Samsara Room Reviews

by RxotiK

I finished the game in about 2 hours of game play. The puzzles were an acceptable level of difficulty, not too hard or easy. However, the ending didn’t really explain anything, and there were a couple of loose ends in the game that never were resolved.

1. What does the voice say over the phone, and what does the flying question mark ever mean? That was never explained.

2. Why does the stork lift his leg after vomiting the infant? That never amounted to anything.

3. The 3rd clock position that I figured out wasn’t based on any clue. I think this was an error in the game. I searched and searched for a clock or time to switch the dial in the clock correctly, but ended up just trying every position available in 5 minute increments until something worked. There was no clue to help with that. Afterwards however, the piece of paper in the drawer had the time on it that I had already figured out by trial and error, as well as the final clock position.

4. I don’t know if the scales ever did anything or not. I used them, but there was never any affirmation that they were used correctly.

5. The images in the mirror and the mirror itself doesn’t seem to have much of anything to contribute to the game play.

Like I said, I finished it fairly quickly, but I don’t think I correctly solved every puzzle, I think there is one error in puzzle progression, and there is no great revelation at the end.

There are only a few puzzles, and the bulk of the game is finding hidden objects and determining how to apply them. I liked the changing atmospheres of the different levels and the lower degree of creepy imagery (though could have done without a couple images) that I didn’t enjoy in The Cube Escape Collection. I found myself not wanting to stop playing until I got to the end. I thought I ran into a glitch when I solved some challenges out of order and ended up in the next level without obtaining items from previous levels. I couldn’t see a way to return to find those missing items so I reset and started over. Eventually I realized I could reset the clock to move between levels. I wish there was a more obvious back button or that the game’s clues were more helpful. More often than not, clues were confusing or showed me what I had already accomplished, so I had to resort to watching walkthroughs for hints. The graphics and animation are pretty basic, but I was still engrossed and even charmed by the animals (especially the lizard), the soothing music, and the peaceful ending.

This game, in many ways, transcends the definition of a game. It has become more. It has become... enlightened.

I have never played any Rusty Lake games, nor any escape room games, but this one caught my eye and the glowing reviews helped motivate me to get it. It took me a little under two hours to finish, and I am not disappointed in the slightest. The puzzles are creative and tricky and sometimes creepy, all good things by my count. The gameplay is simple, yet the objects and puzzles are so varied that it makes it feel very dynamic overall. The “enlightenment” “plot” is very creative and definitely gives the creepy elements symbolic meaning. A very well-rounded, brain-tickling game.

Overall, this is a fantastic game that I would wholeheartedly recommend to just about anyone who likes puzzles or riddles or being relaxed or trying something new, and I will definitely be looking into other Rusty Lake games in the future. Thank you, developers!

Found it on the AppStore and was intrigued mostly by the name. I take a class where I study world religions, and for those who don’t know, Samsara means the wheel of rebirth and it’s part of a Hindu belief to do with reincarnation. The art style and puzzles are amazing. It’s a fascinating theme, and I was able to complete it without feeling too frustrated or feeling it was too easy. The puzzles were challenging but they felt rewarding, and I felt accomplished for solving them. It’s relatively short, took me around 4 hours at most, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and Im looking forward to playing other games by the developers. PS: While playing with audio is not necessary, the sound design is fantastic and it really helps with immersion. Download it and give it a try, there are hints if you get stuck though I was able to complete it just fine without using any.

by Yayahahahhaha

I love it very very much that fact it didn’t had any ads that get in the way while you are playing the game. I got stuck on some parts like the last stage and the stage before it but I got it till the end and everything of this game was just absolutely amazing the graphics and the design I like the fact is that there is a eye that can help you and give you hints if you really need them. So if you like hard puzzles I recommend you this. I think you should buy this game it is really fun and anyone can download it and again I think you will love it! I would love to buy more games from you rusty lake there were so many twists and turns it’s like a fever dream I really like that in some puzzles it really has to be Specific I really and I do truly am amazed by this game I have never seen a game any thing like this!

by Deathtoyourpics

So I want to start off with saying I’m still trying to solve the entire puzzle. I have to close it a lot and come back to it later so I can give my brain a rest. It is very “liminal space” type vibes and I become very immersed in the game, I lose track of time and truly become the figure in the mirror.

With that said, this is an amazing game. There was so much creativity, passion, and thought put into this game. I truly enjoy it and if you like a good game that makes your brain tick, I highly suggest it. I have seen negative reviews on this game that literally just say “doesn’t make sense” and “don’t get it, it’s terrible”. Bestie that doesn’t make it a bad game, it just means it is not meant for you and that’s fine, go play something else and let the people who it IS for leave the reviews.

