Gamedec vs The Room 3
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
The Room 3
The Room 3 is the second highly acclaimed sequel to an highly acclaimed puzzle adventure game series. This time around, the game sets you in a remote island that is filled with trials devised by the sadistic and mysterious figure known as "The Craftsman". Like the previous games, you'll need to figure out how to solve the game's many puzzles by examining and fixing various artifacts and devices. The game now has better hints, cloud saving and alternate endings. You are given an eyepiece to magnify the smaller parts of the puzzle as well.The Room 3 is perhaps the best game in the series yet and if the developers are working on another sequel, they have an incredibly high bar to reach. That said, it's best if you start with the first two games first, especially if you actually care about the storyline.
