"A quiet, minimalist production that says more by saying less."
New York Times
"You can begin to see a structure emerge... but where that structure will lead you remains impossible to predict."
The New Yorker
A Dark Room is an innovative text-based adventure that harkens back to the magic of Zork, adding a modern spin on a classic genre and time in gaming.
It challenges the player’s perceptions, actions and imagination. Visually clean, A Dark Room presents text and cues with limited visual flourishes, but the experience that takes shape is full of depth and environmental storytelling. Audio is also important, portraying a dark world that the player can only imagine.
It is a game that draws players in, allowing them to perceive the intriguing world in their own way. What starts as a dark room with limited interactive options evolves into a complex story and resource management challenge.
Adapted specifically for desktop (mouse and game pads are supported); exclusive to this version of the game is an enhanced user interface, modding capabilities, and additional developer commentary.
A Dark Room is an experience, and a story, unlike any other.
