Room escape games break free from browsers

For so long, we've begged for adventure games, and now we're getting them all at once. A suite of browser-based adventure games from creator Toshiyuki Takagi is getting ported to the DS courtesy of Success. His Crimson Room, Veridian Room, Blue Chamber, and White Chamber (all playable here) are all based on the concept of searching a mysterious locked room for a means of escape.

The presentation on the DS appears identical, except that the inventory has been moved to the top screen, and arrows placed on the periphery of the bottom screen to allow touch screen-based movement throughout the rooms.

The collection will be part of Success's Superlite 2500 series, which means, naturally, that it'll retail for 2500 yen ($21). Maybe a bit pricey for what are essentially free games (they use some inscrutable honor-system shareware model), but we wouldn't mind having something like this on the go. And we love the trend of interesting indie games getting console releases.
