A Dark Room App Reviews

Amazing game I first played as a kid and continue to come back to every now and then!

It is difficult to comprehend how a text-based game could induce such a profound state of stress in me.

The experience such a simple game can bring to you just by using a text engine feels almost unreal to me. Definitely recommend playing through the game at least once!

This was such a fun game. I stumbled upon it while searching out a similar game from my childhood (that I absolutely could not remember the name of; only that it was on a Windows 98 game disc) I’m actually kind of sad that I got through it so quickly, but definitely would play it again to see if I got a different experience. Thank you!

Totally worth it.

I found myself missing out on meals and going hungry because I was so focused on making sure my villagers had food and didn’t go hungry. I’m constantly getting wood from how great this game is. Hard as a rock rn. Basically I’m a villager now too.

I’ve never played such an immersive adventure game with such minimalistic graphics. Love it

Wow, I was emersed and enthralled the whole experience. I started and didn’t stop once until I finished the game. This was my favorite experience on my phone I have had in 11 years, since my first iPod. Hands down must experience.

Honestly the best game on iPhone. I played this years ago and still remember it and redownload it and play feverishly until completing the storyline. It’s so incredibly well done giving you bits of information that pull you in and progress the overarching story. A true gift that allows us to live in the moment and play with survival, exploration, resource allocation, curiosity, adventure, and the excitement of the unknown. It’s like finding a brilliant book that you can’t put down.

Oldie but a goodie

Great fun. Loved the simplicity and the exploration. Finished it twice. Just has the right hook to keep you playing a little longer.

I love how accessible it is, and I love how real it feels. This is nonstop action and adventure.

Game has multiple endings. Worth the money and never any ads

Such a great game. I was captivated from the start.

Love this game! Used to play it online when I was younger; just bought the mobile version and finished the game. Doing it over for a second time. Super excited to play Ensign, and even try Gridland and A Noble Circle among some others I’ve heard. Thanks so much, we really needed this!!

What more is there to say?

I remember playing the browser version of this game several years ago, and being intrigued by finding it in the App Store. It might seem strange to pay for a game you’d played through for free but for the price, why not? The mobile game is a sufficient upgrade and worth the price a few times over. The simple, unique experience is something I find myself going back and reliving every so often. If you’ve never tried the game before and happen upon this, give it a shot, just try to be patient in th

Absolutely loved it in all of its simplicity.

Simple interface yet enchanting gameplay.

I have loved this game for years. Always come back to it.

This game is fantastic. It should be way more popular than it is

Tried to find a portal for a feature request but in A Dusty Path, would it be much effort to add a “Take All” button next to the existing “Take” button? I’m finding it cumbersome to tap “take” x times when I farm items in mines or outposts. Particularly when attempting the no hut challenge. Thanks!

Mysterious and spooky, a fun time all around!

A Dark Room is an extremely unique game that is difficult to explain. But, I promise you will love the experience. I’ve played this game over and over again for years. That first play through hasn’t ever been reached in a mobile game, and very seldom on console or pc.

Really loved my time with this game!

amazing experience and gameplay. always come back to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in A Dark Room, and for 2 bucks it’s absolutely worth your time and money. It’s great for short play sessions, maybe on a break or a longer session on a plane or train. The game can feel tense at times, especially when managing resources, so dont expect an idle game. My only issue is that A Dark Room constantly feels like it’s trying to get its message across, but it’s often too vague to do so.

The game is simply amazing - to all those people out there who left a 1 star review play the game for at least 5 minutes

This is a unique experience more than a game for me. I really enjoyed experiencing it, I didn’t always enjoy playing it. I had never played an idle game before and had a really hard time learning how the game worked but eventually I noticed and googled things that really made the game more fun. Understanding traversing the map and what each letter meant and that the compass was helping lead me through the game in a linear progression helped. Also learning that dying can actually be good also he

I love this game. I’ve played through it a few times over the years both with and without building huts. The challenge and strategy is fun. It’s very addicting and causes a lot of self-reflecting. I wish there were more creative and thoughtful games like this on the App Store. Thank you for making this game Amir

I come back to a dark every few years. It remains powerful and thought provoking each play through. A game everyone should play.

Every year or so I re-download this game just cuz the story is so good. Cheers to the developers of both versions. I see the love y’all put in.

My imagination runs wild in this game. I come back to it about once a year and I just love the minimalist style. I picture the ruined landscape, and the desperate people and animals. I feel like I’m playing a novel. I love this game so much.

I originally played this game in a browser many years ago, forgot about it, and rediscovered it on mobile. It hit me emotionally in ways I did not expect, and am on my second play through of what will be many. Thank you for this game! I’d recommend it to anyone.

It doesn’t require the internet to play and is a complete game in itself. Very interesting and as new information comes to light you realize the broader story.

I’ve played this game before, a long time ago. I beat it once but didn’t take time to enjoy the ending. Today after about 3.5 hours of casual gameplay over 3 days I beat it for the 2nd time. Taking time to listen to the developers words is great. Incredible game. Looking forward to starting the ensign. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Thank you for this experience. Some people will never know the time & work that goes into creating such an addictive game in this format. I sure

One of, if not my favorite iOS game. The mystery, the gameplay, and story, it’s all awesome. Seriously download this game right now.

I have loved this game for a long time and every time I play it I fall back in love. Thank you to the creators and good luck future players!

I highly recommend the prequel too

Great game for chilling when you have to wait at work. Story is very good too, which surprised me

Amazing. Stick with it because it becomes absolutely addicting.

At first, the game didn't seem to be going anywhere, but as it progressed, it captured the imagination and demanded my full attention to see what would happen next. A Dark Room is definitely one of my favorite story game apps. I just wish the producers had made more! Update: They made more!

It’s an amazing game as soon as you get past the start

Why did updating to this latest version remove my save data ?!??
