Awake. Head throbbing. Vision blurry. The voices say to survive. 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. A Dark Room is an experience, and a story, unlike any other. The New Yorker "You can begin to see a structure emerge from the fragments, but where that structure will lead you remains impossible to predict, and so the compulsion to keep pressing little word buttons grows stronger." The New York Times "I discovered one of the rarest things in the brash, frenetic medium of video games: a quiet, minimalist production that says more by saying less. It’s refreshing." Slate Magazine "A simple, text-based game that will make you question your own humanity."
