I'm a sucker for The Room style mechanical puzzle box games (there's something about the way that the mechanisms unlock that's very satisfying). Boxes is a little easier than The Room games, but it's got a LOT of boxes to figure out, each one taking around 5-10 minutes to play through. Each box has a different theme and there are some fun little games hidden within them (you even play a little bit of Red Light, Green Light at one point!) I missed one of the story cards just before the end, but this is what it says: (Spoilers) "Within this containment device resides a power beyond reckoning, a force that can alter the fabric of existence itself. To open it is to disturb the equilibrium of our world, and to bear the responsibility for the untold consequences that may follow".
I am an avid enjoyer of the Room series. Own and have beaten every one of their games at least twice now. I gots to get me some more. Hell if I don’t find where this is soon.
30:16 OMG! That light switch! Everything else so far has been this intricate and fancy design akin to the Victorian Era and then you have this regular ass looking light switch from Home Depot.
I've not heard the world "kinaesthetically" before, but it's a perfect descriptor for what I find pleasing about the game. Thanks for adding a new word to my vocabulary! :)
@@AlphaBetaGamer thanks, I love it too) Not my invention, though. Campster from Errant Signal used it in one of his videos many years ago. It means "what you feel when interracting with core mechanics of the game".
Kinaesthtics are related to the position and operation of parts of your body. E.g. your “kinaesthetic sense” is your ability to tell what position your limbs are in without looking at them. So things operating and clicking in a pleasing way would certainly be kinaesthetic if you were actually physically doing it. In a digital format I’m not quite sure but let’s say close enough 😅.
Oh. My. Goodness! Am I in heaven? Out of all the puzzle-solving games I've seen, THIS takes the whole cake! I have a knick-knack for solving puzzles, even though it's..."puzzling". Just looking at this game really gives me the edge of solving the game as well! Hell, just watching even satisfied me already! Of this, I APPROVE. 👍😎
One could say this game is a bit puzzling 🤔. Well at least they thought outside the box on this one 😏. Seriously though I'm loving the concept of this game so much. Once again I thank you for bringing yet another hidden Gem to my attention.
So these guys also made another puzzle game called Doors: Paradox in 2022, and it looks just as good as this! It shows how much progress has been made! Beautiful!
Hey now, Myst has an odd and COOL plot, I kinda love it (although I'm playing them for the first time and Riven is already getting WAY more sharp with the story)!
The plot of this game: "Please don't awaken the Abominable Intelligence I created. She exists across dimensions and thinks she is God. Also, she is powered by dark matter and might as well actually be god. ANYWAY, she is PISSED OFF and dangerous." The player: "Oooooh. Shiny boxes"
He got trapped with said shiny boxes so I wouldn't put the blame on him (although he did read the notes so he knew what he was doing ig) Edit: Apparently Aurora sent the letter that bought the guy here. We've been tricked and bamboozled in every way.
im very impressed on the details and mechanics, its really well thought out on each piece of puzzle, on how things work and function, very interesting and entertaining
I like watching people play thru puzzle games I have done to see the differences in skill and approach. Like I did things in a different order in some rooms. There was one puzzle that took me forever to finish that was done in like 4 or 5 moves here. Also I had to brute force one of the puzzles because I didn't find the hint for it. 😅
I dont know why, but i just imagine nezu from mha doing this. Like he has a super smart arch nemisis who acts like the riddler without the ego. He set several bombs throughout the city that will go off if he doesn't win in two hours.
The ones in the clock box 13:00 are proper. Those two symmetrical symbols are either invented or from something else. They don't turn up in a cursory search of alchemy symbols but there are a lot.
I never knew how much I need this type of game before lol, just seems like an obviously great idea for a game considering how much views do those mechanical puzzle channels get
Oh hey just from the first look I thought "This looks very much like the Doors:Paradox game" and went to check it - it's from the same developer. That game was fun and creative so I'll definitely check this one out, puzzle games scratch that itch no other game can.
Did anyone else get the steam version for PC and get a completely different queen puzzle for the Card Box? I've got a knight with an axe that you have to avoid while going from a gold starting ring to another gold ending ring. But everything I see online has this other one.
Huh, the ladybug puzzle at 18:20 looks really similar to Monument Valley - it even has the same retractable crank-handle in the part with the rotating stairs!
I really like the concept and execution of this, however the fact you can't wind up the guy at 11:15 and make him do a little jig is highly disappointing.
feels like a milestone that The Room was an original mobile game that pretty much defined its own subgenre and now it's seeing more games populating it even in other platforms
I didn't expect to find this video interesting, but I actually did! The graphics look amazing, and the puzzles are intricate and interesting, while also not being so frustrating that you want to quit and lose interest
Am I the only one getting strong Animusic vibes from this? Something about the graphics and all the tiny moving clockwork parts really reminds me of it.
This is my jam. I could play a game like this for days straight and not get tired of it. Is it from the creator of Monument Valley? I see a lot of similarities.
Huge fan of The Room series so I'm excited about this but am also skeptical that it might be too close and be a rip off (I'm not making that claim) I'll for sure be picking this up, it looks great!
No worries! I did miss one note right near the end of the game though. The text for that one is: "Within this containment device resides a power beyond reckoning, a force that can alter the fabric of existence itself. To open it is to disturb the equilibrium of our world, and to bear the responsibility for the untold consequences that may follow"
Playing it on mobile now has a different ending I’m pretty sure or it just updated so you will no longer be in jail. It’s either that or it’s a chance you’ll be imprisoned
Oh damn, can't believe I missed that! It reads: "Within this containment device resides a power beyond reckoning, a force that can alter the fabric of existence itself. To open it is to disturb the equilibrium of our world, and to bear the responsibility for the untold consequences that may follow".
@@AlphaBetaGamer WOW! Thanks so much for not only responding but telling me what it says. That easily deserves a 11/10. Seriously though, thank you. Well, the guy didn't read it, so that could help explain why we released her, although he did read the other cards...
i'm trying to figure out the card box puzzle at 1:17:36 but the little pawn minigame on my phone is completely different from the one you're playing in the video

