Players take on the role of Inspector Jean-Jacques Gordot, who wakes up in a locked, red-walled room on a ship. Mechanics:

In the early 2000s, before the explosion of smartphone apps, before The Room series on iOS, and long before real-life escape rooms became a multi-billion dollar industry, there was a single, haunting digital space. A red-walled room. A CD case. A mysterious note. And a dance of shadows.

It was called Crimson Room .

Unlike Viridian and Blue , which were distinct new settings, Decade directly revisits and expands the original location. It also contains Easter eggs referencing Takagi’s later, darker game The White Chamber (unreleased prototype, 2010).

in 2016 marked a significant return to the roots of the escape-the-room genre. Serving as a 3D re-imagining of the iconic 2004 Flash game Crimson Room , this title bridges the gap between early 2000s browser gaming and modern point-and-click adventures. Retaining the Crimson Mystery

Today, the official Crimson Room game is available on Steam as part of the Crimson Room: Reverse collection (2020), which adds new endings and modernized controls. But the "decade" we remember—2004 to 2014—is frozen in amber.
