having both magnets on the same slider will put it in the middle. The slider that needs to be in the middle should be the last one to modify (i.e if the top slider needs to be in the middle, start from the bottom one).

On the side of the box you'll find a drawer with a clock face inside.

4. Place the clock face on the empty spot on the tower, open it and go inside

What? WHAT? No! Yes!!! omg omg OMG OMG OMFG!!

Erm. Ahem.

I found the first two installments to be 1990's Myst-levels of spectacularly engrossing. I...may have been waiting for this on tenterhooks. And now, to wait some more for Android....

What I really need for this is the ability to rate a game ten mushrooms. This game is so, so long, and it never gets old.

I'm stuck trying to get one of the alternate endings, and I guess one of the disadvantages to staying up and playing it until 2AM the night it was released is I'm way ahead of any walkthrough sites that might give me a nudge.

Triple wow and my signature also under all the previous comments. I didn't even know there was a #3 afoot. And I remember how I was looking forward to #2....and didn't get disappointed, although the first one of course had a wow factor that cannot be matched, being totally new and innovative. But now I'm very excited!

And now we play the Android waiting game. I'm not entirely sure why, since they're developing in Unity, but I can wait for something this good.

Why publish the iOS version first before Android, as about 83% use Android and 14% use iOS?

Ooooooohh, a wish come true! Kind of a bummer to wait for the Android version.... But it'll be worth it I am certain.

I've been waiting for this for quite awhile, checking the developer's blog almost daily since summer. Multiple endings ensure many, many hours of play. It's a gorgeous game (I'm playing on an iPad Air) and plays very smoothly. It's pretty dark though, so I've had to bump-up the brightness level on my iPad in order to see better. It chews through your battery pretty handily, too. But, with a game like this, I think that's to be expected.

As for the iOS v. Android question...The multiplicity of hardware to support can be pretty daunting in Android, especially for a big game like this. I've also seen data showing that iOS users are far more likely to purchase big games like this than are Android users, so there's an economic incentive to develop for iOS first. I'm sure the Android version will be forthcoming very shortly.

Got all 4 endings with only one hint from a walkthrough. There's an object you can interact with but it seems to be disabled/broken and so you'll ignore it thinking you need to do something else first. But actually, it does do something, it's just very subtle.

It's the orb embedded in the railing upstairs.

Watch the background while you fiddle with it. (If you don't see anything, try a different angle.)

Walkthrough

Chapter I

Getting out of the cell

Open the hatch on the door to take a look outside. Put on the eyepiece and take a look at the sides of the stone plinth. You'll find a riddle on each side with a small rotating box below. Each box contains six items, one of which is the answer to the riddle. The correct answers are:

The poor have me the rich need me - Nothing
My face is silent without my hands - A watch
The power of flight The power of knowledge - A feather

Grab the ornate box and rotate the small, round lock to open it.
Put on the eyepiece, take a look at the door lock and double tap to go inside. Rotate the pins until each one brightens and the door will open.

Emblem Puzzle

Go to the stone table and put the engraved pyramid in the empty slot.
Grab the emblem and go to the framed ones on the wall. Place it in the white slot on the right. Each emblem should be the result of the two above it combined.
The end result should look like this: https://jayisgames.com/images/the-room-3/Emblems.jpg

Power Generator

In order to get the power generator working, you'll have to get electricity from the left side to the right. Using the sliders, connect the positive terminals with the negative ones. Not all have to be connected to get the generator running.
The end result should look like this - https://jayisgames.com/images/the-room-3/generator1.jpg

Oscilloscope

Pull the lever at the window. Flip the small switches on the wooden box and head to the desk. Turn the dials until both waves are the same width and height at the center of the screen.

Table Room

1. On the side of the table you'll notice a metal panel. Hold it open and swing the clasp behind it to open the drawer and take the wooden gear. Place it on the small tower in the middle of the table and rotate it.
2. Device on the Bookshelf

If you take a closer look at the device, you'll notice a small note saying "The name of the tower will reveal the way." The name of he tower is, indeed, a four-letter word. You can find it on the floor, next to the table or in the scroll at the window. The name is

PYRE.

To write the word, use the buttons on the left side of the device. The letter Y for example can be typed in by having the top and bottom arrow pointing at it.

