Room 310: The Awakening (2024)
A downloadable game
Immerse yourself in an exciting retro adventure and soon join Sandra Garland in her brave quest to unravel the mystery behind her dear friend Ariatna’s disappearance and the dark secrets surrounding the New Dawn student residence.
You’ll solve puzzles, meticulously explore captivating rooms, and uncover hidden secrets in this journey full of intrigue and nostalgia. For all adventure lovers, this game will transport you back to the nostalgia of the '80s and '90s, with the true flavor of games from that era.
The Spanish version of this adventure was proudly awarded third place in the Game of the Year competition organized by Planeta Sinclair and the Load ZX Spectrum Museum in 2022, highlighting its appeal within the retro gaming community.
The game has been developed in Inpaws (by Mastodon) for ZX Spectrum 48k and is provided in a tap format file that can be run on any emulator of the system, as well as a wav file to load it on original hardware.
The program is open to modifications because it surely has some undetected errors. If you encounter any of these errors or inconsistencies, I would appreciate it if you could let me know in the comments so that I can gradually refine the program.
Don't wait any longer—the game is now available!
IMPORTANT: The instructions for loading the game are provided at the time of download. Read them carefully if you're not familiar with ZX Spectrum or Amstrad CPC systems.
Volume I of Sandra Garland's Memoirs has been added, containing the solution to the adventure. You can now download the PDF file!
The version of the game for Amstrad CPM has been added. A disk image file is provided.
This video game is intended for an adult audience.

Currently playing this game... But I get caught by the janitor... Maybe I took too much time. Ouch!
Thank you so much for the support! I hope you enjoy this adventure as well. Keep in mind there's something that might have made the janitor suspicious — it's not the time 😉. Remember, Sandra’s memories might help you out of a tight spot.
I enjoy this adventure. As I wrote my own walkthrough, I think I'll find what I've done wrong. I will :)
Édit: just finish it. The wheels puzzle makes me pull some of my hair... Ouch!
Hi DaRe, great game. When will the next 'day' of the adventure be available
Hi! The continuation of this adventure is Habitación 310: Encuentro, and for now it's only available in Spanish. I hope to translate it into English in the not-too-distant future. Thank you for playing!
Thanks. I hope you do translate it - you have at least one player here and there will be more :)
