Was my favorite. Could play it for hours. New layout has cart wood and check traps buttons annoyingly close and shoved in corner. Seemingly they wanted to expand middle area info. I don’t know how it could be possible, but these layout changes have shifted this from a game I would play back to back to back— to a game I can’t force myself to get through one time. Seriously, I go back to it and think maybe I just haven’t given it a chance. But having the buttons you most need to tap so close and or so high up, makes it feel like a tedious clerical task instead of an intuitive journey. And I love this game. Want to contact programers and ask them to please change it back to the original. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with hope that they might have changed it back, but no luck. Dear Programmers: the past layout was perfect. Your game was brilliant. Please restore it. Thank you.

The only reason I gave this game 4 instead of 5 stars was due to the lack of any visual/audible stimulation outside of words, symbols, and lettering, which I know was the point of the game, but I personally, would have gotten much more satisfaction with some brief, but additional sounds and visuals.

With that said, the developers did an outstanding job creating this world using the simplest of artistic concepts to drive home the ultimate vision and goal they had in mind for this game- to stimulate the mind and create an in-depth world for the player to visualize through words and simplicity- and they did so very effectively and beautifully.

Overall, very addictive despite the lack of visuals or sounds. It was an OCDer’s HEAVEN when venturing out to reveal every last inch of the map. Kept you on your toes and guessing over and over. Bravo!

Myself and 4 of my cousins have always been very into various types of gaming. Personally I had never experienced a game similar to this in any way. At first I was indifferent about it, It wasn’t as if I had lost interest seconds into it, but I wasn’t sure what it was all about. I took my time, I read every little message that popped up and carefully progressed through the game, soaking up every little detail. I finished the game for the 7th time earlier today and decided I would leave a review just because of how extraordinary I find this game. I want to say a huge thank you to Amir and Michael for all of the time, effort, and thought put into A Dark Room. I 10/10 recommend this game to anyone who wants to expand their gaming genre and explore a text based, time extensive game. Please take your time and try to appreciate everything about the game, and I promise you it will be worth it and you will love it.

P.S. The Ensign is also a very great game and once I have ventured farther into it and beaten it just a couple more times I will be sure to leave a review there as well.
