ABOUT US:

The Room: Old Sins is OUT NOW on the Google Play Store! - goo.gl/5gT7a9

The Android Beta for The Room: Old Sins is live!

There are limited testing spaces available, with places allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. More spaces are likely to become available later in the week.

To take part in the Beta test you do have to pay for the game - doing so will give you full access to the game when it's released on April 19th.

We’ve been through QA and are pretty sure the game is solid, but we need to test on a wider range of devices. Certain devices might experience crashes, graphical corruption or slow performance – those are the things we really want to hear about!

We’ll do some updates to solve problems as they come in, although some fixes might not be available until the game launches on April 19th.

We’re excited to announce that after a lot of hard work, The Room: Old Sins will be available to download on Android devices from Thursday 19th April! Pre-registration and Beta test information will be announced as soon as we have confirmed dates, so keep a keen eye on our social media pages over the coming weeks!

We genuinely can’t wait for you to get your hands on Old Sins! A massive thank you goes out to our Android fans for staying patient and supportive throughout the final weeks of development.
