Contact The Room Pocket Support

I purchased this game on iPad years ago and wanted to revisit it and the sequel since The Room III is now out and was going buy that. I downloaded this pocket version on my phone thinking I was good until I was prompted after the first chapter to buy or restore my purchase. I naturally asked to restore my purchase and it said I couldn't. I did some digging and found in the developers website that this is a common issue. It is actually 2 different programs and you must purchase both versions if you wish to play on both a phone/pod and a pad. Even though it is the exact same gameplay! I didn't see any other comments about this so I figured I would leave one explaining. I only put 1 star so that it would get noticed more. Obviously though since I have purchased both 1 and 2 on iPad I think it is overall a 5 star game. Great graphics, puzzles, and overall interface and gameplay are top notch. However I'm rethinking purchasing the 3rd installment since I now can't play the first on my phone.

I got this game because I recently purchased the Quest 2 and The Room A Dark Matter and absolutely loved it. I only got hung up once where I actually had to google what to do next. The puzzle was not easy by any means but still
Doable. Anyway now I'm going to try all the earlier games on my phone. Which brings me here. I can't seem to get from one clue to the next without a hint. It's so frustrating that I find myself not even enjoying the puzzle. The option to zoom in on one specific spot is by far the most frustrating. It will zoom in on a part I don't want. Like I wish I could zoom in and then rotate the box as to thoroughly inspect and see where I should go next. The time it takes to zoom in on the wrong thing and then zoom out and I keep swiping the window of the actual app closed (iPhone 11). The puzzle is also very dark and my brightness is full blast and I'm sitting with the sunlight on my phone to see and still it's too dark. My eyes are just tired and I'm frustrated using clue after clue. Anyway I'll Try again tomorrow. I won't quit and it's obviously done beautifully so I gave 4 stars.

The puzzles in this game are like cool mystery boxes. It's too bad I didn't think the story behind the boxes were all that interesting. It seemed like the only point to solving the puzzles was to get some flashy cutscenes of mystery markings and creepy sounds. That said, the puzzles themselves are very interesting. Sometimes they seem so hard to understand that the hint system is essential to completing them. Either way, it's a better challenge to try and use the hints less often. A game like this makes you wish boxes like this really existed, but could you imagine the price of building such intricate boxes only to solve them once and never use them again? That's what makes this game's 99 cent in app purchase so valuable. It's very affordable and should take 4 to 6 hours to complete the game. I recommend trying it out. It was a very unusual game that scratched an itch I couldn't get scratched anywhere else.
