Escape from the Yellow Room 3

The first thing you should know about Escape from the Yellow Room 3 is that the room is not yellow. In fact, you’ll visit more than one room, and none of them are yellow. I suppose this is just a quirk of sequel naming conventions; I haven’t played the first Yellow Room, but from glancing at some screenshots, it does, indeed, seem to take place in a yellow room. But that immediate and stunning disconnect between this game’s title and its content really set a tone for me that carried through to the whole experience.

This is going to be a very personal review. I've never been creeped out by escape room games before, but this one? This one is different. It's got almost everything that I found creepy. (Just in case you don't care how I feel about this game, here're some basic comments: It's a short escape room with clever puzzles, a unique style, and not much story.) I've played my share of mystery rooms, and one of the reasons I like this genre is that you can just take your time to explore and think. But the setting of this game is just too unsettling. There's no furniture, no wallpapers, no rugs, no paintings, no dolls... Just an empty, white room that doesn't have much to explore. And the colors. Since the room is all white, every different color stands out so much. The room made me so nervous. I am never claustrophobic but I am desperate to get out.

So it's about escaping from a room and some of the puzzles are actually quite complicated. The settings of the room look simple and minimalist but that's what makes it a little creepy. Am not sure if I am getting a little dumb or if the puzzles are just too clever. Anyway back to the game and no, I will not be looking for walkthroughs!
