About A Dark Room
A Dark Room starts with a cold room and a single fire, and slowly grows into something much bigger. Gather wood, build huts, bring in villagers and put them to work, then venture out into a dangerous world beyond the village. A minimalist text adventure that keeps revealing new layers the longer you play.
How to play
Click the buttons to act: light the fire, gather wood, build and trade. Assign villagers to jobs to automate your village. Out in the world, move with the arrow keys or WASD, or swipe on a touch screen. Your progress saves automatically.
