God this game is good. Criminally underrated. Saw Jerma play it, turned it off to buy it. I hope others do the same! If you're unsure, the demo was crazy long. - Story + world building SO good - Combat feels great + good enemy variation - Lots of build variability - Unique - Nice mix of genres while never being overwhelming one or the other either - The only game to get me to utilize switching builds mid fight …

Here is a Spoiler-Free critical review of Withering Rooms. Withering Rooms is a heavily atmospheric, and surprisingly well thought out game with layers to both its gameplay and its narrative that go much deeper than its 2.5D indie horror visual style initially lets on. It is not a perfect game, suffering from a slightly awkward game loop, an opaque level/stat system and the occasional technical bug. But the more …

I kept waiting until I had completed everything before writing a review, but I'm sick of not having my opinion out there. I will expand this later, but in short: this is an amazing, underrated game from a solo dev and I think it is worth every dollar, full price. One of my favorite games of all time and not to be missed. Great plot, gameplay, music, everything 10/10

A haunted mansion where gothic horror, roguelite progression, and action RPG combat collide.

Game is just so good it's hard to explain with words. The vibes are just great and the audio design is crazy too. Characters and story are well put together and the world design goes so hard. This game was my game of the year when I played it (And I played the hell out of Black Myth WuKong too), and is still my favorite single player game out there. I enjoyed playing this game more than I can say. The combat has …

Players who liked Withering Rooms talk about atmosphere and world design are superb; those who didn't talk about combat can be janky and clunky. Which matters more to you?

positive · AI labelView post →I’ve been playing Withering Rooms and it’s soooo good. Like a side scrolling dark souls game but with lots more women/witches
positive · AI labelView post →Withering Rooms is a REALLY interesting game. Like... what if the original Clock Tower was also a Souls-like and roguelite? Reductive, but it works Moody side-scrolling survival horror with stealth, but you're encouraged to push your luck a lot and get increasingly aggressive as you explore deeper.
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway, Withering Rooms, very good game, you should play it. Little bit of jank to get used to, but it is a small price to pay.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →29: Withering Realms - Followup to the undersold Withering Rooms. A hack n' slash action-RPG set in a very haunted world, starring a modular puppet-warrior and a ghost girl. The previous game was a hybrid of 2D action RPG, survival horror and roguelite. This one's more open-world and overhead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have already been mentioned, and honestly there aren't going to be any real better examples than those two. They are the poster children for patient gaming for me. *My* favourite patient game is probably [Withering Rooms](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2006140/Withering_Rooms/), which benefitted a lot from a long Early Access period. With the sequel entering early access yesterday it's the perfect time to check it out!
positive · AI labelView post →I'll throw in another one, why not. [Withering Rooms](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2006140/Withering_Rooms/) is one of my absolute favorite games I've played this year. It's an action/light horror roguelike that ends up being a very unique experience despite clear inspiration from games like Silent Hill and Dark Souls. For a solo developer game (who even wrote the wonderful music himself) it's a seriously impressive game, especially with the amount of small QOL touches. I thought the…
positive · AI labelView post →I 100%'ed Withering Rooms about a month ago now, and I still can't stop thinking about it. I loved the world, I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the art style. Most of all, I think, I loved how unashamedly weird it was from start to finish. This is one of those titles that simply doesn't get made anymore without the uncompromising vision of a solo developer who doesn't particularly care about mass appeal. If you can get past the "jank" (a fair bit of which seems to be an…

