"Did you know that 9/10 rooms recommend that you stand in them? The 10th one is a chair."
-The Mysterious Voice



In Codename: Room, the player is placed into a perfectly cubular room covered with gray tiles. This room however is not as it appears. It can make images appear on the walls along with a few other "special" things. Once inside, a mysterious voice will come in and be mysterious (as mysterious voices are). He will give the player instructions on what needs to be done. The player will then have to complete a series of challenges that will involve platforming and puzzle-solving skills. The mysterious voice will then judge the player's performance. A single run of the game only takes about 10 minutes but there are multiple endings and various other secrets to discover.

You can download the demo from itch.io. I'm currently working on the full version which adds more easter eggs and expands the narrative. While a run in the demo takes about 10 minutes to complete, a run in the full version should take about an hour. I'll be posting updates for the full version on my Twitter.

If you're interested then I'd appreciate any feedback that you might have.

So any relation to Jim Henson's The Cube?

I don't think I've heard of that one before.

Hey Brandon,

I played your game.  Here are my thoughts:

Good Things
- The voice quality is very good.  The voice acting is quite good as well
- I really liked when the narrator reacted to how good or bad I was doing
- The mystery of the game had me interested

Things that could use work
- The pacing was a little off.  I got a little bored of being pinned in place while the narrator talked.
- I couldn't solve the ball drop puzzle

Overall it's pretty good!  I look forward to seeing how this improves

Hey jbarrios, one thing about the ball puzzle is that if you're on the bad path then you don't have to actually solve it. If you fail it intentionally then the game will move on.
