    An objective rating is impossible for this game. If I would have to pay for it then it's an underwhelming experience with a crude GUI and a lot of boring moments when you just sit there and wait to collect enough resources for the next step.

If I would have to pay for it then it's an underwhelming experience with a crude GUI and a lot of boring moments when you just sit there and wait to collect enough resources for the next step. Exploring the world can be very punishing so overall "playing" the game cannot be describes as much fun. The interaction with the "builder" never really takes off and overall the atmosphere could have been much improved.

    If you get the game for free then it's a bit different because you mainly play to find out how it will end. Yes, collecting resources is tiresome, exploring is not really satisfying and the atmosphere could have been improved but you haven't spent any money and the critical voice in your head needs to step aside.

    Try it if you can get it for free.    … Expand

    It's a strange little thing, to be sure, but I'd definitely recommend A Dark Room to people who appreciate off-beat RPGs, fans of experience-driven games, or really anyone looking for something a little bit different from usual.

    It may not seem like much at first, but if you stick around long enough, it’s easy to fall under A Dark Room’s spell.

    A Dark Room may have plenty of longevity and may be genuinely intriguing, but its interface feels undeveloped in its iOS iteration.
