• I'm an ex room owner and pretty much spend my time reviewing rooms now. I was excited to try my first miniature room, but this experience left me baffled. Onyx Tower feels like it could have been a 5-star room, but they gave up in alpha.
  
  Many puzzles and the entirety of the narrative depend on audio clips-- but the music isn't calibrated to the clips, with the result that we simply missed most of it. I would give another star if the music were simply quieter, or softened when the narrator spoke. The narrative was better than most rooms I've been through, but the puzzles/props didn't back it up-- there are prop weapons and prop dragons, but nothing even metaphorical for fighting/slaying a dragon. I would give another star if they just rearranged the existing puzzles to follow the narrative. And then there are only two real inductive puzzles-- the room is short, but there needed to be at least one more to get 5 stars.
  
  Very strange experience. I can't recommend the room today, but it seems like a bare minimum of effort would take it to a top ten experience.
