A Dark Room

A Dark Room invites you to begin your journey in complete darkness—starting quite literally with keeping a dim fire alive so you don’t freeze or lose your way. Behind this seemingly simple action lies the story of a world devastated by catastrophe, where every line of text builds an atmosphere of survival.

The genre blends strategy with RPG elements: you gather resources, expand your settlement, recruit people, and gradually turn an abandoned hut into a foothold. New opportunities open up step by step—hunting, crafting, construction, and expeditions into unexplored lands filled with both valuable discoveries and deadly threats.

The gameplay relies on a fully text-based interface and minimalist actions, but this simplicity sharpens your focus on what truly matters. Every decision affects the fate of your growing settlement, and every venture into the wilderness becomes a meaningful piece of the narrative. The goal is clear: survive, grow stronger, and uncover the mystery of a world that slowly reveals its true nature.

Because of its entirely text-driven structure and clear sequence of actions (with no graphics), A Dark Room is perfectly suited for blind players, allowing the experience to be fully accessible through screen readers. What awaits you is a slow but tense journey where darkness is not a barrier but an essential part of the experience—and the path to truth lies through planning, exploration, and stepping into the unknown.
