Withering Rooms Reviews
Withering Rooms pays homage to survival horror classics like Clock Tower while injecting fresh roguelike RPG elements to create one of the most unique indie horror games we've ever played.
A good mix of ideas that work well for the most part, although there are some drawbacks that can complicate the lives of certain players. Ideal for fans of classic survival horror, even 16-bit.

While the combat is clunky and systems aren't explained as well as they should be, Withering Rooms is a great entry into the horror genre.
In the end, Withering Rooms’ somewhat clunky and graceless combat is not enough to seriously detract from what it does well. Withering Rooms looks unlike any recent game in the genre. Its setting is haunting and haunted and its blend of roguelike, puzzle, and action mechanics guarantees variety. It’s a compelling choice for fans of action games with more than a dash of horror.
A fantastic combination of horror, combat and puzzle solving elements, Withering Rooms is one nightmare that you may not wish to wake from!
Part roguelike, part horror, part puzzle adventure, we've not played anything quite like Withering Rooms before. It's a little scrappy, and we wish combat was better, but there's something about it that will keep us coming back.
Withering Rooms isn’t for the faint of heart, but for those who persevere, a world of rewarding challenges, twisted horrors, and deep satisfying progression awaits.
Mostyn House is not for the faint of heart, those braving the corridors of this nightmare will find a fun yet disturbing time, just be prepared to swap between difficulties in some situations.
If one excludes the fact that in some places the game shoots itself in the foot, wanting to show that it can give something more, we are talking about a worthy game that will arouse interest.

Withering Rooms feels incredibly nostalgic and yet does plenty of new things, making for a horror game that utterly stands out. Its creativity, downright amazing writing, and incredible characters will suck you in, and the tense, ever-present horror of the Dream will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Withering Rooms provides a great horror RPG experience with its gameplay. You never stop being a fragile girl trying to leave a horrible dream. But the tools to fight back give you courage and let you battle the undead. Coming up with strategies is genuinely rewarding and adds variety to the combat. Learning from your mistakes and making death painful forces you to pay attention. The story isn't as strong as it could be and some aspects could use better explanations. However, Withering Rooms is not a horror experience you want to miss if you've been looking for a challenge.