I really did not think this would ever be possible, it's all thanks to everyone that supported Withering Rooms. Will be sharing more details about this new adventure over the next few weeks - stay tuned!
neutral · AI labelView post →20-minute Analysis on Withering Rooms, a strange combination of Roguelite and Survival Horror. The game came out recently and I was taken aback by how much content and effort went into it. Alot of videos out for this game atm seem to be mostly reviews, so I thought it would be far more interesting to break the game down for ppl who might want to play it.
neutral · AI labelView post →The developer wrote [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2006140/discussions/0/3395175706743661215/#c3395175706746103474]"Withering Rooms rewards caution and adapting your playstyle to the situation. While it has action elements, this is not an action game! " Nonsense. There is enough combat to say Withering Rooms can be defined as an action game. Read through the developer's veil attempt to re-classify the obvious. Saying; "this is not an action game" the developer is well aware of the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The solo developer of Withering Rooms put so much love and care into this game. Extremely impressive. Each aspect of the game, like combat, progression, story, music, and exploration are done very well. I just read an interview about how much the game is inspired by Welsh folklore. The developer didn't need to go THAT hard into incorporating cool history and folklore into the game, but he did! You can really tell how much love went into the game. I'm currently 4.5 hours in, and finished Chapter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started playing this game called "Withering Rooms" and so far I'm liking it a lot. It's Dark Souls, meets Clock Tower meets Silent Hill with a little bit of Metroidvania...all in a rogue-lite wrapper. It's got a great creepy atmosphere so far and it's tough as nails.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →such a creative, mysterious, and creepy world. a bit jank combat wise, but has so much charm and just oozes the love and care put into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of my favorite indie games now, I saw Jerma play it and instantly fell in love. The ost is amazing, the mood and story are great and there are homages to all of my fav survival horror games from Silent Hill to Rule of Rose there is love in every inch of withering rooms. Playing it multiple times and feeling myself get stronger just *feels* good and if the sequel has more refined combat it could really be something great. To me this is a modern classic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot wait for this game! It goes overlooked, but Withering Rooms and the upcoming Withering Realms are both set in Wales. Realms is looking incredibly creative! Set for Early Access on Steam in Q2 2026. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Started up Withering Rooms last night. I kept hearing about this game, and it's been on my radar. It's a horror action-roguelike. Took me a bit to get the swing of things, but as soon as I did, I sunk so many hours in.

neutral · AI labelView post →A masterpiece, really. The lore, the animations, the atmosphere, the graphics, the mechanics, everything is just brilliant. So many times I had to stop and admire the cleverness of a story beat or a scare or a mechanic. Just when you think you've seen every new thing the game could throw at you, it surprises you again. It's hard to believe this is the work of a single dev. This dev is an absolute madman and he executed his vision for this so well. I don't play horror games. This is the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game until around the second chapter. After that the cracks start showing hard. Chapter 3 balance is a mess. Melee builds basically become useless and the game forces you into spells or ranged if you want to keep progressing. Combat itself is just awful. Most fights boil down to whoever fills the bleed meter or stun-locks the other person first. You’re constantly face-tanking hits while mashing the attack button. Blocking feels like an afterthought that barely matters. It tries to be a…

You play as a young witch who in the beginning is trying to break free from her captors but quickly learn that there are many more people imprisoned in the Asylum. Considering the fact that Withering Rooms was made by ONE developer only, I was very positively suprised by the overall game's quality. Overall phenomenal game, especially considering the teams size. The good + Game starts very simple but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A HIDDEN GEM!!! -I never thought a 2.5D survival-horror like this could have such a large and complex map for exploration and many side quests to do. -there are many weapons, armors and tools throughout the map which you can combine to make a build to your liking. it's really a unique taste for a survival-horror genre. 100/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After having seen this game a couple times on steam, I finally decided to play it after seeing Jerma985 praising it highly on his channel. This game is magical in many ways, initially I was very unpleased with how difficult the beginning of the game felt. Very little health and no resources, poor weapons and brutal enemies with brutal and unforgiving AI, you would not be mistaken in comparing this game to Bloodborn or Lies of P. However, after very little play time, the game really starts to…

positive · AI labelView post →Withering Rooms is a fascinating one, and perfect Halloween material. It's like if Clock Tower was also a roguelike, and a souls-like, and a traditional survival horror game? I love the magic system. The more you use spells, the more warped the world becomes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9kN...

The rpg and roguelite systems are very fun and rewarding, combat isn’t really anything special but you can really customize your approach to it and take the game on in your own way. There’s a lot of different setups to try and mess around with and a ton of different items to use. Very rewarding to explore and figure out puzzles and secrets, often giving nice…

neutral · AI labelView post →I absolutely love this game. I was drawn in when I heard it was a horror roguelite, but it’s honestly so much more than that. The game wears its influences on its sleeve beautifully and the sheer amount of things to do and weapons to try out is vast but not overwhelming. It’s like Silent Hill and the Souls games got thrown into a blender and the result was this overwhelmingly delicious smoothy. Definitely recommend it, I’m honestly amazed this game isn’t more popular.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Withering Rooms is a game that only comes around once in a blue moon. Gameplay While the core gameplay is very simple, I was really surprised by the character build variety in this game. You can play as a magic user, melee fighter, or even a ranged build. The game gives you many different tools to use in which you can further put your own spin on each build archetype. The combat isnt challenging to the point where its punishing, but what it does accomplish well is maintaining a level of…