TL;DR RUSTY LAKE IS AMAZING

I usually do not leave reviews but I have played every single one of rusty lake games, I’m about to go buy “the white door”. But the creators of these games are absolutely genius I have played probably hundreds of escape games (it calms me down don’t judge) and these games are my favoritism by far! Amazing graphics, amazing ideas, amazing just overall. My favorite thing is how they almost kinda all feed into each other, and once you think the game is over it hits you with a like “twist”. I can even say the right words for how amazing this team of creators/creator is. I used to play them on “addictinggames” when I was younger and have finally remembered them and got them on my phone! Anyways not really about this game but just all the games in general (this is the newest one as of right now) I can’t wait to see what the future holds but I’m OBSESSED with these games.

by Active Working Mom

Love the Rusty Lake games. Although I do get impatient since I don’t have a lot of time to spend on my phone .... so end up looking for walkthroughs online when stuck. This game was very fun and I loved the twists but also consistent pattern of each “room” and solutions which gave the game cohesiveness. I only used the walkthrough a couple of times. Anyone who loves real escape rooms would likely find this entertaining.
My only complaint was the functionality of the owl puzzle. Even knowing the riddle and seeing the walkthrough answer, it was awkward to get the right pattern completed. After trying several times, I came back a day later and hit upon the right sequence. Would be nice if the in game hints were more helpful. In case someone wanted to just get past a section to keep playing instead of giving up.
I’ll continue to recommend your games though!

After years of new games coming to SamsaraRoom Store, I almost never download any games anymore. I can name a few reasons to as why for that but that would consume the time I have for writing the review on this game that I recently just came across. For some reason I wanted to play an escape the room type game, and without hesitation I downloaded samsara room.
The game and art style was beautiful in respect to its art style and theme and really captured my attention even further. The music overplayed in the background as well really setting the tone as well.
The puzzles were really fun to figure out and also not cookie cutter as every other game nowadays. I know this is a lot to say for one little app game but for a free game with no ads that really captured my attention in such a long time is really a treat. I honestly recommend for those who wanted to pass the time to take a shot at the game.

If you like puzzle games with a slight horror aspect you will absolutely be in love with all the rusty lake games like I am. I’ve been playing these games for years and have gotten my friends and family playing as well. The puzzles are so carefully thought out and the satisfaction you’ll get after you solve them feels really good. You don’t have to have played the games before this one or even play them in order but it’ll help you understand the story line and catch little eggs in there. (I recommend looking up the correct order to play) honestly the story is good and there’s so many plot twists and things you won’t see coming. but please to anyone who’s not sure about getting the game trust me and give it a try. You might get frustrated at some parts (I always do) but it wouldn’t be a good puzzle game without challenges. Rusty lake has some of the best games you can find on SamsaraRoom Store so to anyone who has some extra time on their hands or are into extremely well written puzzle games, this is the perfect game for you.

This was my first game of Rusty Lake's that I've played, and I went on to play all of the other escape room games that were available to me. Let this be known, I am easily spooked and there were times where I would be so invested in finishing it that I wouldn't care, and other times where I had to turn it off because it was spooky. I don't enjoy scary or spooky games, but my younger sister (age 10) had suggested this to me to play. She adores spooky things and I had refused for a week but I got invested when I saw her playing. She knew I liked puzzle games and I like to say I'm pretty good at them. I downloaded it after denying her offer multiple times, and within a few hours I had already finished the game. She kept asking ME for helping after suggesting it, it was wonderful. All in all, I adore Rusty Lake and I love suggesting it to others!

I’ve never played any Rusty Lake games before. I was scrolling on my apple store game sections, bored and looking for a new game. That’s when I spotted Samsara room. I usually like escape room games, so I thought I’d give it a try. The second I opened SamsaraRoom , I fell in love with the art style. The pure aesthetic of the game truly peaked my interest. It was sort of creepy, but also very calming, and I like that. After exploring past the first level, I realized just how unique the game is. The aspect of entering different realms was so magical to me, and the different views and attributes of each dimension truly immersed me into the game. The more and more I played it, the more and more I grew fond of it. I love the riddles, the puzzles, the challenges. The puzzles weren’t extremely easy, but weren’t overly difficult, which is a nice change from other escape room games. Before I knew it, the game ended. Although I was sad due to my habit of rushing through games, I knew for sure that Samsara room was a game that I could play again, so I did. I played it again, and again, and again. No matter how many times I played it, I never got bored. This game is truly breathtaking, and I can’t wait for more Rusty Lake games, knowing that they will be impeccable.

