A psychological evaluation of sorts, The Room is an experiment to get into the minds of various different characters, with different beliefs, personalities, and struggles. Ten subjects are chosen at random and asked to be a part of an experiment in the human psyche.

A short story of sorts. *(Though not explicitly written, contains mentions of strong sexual or violent themes, such as sexual abuse or domestic violence.)
