Disc Room isn't just about staying alive inside arcade deathtraps

Disc Room is an action-survival game from a crew of talented indie developers, and for me, that would've been enough – but there's also a deeper layer to uncover. It's not just a bunch of rooms.

This narrated trailer is our best look yet at Disc Room, one that goes beyond the surface-level to show the game's secret sauce. I like the sound of obtuse puzzles and brainy exploration in an otherwise straightforward arcade game. It's a simple concept, but there's a chance to subvert expectations.

The map screen makes me hopeful. We'll see how it turns out for PC and Switch on October 22.
