That pulley lever at the start took almost 3 minutes to raise,.. definitely does not need to take so long,.

The touch controls of navigating in 3D can be difficult at times.
Con Should be free
Con Ends abruptly
The Room is relatively short. Experienced players will be able to beat it in less than two hours. And it ends abruptly. Luckily there is a sequel.