You are always providing alternatives to the generic AAA gaming industry and I appreciate that.
I hate puzzle but this kind a interesting specially when u played 🎉
I was going to say, this looks like it plays EXACTLY like The Room series. I love that series too.
Ah yes. The birth of the Roomclone genre. Hopefully.
You’re tearing me apart Lisa!
Oh wait wrong The Room, my bad.
Hell yeah. I'm down for more games like The Room. Those were some great puzzle games.
Yeah, this one reminds me a lot of The Room games and The House of Da Vinci games. Love them puzzle games
*fails to solve puzzle*

The ladybug puzzle reminds me a lot of Monument Valley. Anyone else see the resemblance?

A very interesting game! It did say "To Be Continued", so I'm hoping they make a sequel so you can play it and I can watch.
I had a completely different ending, where the robot immediately takes over the world. Did they change it at some point?
Just watching you solving these puzzles in these different themed boxes are so fun to watch. And the sound they made... oh they're so fun to listen.
If this could run smoothly as a VR game it would be amazing.
So these guys also made another puzzle game called Doors: Paradox in 2022, and it looks just as good as this! It shows how much progress has been made! Beautiful!
This is honestly one of the coolest things I've seen. I honestly get major Myst vibes but without the odd plot.
Hey now, Myst has an odd and COOL plot, I kinda love it (although I'm playing them for the first time and Riven is already getting WAY more sharp with the story)!

Wow, this game is beautiful and incredibly well done! Bravo to the developers!

