Crimson Room and sequels are DS bound
Fans of Flash adventure games rejoice! Crimson Room and its sequels, Viridian Room, Blue Chamber, and White Chamber, are headed to the Nintendo DS for touch-screen enhanced remakes. For those unfamiliar with the series, they are point-and-click adventure games revolving around escaping from various colored locations. The puzzles are often cryptic and obtuse with trial-and-error being your only investigative method. However, they are still remarkably well put together, if somewhat short lived, experiences.
The move to the DS has apparently changed little in the way of core gameplay mechanics, with the only discernible difference being an ever-present inventory inhabiting the top screen. There also appears to be dedicated turning buttons running along the edges of the screen, which is a major improvement as turning in the original was somewhat cumbersome.
The compilation will be released in Japan by publisher Success for a reported 2500 yen (or about 20 U.S dollars). There is no word on a Western release, yet. If you would like to see what all the fuss is about, the original flash versions are up on their creator’s website: fasco-cse.com