I’ve never ever written a review for anything on SamsaraRoom Store but I really wanted to express how amazing Rusty Lake’s games are, never have I ever been so interested and entertained by a game series on SamsaraRoom Store. The art style is simple yet satisfying especially when you interact with the environment and figure out the puzzles. That’s the thing too, I’ve tried to find other games that can compare to the enjoyment I get when I complete one of their games, but the Rusty Lake games are so unique I really can’t find a close comparison which brings me to my next point. I have purchased every single Rusty Lake game and I believe it was worth every penny; what made it so special to me was I was starting to get worried whenever I was beating all the games, when I finally beat them all I felt genuinely sad that I had no more to play. So yes this game and any other Rusty Lake game is a 10/10 in my opinion and I urge anyone to give them a try if you enjoy a really beautifully put together puzzle game. If the developers happen to read this, you all do an outstanding job, please continue to create these master pieces so I can spend my money on them 😂

I almost never write reviews but this game is such a well-deserved exception. From start to finish this game is such a beautiful, unique experience and is miles above what I’ve come to expect from a mobile game. It is a perfect balance between puzzle-solving and storytelling with just a touch of horror in all the right places. Samsara Room has simple gameplay mechanics that build upon themselves brilliantly as the game progresses. The art style is gorgeous and combined with the music creates an eery, surreal atmosphere. You don’t have to enjoy or even like puzzle games to have fun playing this wonderful adventure of a game, I highly recommend it to anyone. I was surprised when I first played that the game was free to play as well! I’ve seen so many lower quality games that cost money (aka Apple Arcade) that are nowhere near the level of creativity and value Samsara Room brings to the table.
I’m very happy to leave a review and honestly felt obligated after playing what I would consider a masterpiece. Keep up the great work making amazing games like this one, Rusty Lake! All of the positive feedback you receive is well-earned :)

I’ve played countless escape room games off SamsaraRoom Store, and almost all of them have tons of ads and absolutely no story behind them. Basically you play it for five minutes and your done. This game is nothing like that. There are no ads (it’s a free game so it’s rare to have no ads), there is a story behind it if you look close enough and take the time to try and piece it together in your head, the controls are super easy on Mobil, and there was even a cool little ending to it. The game is difficult and there are no hints, but there is a walkthrough attached in the settings menu under the question mark. I only write reviews if the game is really good, and even then I barely ever give them five stars, but this game deserves it, it exceeded my expectations by so much. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes escape room games and has been struggling to find any good ones like me. Great game, good job developers, you are amazing and I can’t wait to download all of your other games right now to play them! ❤️

This is my first review on any game I’ve played; just keep that in mind.

I always love these kind of games where you have to put your mind into completing it! It’s a kind of puzzle/trivia game that’s really out of the ordinary compared to other competitive thinking games; which is why this made it such a good game! I absolutely loved spending my time with this game. This game really focuses on thinking your way through it; even the hints provided don’t give you the full answer, it still makes you think, wonder, and put the problem together. It also seems as if this game was trying to make it a fun way to get people to there about the message they are trying to spread. The fish, worm, heart, and egg all played a sole purpose into making the ending so extraordinary. I absolutely loved this game. I recommend to anyone who enjoys a game with such thought out processing that makes it more fun than stressful. Props to the creators.❤️

This game, which is kind of like an escape room puzzle, but not really about escape and much more new age-y, is not easy, but definitely worthwhile. The only ads you'll see are if you ask for a clue. But beware that the clues themselves sometimes require some interpretation and, in one case towards the very end of the game, requesting the clue for the daytime nest area only helps you to solve the first part of that puzzle (the part I had already figured out on my own), but not the second part. (Maybe if I had selected the clue option again it would have given me a different clue? But I did end up figuring it out on my own, so I'm kinda glad I didn't try that.)

This game is free and I solved it all in a few days of casual play, but, considering it was free, that was fine. When you finish this game, there's a link to another one by the same designers, which costs $2.99, so I think this game is partly there to whet your appetite for buying the next one. Consider my appetite whetted!

I’m not only talking for cube escape- the entire series is so magical and beautiful, with eerie features and music making the game have a hint of creepy. As some of these games are very violent, I feel this is the honestly best experience I’ve ever had with a game. My favorite part is that there are no other people playing, so it gives it an errier style knowing your there alone. The art style of this game is genius and brilliant. I’d enjoy to purchase the white room because that would be a nice twist from the regular series, as is. Not saying the series is bad, it’s brilliant and my favorite (don’t ever end it please add more free games please!!!) this is my dead favorite series with some beautifully creepy art styles. I don’t know why but it gives me the chills. The series does include some dark humor, but this series is aimed towards teenagers. I think this game is the best game series ever. Love you so much. x chillyairxo