I so love these types of puzzles! ANd the way those boxes change, shift and activates those mechanisms are so mesmerizing!
This is beautiful, I love watching clockwork in motion, and hearing all the clicks and whirring.
Holy shot!! Thanks Alpha! Thanks for showing this game ! 🎉
Please developers - i want to see so many Room-esque games it becomes a genre and brings back escape rooms.
getting serious Dr. Brain vibes off this one. Love it.
Level Title in video: "Mayan Box"
Nearly every puzzle piece in the level: *labeled as Aztec*
im very impressed on the details and mechanics, its really well thought out on each piece of puzzle, on how things work and function, very interesting and entertaining

Definitely has some Monument Valley vibes, for anyone who's played that game.
I love watching puzzles get solved. It's such a satisfying feeling. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Even if I'd be terrible at games like this, the models do look really nice.
43:45 A train treadmill, now I've seen it all
No I haven't, I've got to keep watching!
I dont know why, but i just imagine nezu from mha doing this.
Like he has a super smart arch nemisis who acts like the riddler without the ego. He set several bombs throughout the city that will go off if he doesn't win in two hours.
6:00 That's a weird astrological font. No one uses a loopless leo glyph and that scorpio/virgo glyph is really taking a creative licence...
The ones in the clock box 13:00 are proper. Those two symmetrical symbols are either invented or from something else. They don't turn up in a cursory search of alchemy symbols but there are a lot.
@@Ceruleanst honestly it looks like AI got confuses by the similar Leo and North node glyph/Scorpio and Virgo glyph and just mashed them together.

Yoo i love those kinds of games will definitely play it
I am always fascinated by the hidden story plot. They are just fragments, allowing us to imagine what might have happened.

Cool!!⚙️
Did anyone else get the steam version for PC and get a completely different queen puzzle for the Card Box? I've got a knight with an axe that you have to avoid while going from a gold starting ring to another gold ending ring. But everything I see online has this other one.
18:22-19:28 gives me some serious "Monument Valley" vibes
imagine the main character making a lockpicking lawyer type youtube channel where they unlock the boxes and review them
I love puzzle games! 🤩
what a great game!!!! highly entertaining, really cool concept and story 👍
Love the art style
Do you know why I like the video game ones… because he can’t force things open or spin things to open in ways they aren’t supposed too..
I can't get enough of this game's aesthetics.
Huh, the ladybug puzzle at 18:20 looks really similar to Monument Valley - it even has the same retractable crank-handle in the part with the rotating stairs!
I LOVED The Room series. This looks really good as well!
Yo imagine if there was a secret level on this game and the secret level box is literally just an X BOX.
XBOX?
@@dianavasile6949 yes
I really like the concept and execution of this, however the fact you can't wind up the guy at 11:15 and make him do a little jig is highly disappointing.
Amazing game and play. ty !
The sound design in this game is simply sublime
Nicely designed puzzels!
Guillermo del Toro would love this game.
Thank you for showing me this game!
This might be the 1# best puzzle game I've ever seen.😮😮😮 Keep going Alpha.
Hey it's ya boy, Master Thief Ambrose Trousseau back with another unboxing video! What we have today is a box most curious.
feels like a milestone that The Room was an original mobile game that pretty much defined its own subgenre and now it's seeing more games populating it even in other platforms
30 seconds in and I already went shopping on Steam XD That's a new record XD
Just two boxes in and the animators going hard on the details.
I in particular liked the kraken, norse and egyptian puzzles.
ough, the nostalgia from the room games is beautiful
nostalgia of The Room is real!!!
I didn't expect to find this video interesting, but I actually did! The graphics look amazing, and the puzzles are intricate and interesting, while also not being so frustrating that you want to quit and lose interest
This aesthetic reminds me a lot about the PC game Mist. 🥰
cool puzzles
Reminds me of that browser game "Synapsis", it was quite inspiring indeed.
this reminds me so much of the old safecracker game
This has serious 'The Room' energy.
I honestly love that puzzle game
Am I the only one getting strong Animusic vibes from this? Something about the graphics and all the tiny moving clockwork parts really reminds me of it.
What a gorgeous looking game❤

I'll for sure be picking this up, it looks great!
Uh...if the robot was deactivated...how she could send that letter with the key to MC?
contingency plan she sent it before accepting her creator's adjustment ruse since she can predict the future

Found it also is on google play... will be soon.

Aww, you didn't read the second note during the Kraken Box! I was wondering what it contains...
Hi! The card on top of the box? That's the same one as before, it's just moved because the box raised. :)
