I couldn't take much more than the few minutes I played. The characters and dialogue were so unbeleivable it was almost comical. One guy goes from trying to shoot me to introducing himself with a smile and one woman goes from "How may I help you?" to talking about seeing a friend's throat ripped out. And who would say "Oh where are my manners? Let me introduce myself." When there's some sort of deadly terror just beyond the door? I couldn't bear the terrible dialogue one minute more.

Well this is slow, boring, and has minimal interaction from the player (more like watching a very slow TV episode)

Room 42, developed and published by Akumu Games, is a compact but carefully structured indie horror adventure that places narrative tension and character interaction at the forefront of its design. Built using a traditional RPG Maker framework, the game embraces its technical simplicity and instead focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and psychological unease. The premise immediately establishes a sense of disorientation and confinement: the protagonist awakens in a locked room alongside five strangers, while reports of a horrifying outbreak filter in from beyond the walls. From the beginning, the game makes it clear that survival will depend less on reflexes and combat prowess and more on observation, decision-making, and understanding the people trapped beside you. The gameplay experience is primarily driven by exploration and dialogue. Players move through a limited set of environments, interacting with objects, examining surroundings, and engaging in conversations that slowly reveal both the broader situation and the personal histories of the other characters. Puzzles are present but restrained, designed to support narrative progression rather than interrupt it. These interactions …

Pretty good mystery/horror game. Consist of two main routes, each of them containing a part of the story necessary to understand what's going on. I was expecting some grand finale, aka true ending 3rd route but sadly it doesnt have that. Not that it matters too much, the game is perfectly fine and enjoyable as is.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.
