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.
Adapted especially for steam, you can play with physical controls or the touch screen; exclusive to this version of the game is an enhanced user interface, modding capabilities, and additional developer commentary.
A Dark Room is an experience, and a story, unlike any other.
Link added to The Ensign (pre-sequel to A Dark Room). Let me know if you like the visuals of ADR or TE more and I'll make sure both games get the same visuals. For The Ensign, I went with cleaner visuals as opposed to the retro aesthetic of ADR.
Minor bug fix.
If you are having issues launching the app on the Steam Deck, go to Settings for the game -> Compatibility -> Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool -> Select Proton 8.0-4.
Notes from the previous release:
- Refinement of the UI.
- Ability to control volume through settings.
- Minor pacing/balancing updates.
- Less obtrusive notification of developer commentary.
Hope you enjoy :-)
When I first released on Steam, I promised that commentary exclusive to the Steam release would be.
That commentary has now been added :-)
I've also made several quality-of-life updates (notably, the ability to toggle fullscreen mode via the pause menu).
