The Room 3 is probably my favorite in the series. What a great game!

[@DerB23]

Thank you for still making these videos, even though they don't gain as much as attention as they deserve

[@bdletoast09]

I wish Fireproof would work with a bigger studio so that they can realease a more ambitious follow up of this storyline. The eldritch horror aspect could make for such a great Myst like game.

[@AbsolutelyPuzzled]

Yeah, why not Cyan Worlds themselves? They could use a win these days... I doubt anything like that will happen though, based on Fireproof's social media posts, it seems like they value complete creative freedom above all else. It's an interesting idea nonetheless.

@@AbsolutelyPuzzled I respect a company that wishes to keep a firm hand on their intellectual property, but Fireproof is a really small studio, and I fear they'll never be able to extend the formula beyond what they already did. The let down of the VR game kind proved that they reach the limits to where they can bring this franchise with their current means. The series is fairly popular and generally acclaimed as one of the best mobile puzzle game, or even puzzle game in recent years. With the interesting world building it has, I really feel that they could try to go for something bigger with a bit of help from a slightly bigger studio.

thanks for explaining the story flawlessly. English is not my first language so it was hard for me to keep up with the story while playing but now I understand the story

[@Angel_Edits_Art]

The Room 3 is definitely my favorite so far. Great video

[@2morrowillcome]

Well done, I've been thoroughly enjoying these games since I discovered them a few months ago. I started to feel bad when I was so engaged with solving the puzzles that I was losing patience with following the overall story. If you have the desire, I'd love to see a deeper dive into the overarching story from all four games. Also I've been getting a kick out of subtle liminal space horror games like Anemoiapolis and Dreamcore. Not sure if you're into that sort of thing, or if you've already done something in that genre haha. Just discovering your channel so forgive my ignorance. Happy to subscribe early. Keep it up.

Hey, thanks for checking out the channel, glad you enjoyed. I had a similar idea to make a sort of "The Room Explained" or "The Room Full Timeline" video, but before I even started, I asked the question: Is there enough information that I haven't already shared to justify making another video, or would I just be repeating myself and trying to milk the series for more content? As of right now, I won't be pursuing the idea, but if a new game were to be released that connects the entire story and concludes the series for good, I would definitely make that video. I'm a huge fan of liminal/backrooms lore videos and liminal/weird core music, but I haven't played any of the videogames yet, but I will look into the ones you've suggested.

[@AbsolutelyPuzzled]

Hey, I checked out both of the games you suggested in my latest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpbCZmanftSXbas Let me know what you think!

[@WookietheQ]

Funny enough I’ve only gotten the first boat ending before any others. That’s the only ending I’m able to figure out

[@thechosenone5421]

I always wanted to know what was inside that temple

[@Nicke422]

I played every game and just skipped the notes … i had no idea what i missed

[@survivorofthecurse717]

I'm stil confused by the "Lost" Ending. Can you explain it a little more?

[@AbsolutelyPuzzled]

The "Lost" ending is the hardest ending to get, but it actually provides the least amount of closure to the player. That's not to say that having your soul trapped for eternity to be used as a battery (Imprisoned ending) or possibly bringing about the end of the world (Release ending) is a "good" ending, but they are at least a bit more conclusive. The "Escape" ending is the only one that seems to be a happy ending, as walking away from the Null in this universe appears to be the only way to not suffer a terrible fate. The "Lost" ending is...very vague. The protagonist is completely alone on the alien planet that the most dangerous substance known to mankind originates from. Will he meet a gruesome death the second he walks through that temple door? Maybe. Will he find a way to stop the Null's influence on earth for good? Maybe. Did the developers write themselves into a corner, so we'll never find out? Probably.