I absolutely never write any reviews (this is my first one) but I think this game deserves it. I had seen this game pop up on my recommended games a few times, but was hesitant to get it. When I was scrolling though games to get the other day, I saw samsara room and thought I’d give it a go. I was nervous the game would either be too easy or to hard, but it’s just the right amount of challenging, enough to make you think for a bit and have fun exploring. Immediately when I started the game, the aesthetic and function of the game had me sold, and the more I played the more interesting the game got. Samsara room had me ‘oohing’ out loud at the new interesting bit that I had uncovered in the game. Although the entire game only took a few hours to complete, my enjoyment of the game will last longer. I had never played a Rusty Lake game before this one, but I’m exited to say I’ll be playing some of their other games because of this one.

by Maxxxieee

Update: I completed the game and I have to say I am NOT disappointed. Samsara Room is an amazing game that gets harder as you progress and had me stumped throughout most of it. One of my favorite things about this game is how the graphics are eery yet simple in a way that grabs your attention. The style kind of reminds me of salad fingers, if you know what that is. Secondly, I love how you have to really think hard to solve the puzzles, but don’t be ashamed of using a hint or two. And for those who don’t like having a game solved for them, the hints are kinda discreet and still require some level of thinking around them. Overall it was a great experience, highly recommend!

Original: I haven’t completed the game yet (not sure if it has an end even) but so far, it’s been pretty challenging and lots of fun to solve the mysteries throughout the various scenes. The graphics are also quite eery, which I enjoy.

I love this game so much it’s really hard fun at the same time me and my sister were just watching TV and then we wanted to like you know just get off of the TV and do something else like at least download a new game so we were sitting on the couch and then we wanted some thing like tricky to do and then we found this game it looks like a scary game but it’s not that scary and we were playing it and then we would like this isn’t that normal it’s like not that easy without like when most other games like this would be like easy easy but this one’s not that easy it’s like easy and hard at the same time sometimes it’s easy sometimes it’s hard I’m like on a really hard level right nowBut that’s it for my review hope you guys like it😍🥰😍🥰😍☺️☺️

Hi I come from this game I took time to download all the free games this game is really fun all though it got a little confusing but I’m trying to figure it out and I’m not giving up this game is amazing and really entertaining I could sit for hours doing this and nothing else really I enjoy this game but it kinda glitched my phone but no worry’s i just needed to update it I started playing on my 9 hour car ride and then I restarted on my 2 day car ride we slept in the car and I stayed up late playing this game but could you try making the hotel game cheaper I am 10 and my mom doesn’t have much money she has a little for food and that game looks really fun and since this game is so good I will give it five stars hope you can respond to this review!!!!

by A Beauty In Disguise

I usually never write reviews because it ends up always being a waste of time since I never actually truly like the game. But this game has taught me so much more. I will admit it was a little difficult and took many breaks so I could actually think about this. but the lesson behind the game and the actual meaning is truthfully heartwarming. I’ve never felt this way towards any game but I would play this game and over 1 million times because how well this game was put together. I’ve never played a game from this creator, but I will tell you this will not be the last time that I play from them. I definitely recommend getting this game. It doesn’t just teach you a lesson but it really makes you think about how the world works. I loved every aspect of this game. <3333

by XDFox

Dammm it’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a game so much. Just finding my way through all the puzzles and weirdness of it is just an amazing experience. I anticipated what would happen next, what I would encounter next. I really appreciate the developers for making this game. If only the story was longer and there were even more strange interactions. I just couldn’t put down the phone and couldn’t bare to use the hints because I don’t back down from challenges. I finished the game in one go without using hints and it was pretty straightforward Ngl. I would love more games like this in the future, just here to let everyone know that I had fun and would definitely recommend this game if you’re bored like me.

by Sepehrsaffaran

First i wanted to say thank you and you did a great thing again! Second I’m playing your games since you released The Cave, i played it and i loved it, then i bought roots and it was the most amazing adventure/escape game i’ve ever seen! And i am always curious about what’s to be next, i have played your products many times and i got to tell you i have no idea about what’s the real story behind rusty lake🤷‍♂️ and that keeping everybody in dark and they should find out by their own or somehow guess that, is awesome! Btw i don’t know how you find these songs because they are making the game more enjoyable and wonderful like ending song of this (Samara Room)!
Again thank you very much for making the best games i’ve ever played🙏

by Sunshinydaysd

Let me start off by saying I don’t usually play games, but I was in a weird mood and had some time to kill. When I went searching on SamsaraRoom Store I somehow came across playergirl101!’s review of this game and her review was so glowing I just had to try it. Let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. The problem I have w most games is they’re not challenging enough and they’re over too quickly. Wellllll, that was NOT a problem w this one. Omg I was transfixed for HOURS. The music was both soothing and creepy. Same for the graphics. I LOOOOVED the theme. Happy anniversary, Rusty Lake, and I can’t wait to find some more of your hidden treasures! (Ps so glad I paid for ad free. My money count not have been better spent ❤️)
