The Room: The Game

The Room: The Game is a 2010 flash game tribute to The Room by Newgrounds founder Tom Fulp. It was released on September 3, with art by JohnnyUtah and music by Chris "Oney" O'Neill. It can be played here.


 * Adaptation Expansion: Not only does it closely follow the film's story, but it fills many of the plot holes, follows up on some previously hanging threads, and even has a more sensible ending..
 * Adventure Game: As in many Web Games, it's a loving homage to early-1990s 16-bit games.
 * Alternative Character Interpretation: In-Universe. In the ending,.
 * Ascended Extra: Remember the nameless "Lisa looks hot tonight" guy from the movie? He is Johnny's boss now.
 * Brain Bleach: As an in-game collectable, no less. There are six scenes that, upon witnessing, will have Johnny remark he wishes he could unsee them. Getting them all nets you an achievement!
 * Bond One-Liner:
 * When Johnny kills the "Bo$$", he then says, "Banking hours are over."
 * He does another after tearing Chris R. apart: "Looks like my bite was worse than his bark."
 * Brown Note: During Johnny's Unstoppable Rage, if you go to the police station, the police will try to stop you. If you click on a police office, you'll do an extremely deep "CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!" which causes the cops' heads to explode.
 * Catch Phrase: "You are our favorite customer," in addition to all the ones from the movie.
 * Character Exaggeration:
 * Played for laughs, where Johnny is not only saying hi hai to his friends, but to inanimate objects such as paintings, TVs and Mark's hot tub. He even has a welcome mat that says, "Oh hai, Johnny!"
 * Denny's apartment is a tiny, dilapidated room plastered with pictures of Lisa, and Mark's apartment is literally called "Mark's Love Shack".
 * Cozy Catastrophe: An earthquake.
 * Curb Stomp Battle:
 * When you're hulked out, you can go to the bank and fight your boss. Normally, Johnny has three options: "Throw Bottle", "Taunt" and "Run". Here he has one option: "Eviscerate".
 * Even more so, Johnny wipes out an entire police department without even TOUCHING them.
 * The Dev Team Thinks of Everything: It is quite amazing how much work they put into this. The final act can be ended in a minute or so by heading upstairs and using the gun only once. Yet if you go out back into the town, Johnny has dialogue for using the gun on virtually anything worth shooting.
 * Death by Adaptation:
 * , apparently
 * can die, although this depends on the player's actions.
 * Easter Egg: Did you find any spoons?
 * At numerous times, you can go into rooms when you aren't supposed to and see weird things happening, like Johnny will comment on how this is something he wishes he could unsee.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: In battle, Mark's special move is "Glamour", where he takes off his shirt and shows off his muscles to distract enemies. Both Chris R and Johnny are susceptible to his manly charms.
 * Extreme Omnivore: You can make sandwiches with drain cleaner, rats and brillo pads. You'll even get a medal for it.
 * Fan Disservice:
 * When Johnny wakes up, you have to see him naked. This is upped to eleven in the ending.
 * Lisa's pixelated boobs. Gah!
 * Gateless Ghetto: There was an earthquake prior to the events of the film, so you can't wander "off set" because there are giant cliffs in the way.
 * Graphics Induced Super Deformed
 * Gonk: Johnny's sprite looks like a Neanderthal.
 * Guns Are Worthless: Or at least as deadly as water bottles and footballs.
 * Inexplicably Identical Individuals: The clerks and their doggies.
 * Infant Immortality: The animal version. Just try to kill the dog.


 * It Came From the Fridge: There is a minigame where Johnny can mix and match ingredients on the sandwiches he made for his friends, which they never ate. Leaving the sandwiches on the counter turns them into this overnight.
 * Memetic Sex God: Mark, in-universe. Very much so.
 * Mind Over Matter: When the hulked-out Johnny attacks the police barricade, he'll mentally lift up a police car and crush one of the officers underneath it.
 * Parody Sue: The game provides a very clear parody of Johnny's Mary Sue nature in the film, by turning it Up to Eleven.
 * Shout-Out:
 * When Johnny confronts the bank manager after hulking up, Johnny tells him that he is going to take him to the bank... the blood bank.
 * Before confronting the Boss, he says, "But enough talk, have at you!"
 * Shower of Angst: You can take one when Johnny is hulked out.
 * Spared by the Adaptation:.
 * The Stinger:
 * Techno Remix: of the Ear Worm elevator music soundtrack that plays throughout the movie, transformed into a Nintendo 64-Pokemon-ish Battle Theme!!
 * Theme Music Power-Up: During the battle.
 * Unstoppable Rage: Johnny's hissy fit from the film is rendered as him.
 * Video Game Cruelty Potential
 * Voice Grunting: During some parts of the dialogue, you can hear Johnny going "ha ha ha". His chicken impression is preserved as well, and various lines (including "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!") have the appropriate clip from the movie pop up as opposed to a dialogue box.
