About A Dark Room
A minimalist text adventure that begins with a cold room and a fire. Gather resources, develop a settlement and gradually explore a changing world. This adapted edition has no promotional events or advertising.
A useful starting tip
Keep the fire going and read the newest messages. More actions unlock over time, so give the opening scene a moment to develop.
How to play
Click light fire, then stoke fire when it becomes available. Read the event log and use new actions as they appear. Progress saves in this browser; the save menu can export a backup.
Having trouble?
The game runs inside this page. Click inside it before using keyboard controls. Use Full screen for more space, Reload to retry, or Close game to stop the game. Rotate a phone to landscape if controls feel small.
