A Dark Room is a minimalist text adventure game that runs in the browser. It blends interactive fiction with resource management and incremental progression, gradually revealing new mechanics and story elements as you play.

Key Features

  • Single-page, minimalist UI focused on text-driven gameplay
  • Incremental progression and resource management mechanics
  • Narrative discovery that unlocks new actions and systems over time
  • Multi-language support via community translations
  • Easy to host as a static web app

Use Cases

  • Self-host a lightweight browser game for a community, classroom, or event kiosk
  • Embed a minimalist interactive fiction experience into an internal portal
  • Run offline-friendly entertainment on an intranet or local network

A Dark Room is a compact, well-known example of minimalist game design that is simple to deploy and accessible across devices with a modern web browser.
