A Dark Room
By Amirali Rajan
Description
An unforgettable journey that starts small and slowly becomes much, much,
more.
A minimalist text adventure by Michael Townsend.
Developed at doublespeak games and inspired by Candy Box.
There are several locations that the player will encounter throughout the
game. Performing certain actions, building
different structures, purchasing key items, or finding special areas on The
World will unlock specific locations.
The player begins in A Dark Room. The only option presented to the player is
to light the fire.
Once the dark room is lit, the room will become A Firelit Room. The Firelit
Room can be upgraded to allow the player
the ability to build a variety of structures, craft weapons or supplies, or
buy resources from the Trading Post. The
Room will report its temperature and the status of the fire whenever
entered. The fire may be flickering, burning, or
roaring, which will cause the room to be mild, warm, or hot respectively. If
not stoked for a period of time, the fire will
degenerate from roaring to burning to flickering, with the room cooling as
it goes. If the fire tries to fall below flickering, Builder will stoke it
automatically to keep it lit. Since Builder generates a constant +2 wood per
10 seconds, it would seem to be impossible for the fire to actually go out
(and the room to drop back below mild) once burning.
If the temperature gets too low, the builder refuses to build. Other than
this, the state of the fire and temperature of the room do not appear to
have any impact on the rest of the game after the builder recovers, apart
from causing a Buildings
constant slow consumption of wood.

Weapons
Weapons provide the player with a means to defend themselves while
traversing The World. Weapons can either be crafted, traded, or found in a
variety of locations throughout The World.
It is important to note that with the exception of the Fists, carrying
weapons does not override the ability to attack with either weapon; this
means that if the avatar is carrying both an Iron Sword and a Steel Sword,
they will be able to both "swing" with the Iron Sword and "slash" with the
Steel Sword, and both weapons will experience cooldown timers independent of
each other. In this way, it is typically advantageous to carry a variety of
weapons, as their carrying cost is generally outweighed by the benefit to
simultaneously attack with multiple weapons in battle.
Carrying more than 1 of any single type of weapon does not allow the avatar
to attack twice with that weapon without a cooldown.
