internet browser IOS iPhone Nintendo Switch Android PC Windows

A Dark Room is a unique city-building RPG game that immerses you in a mysterious world with no instructions. You must light a fire and build structures, leading to RPG-like gameplay with mini-dungeons, battles and resource collection. The graphics and sound are minimalistic, but the gameplay is unpredictable and enjoyable. This game is perfect for fans of off-beat RPGs, experience-driven games or anyone looking for something different from the norm. However, the lack of sound and graphics may be a downside for some players.


What we like:
  • Unique gameplay
  • Engaging RPG elements
  • Mysterious story
  • Unpredictable gameplay
  • Incentives for multiple runs
What could be improved:
  • Slow-paced at times
  • Lack of graphics
  • Lack of sound
  • Can be a laborious experience
  • Gameplay can be a drag
