Crimson Room
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crimson Room is an Adobe Flash game by Toshimitsu Takagi originally made for the Fasco-CSC website. Like several other games by Takagi, it involves escaping from a room or similar boundary using items hidden nearby. The game was inspired by "Chasm", "Droom" and "MOTAS". Crimson Room included more stylish imagery and interesting perspective changes to make the puzzle visually as well as mentally stimulating. The game's success caused its rapid spread across the internet, and has inspired many other games based on the concept of "escape the room".
[edit] Story
As the unnamed protagonist, you awake after a night of heavy drinking to find yourself lying in a strange bed. Arising, you realize you are trapped in a small, spare room with crimson walls. The door is locked, and the one window does not open. With no other clues to guide you, you must gather items hidden throughout the room and somehow use them to escape.
[edit] Sequels
Toshimitsu Takagi also created Viridian Room (the sequel to Crimson Room), and a smaller puzzle for the mobile phone, Blue Chamber. A fourth room, White Chamber, was recently released to the public, but seems to be unrelated to the other rooms in the series. Toshimitsu Takagi has announced the next two titles are to be "Pink Prison" and "Tangerine Room".
