We’re all agreed that Escape The Room games are great, now that the dissenters have been killed. Sagrario’s Room is one of the finest I’ve played, and you should too. It’s also one of the toughest, but helpfully, the most rewarding. A very barren room sports a plastic chair, screwed to the floor and blocking the handle-less door, and a briefcase on the floor against the opposite wall. Some panels on the wall hide further secrets, with many more hidden details concealed throughout. The challenge, as ever, is to escape the room.
It’s not flawless. In fact, it falls into the most common trap of ETRs – finding the pixel. There’s a couple of angles it’s hard to find, and at the start there are a few too many found objects that don’t let you progress any further. The number of times I thought, “Ooh, okay, so now what can I do with this?” to find out it was nothing until I’d done a bunch more, were too often near the start. However, once you’ve all the items and locations spotted, solving the puzzles is often exquisite. I’m not too proud to deny using the walkthrough to find a couple of bits of hidden stuff I’d not spotted, and to get the radio open. But I’m equally bubbling with pride that I solved the three key puzzles with my own damned brain. One is especially convoluted and satisfying to have pieced together.
Really smart stuff, is slightly too obscure in places. Found via IndieGames. Please to enjoy

The codes you receive are not the codes you need to enter. They need to be scrambled first.
Given that, I thought the repetition of codes was deliberate hint to make player realize things were made even more complicated than it’d initially appear.
I didn’t have to do any scrambling the first time I beat it…
Also, Radiant, don’t worry, I know. Know that you’re uber-jealous of my skillz.
I think he’s referring to the “good luck” keyed scrambling. Maybe you missed that but got lucky the first time? I’d be surprised if the game screwed up and gave you a broken code.
(Or perhaps I’m just jealous, it took me like 2 or 3 hours to finish it.) (with a bit of walkthrough help.)
No no, I got the whole GO OD LU CK thing. It’s not so much the order that I’d be pressing the buttons in, just simply that I’d have to press the same button twice.
This was the code I got on the piece of paper:
1. c4
2. d2
3. a2
4. b3
Then the other codes I got:
GO. b3
OD. c2
LU. c3
CK. a2
Which means the order is:
1. c4
2. d2
3. a2
4. b3
5. b3
6. c2
7. c3
8. a2
Yes, you did miss it. You must’ve just gotten lucky as hell the first time through. Try shining the blacklight on that piece of paper that says “good luck”. That tells you how to rearrange things. (the order you press the buttons doesn’t matter anyway.)
Weird! I have no idea how I missed that yet completed it the first time round (there’s the proof that I didn’t use a walkthrough anyway, heh).
I have now completed it a second time without fluking the last puzzle. Go me!
Fuck this puzzle :x
I’ve spent 2 hours trying to do this damn thing, about 1 hour on the hidden panel and I still can’t get it to work. DIE WITH FIRE.
The Good Luck paper puzzle doesn’t make sense. It links the second O with the C, which puts two letters together (You’re given GO, OD, LU, and CK together with each representing a letter + number set). O and C together results in two letters together.
I just used the other seven clues and then used process of elimination for the missing one.
Excellent. A high quality escape, with not too much pixel hunting.
