Er, yeah. I'm pretty sure they're made by a Japanese guy, but the games themselves are translated into English, also!

Play the Blue Room, Crimson Room, Viridian Room, and White Chamber.
For me, if terms of difficulty(Easy -> Hard)...I'd say:
Crimson Room, Viridian Room, White Chamber, and then Blue Room.
If you need any help (Omigosh!) then like PM me or something. Or post with a spoiler tag!
Blue is short, but insanely tricky, which is why it's the most difficult.

Pretty neat, I like the art style and simplicity of things (I played Crimson room).
I lack patience and eventually gave up on Crimson room :(

Aw, you couldn't do it, Walrii? Try harder!
Crimson room is pretty hard, but it's still the easiest >> It's hard to find everything 'cause they don't exactly tell you what you can and what you can't do.
Neat find, BT. It reminds me a bit of Myst or other point and click adventure games, except from what little I played there's a lot more puzzle than story aspect. If I can find some time later, I'll try to play it in more depth.

Sim: Myst? Never heard of it. It's probably made similarily to a point and click adventure, but you're just stuck in a room and trying to find your way out.
None of the rooms really have any storyline, but Viridian Room has a sort of storyline. All of them are pretty much just puzzles. Hope you have fun and can beat it :P

If this is what I remember - I haven't, as yet, went and tried these - I've played Crimson Room before. Of course, I remember it being called "Red Room," and I don't remember it being completely translated at that time, but I remember having a lot of fun... and giving up eventually.
Edit: Yeah, it's the same one... beat it this time.

Yea, I've played this a looonnngg time ago and beat it, after getting stuck on one part and then googling the solution, I thought the solution was rather moronic though.
BT has never heard of Myst? He must be joking. I think Myst was the first game to ever really gain widespread non-computer-user interest in a computer game.
Wikipedia:
Myst has sold over 6 million copies and held the title of best-selling computer game of all time throughout much of the 1990s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s) before being overtaken by The Sims (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims) . . . At the time, this game was one of the reasons why many people would purchase a computer with a CD-ROM drive included and in fact, this game and The 7th Guest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7th_Guest) were both responsible for the sudden boom in the popularity of the drives
Congrats to everyone who beat the game ;)
