A Dark Room is a minimalist text-based adventure that begins in complete darkness with a single command: light the fire. From there, the game unfolds slowly and mysteriously. You start by keeping the fire alive, then begin gathering resources like wood and supplies. Soon, strangers arrive, and the small room grows into a village filled with workers, hunters, and builders. Every choice pushes the story forward as the world outside is revealed piece by piece.
What begins as a simple survival loop evolves into exploration, trade, and dangerous expeditions beyond the safety of your camp. The narrative is deliberately cryptic, encouraging you to piece together fragments of lore while balancing survival and expansion. The challenge lies in patience and strategy — deciding how to allocate resources, when to venture into the unknown, and how to manage those who depend on you. Mysterious, unsettling, and deceptively simple, A Dark Room on Silvergames.com slowly transforms from a small spark into something far larger and more haunting. Much fun!
