For MMORPG players, for Diablo fans, and for lovers of shooters like ‘Escape from Tarkov’ or ‘Resident Evil 4’, one skill is essential: How to perfectly arrange the inventory? A new Steam game ‘Save Room’ trains this ability with a kind of ‘Inventory Tetris’: The game currently costs only €1.27. MyMMO author Schuhmann has tested it for you and joins the 93% positive reviews on Steam.
What kind of game is this?
- ‘Save Room’ is a puzzle game where you must fit items known from shooters into an inventory across 40 levels: Various firearms and ammunition need to be placed perfectly in the limited and sometimes absurdly shaped inventory (via Steam)
- You control the game using a keyboard or controller, grabbing, rotating, and placing items. Some items, however, are ‘fixed’, cannot be rotated, and others are just absurdly unwieldy, ensuring the puzzle solutions are not too easy.
- The game costs a whopping €1.59 – it is currently 20% off. You can grab it for €1.27 on Steam.
And there is always too little space in the inventory
What is the gag of the game? The gag is that games like Diablo 3 or Escape from Tarkov have been annoying us from the very beginning with the fact that
- there is basically too little space in the inventory
- some items are so bulky that there would actually still be space in the inventory, but only if you arrange all other items ‘perfectly’ so that not a centimeter of space remains in the backpack and also the x-th healing potion fits perfectly
With this slight ironic torment, the puzzler from Fractal Projects plays. Especially players of ‘Resident Evil 4’ from 2005 see in the game a homage to the horror shooter from Capcom. But players from Diablo 3 should also feel at home right away and notice this slight scratching at the back of their heads, where experienced loot players recognize the call to arrange the inventory perfectly right away.
‘Loving homage to Resident Evil 4’
What do users say? With 93% positive reviews, the game is well received on Steam:
- A passionate player says, Save Room perfectly emulates the aesthetics and mechanics of the inventory from Resident Evil 4
- Another Steam user comments: A fun game to satisfy the craving for ‘inventory organization’ and a welcome dose of nostalgia
The only criticisms are that the game is rather short with 40 levels and that mouse support is lacking. It is a game solely for keyboard or controller.
Based on playtime, it can be said that most users probably spend about 2 to 3 hours with the puzzler before writing their critique on Steam – and likely either finished the game or closed it out of frustration.
Some MMO players develop an obsession with ‘order in the inventory.’
This is behind it: For some MMO players, it is almost an obsession to arrange the inventory ‘perfectly’. Some spend hours getting into it.
There are even cases of people passionately tidying up their friends’ inventories. For such people, ‘Save Room’ seems tailor-made. For others, it is an opportunity to put their skills in ‘Inventory Tetris’ to the test.