3. Standing Stones Model

Before going into the standing stones model, make sure you have two magnets in your invenory.
Magnets

1. Take a look at the workshop model on the table and rotate the water wheel. You'll find the magnet inside.

2. On three of the standing stones you'll find two buttons. Press them simultaneously and you'll reveal the symbols that need to be drawn in the centre.
Magnets Puzzle

How it works: Both magnets go on the blue window inside the standing stones model. If you put on the eyepiece you'll see that they can be used to move the diamond shaped sliders.
At the other side of the box is a star chart with two sliders. Each one can be moved to one of 5 symbols. The two combinations can be found at the drawer and the pillar, on the right side of the star door.
1. Once you position the sliders on the star chart, focus on the looking glass. There should be 4 stars, one on each line. This is how the diamond shaped sliders need to be positioned, using the magnets.
2. Each magnet pushes the slider away, while having both magnets on the same slider will put it in the middle. The slider that needs to be in the middle should be the last one to modify (i.e if the top slider needs to be in the middle, start from the bottom one).

On the side of the box you'll find a drawer with a clock face inside.

4. Place the clock face on the empty spot on the tower, open it and go inside

1. Go back to the observatory and enter the room which you previously opened.
2. Place the stone craving on the lectern and rotate it.
3. To complete the puzzle, arrange the tokens that appeared to match the symbols on the ground.
The easiest way to do this is to move all the misplaced symbols to the top or bottom (according to where they should be) and then put them in their exact spots.

4. Back to the Telescope

1. Put the lens cover on the telescope and set all three wheels to the signs displayed on the pedestal.
2. Align the squares on the lens with the structures seen through it.

5. Globe Radar

1. Take a look at the globe in the other room. Rotating it will set a red light below the crosshair. The higher the frequency the closer you are to your target.
2. Rotate towards the direction of the light until you find a pattern (3 total).
3. Draw each pattern on the machine to the left.

6. Maze

Use the map on the left of the machine to navigate through the maze easily.
You'll notice that on each side of the central chamber is an astrological sign. Before reaching them, you'll need to find their pressure plates (with the same markings).
The goal is to activate the pressure plates in the central chamber.

7. The last planet

1. Place the orb from the maze on the solar system model and go inside.
2. Column Puzzle

Rotate the mid part of the column by holding one of the bolts up or down respectively.
To rotate the top and bottom parts, pull one of the bolts, rotate and release. This will help rotate the top and bottom of the column without changing the middle part.
Once you've made a clear path for the switch, pull it down.

3. When you're done with the puzzle, press the button on top of the planet and grab the pyramid.

IOS has 43% market share in the US. But worldwide they only have 14% to Androids 83%. http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp Android has lead in worldwide market share for at least 5 years.

That said, however, it is true that iOS users are typically MUCH more willing to spend cash on apps. A good example is this blog post by UStwo about Monument Valley: http://monumentvalleygame.squarespace.com/blog/2015/1/15/monument-valley-in-numbers

Hi! Samsung, LG, etc., are Andriod too so they are in those 83% of Android! And yes: why iOS must be always first? And I don't think so that the developpers work on iOS and Adroid at the same time: first they do en iOS version en after that the Android version! That's so unfair! I'm still waiting for too long this game for my Android device hoping that the 3rd will be better the te 2nd one! Happy 2016 to all! Cheers

I literally checked into the Play store multiple times the day this was supposed to drop, so I could catch it as soon as possible.

Decided to finally play these.. Maybe I should start with Room One. Nope, 3 looks grand Wow.. Room 3 is crazy awesome.. Then I went back and played One.. Yikes Am I glad I played 3 first.. If I had played Room One first, I would have never ever gotten to play Room Three.. Room One, IMO, reeks. Lousy knit picky puzzles , horrible sound effects you can't turn off. boring boring boring.

I just love The Room series!!!

I'm having trouble getting the 4th ending. It seems like of the two small towers, only 1 is "turned on" at a time, i.e. pressing the top button on one turns off the other. I get either the train cabin door, or the wooden door, but no dark hole as the walkthrough describes. What have I missed doing?

OK, third time's a charm: I figured it out. When your done with the inside of the right tower, do NOT press the button on top. Instead, go to the front side and use your screwdriver to remove the panel. That will turn on the light. Then proceed with the left tower as usual and once you press its button you will have both towers shining their lights, and you get the foggy doorway.

Would appreciate a correction to the walkthrough when you have a moment.

It's now available at amazon.co.uk & amazon.com. Does that mean that it will work on the Fire tablet?
