It’s up to you to investigate and uncover the mysterious clues, but avoid the wrath of the poltergeists that wander the halls, and try to find a way to restore peace to Noriko’s restless spirit before it’s too late.

What others are saying

The Haunting of Noriko is a Japanese-style horror room with no live actor. Reviewers on Morty, the Escape the Roomers blog and Google reviewers describe it as an older game that still holds up.

Morty reviewers praise the creepy atmosphere, a handful of fun jump scares, the scale of the multilevel set and some unique surprises, and several call it a great introduction to scarier rooms. Escape the Roomers found the set phenomenal and enjoyed the jump scares, and Google reviewers single it out as a must-try.

The weak point is the puzzles. Morty reviewers say they feel disconnected from the story and don’t always flow well, and some found having access to everything at once overwhelming. Escape the Roomers felt an audio-based puzzle was hit or miss and that one puzzle came down to guessing.
