iOS and iPadOS Gaming
Hello everyone,
I'm the developer of A Dark Room. I just wanted to say that recent updates make it 100% playable via VoiceOver. If you have any questions or feedback, please post here and I'll respond as quickly as I can.
The game is an RPG, and is best experienced without knowing too much about what will happen. But if you need a description (which contains very minor spoilers). It's in the next paragraph.
Minor Spoilers in: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
A Dark Room is an RPG where you start off in a room with a fire. As the game progresses, events will slowly unlock... soon, you'll have to manage a small civilization, buy buildings and equipment, and venture out into a treacherous world with real time combat (all playable with VoiceOver). There is a very deep storyline and much to uncover in the game. Including an alternate ending.
Also, to help raise awareness about the blind using iOS devices, I've written a blog entry about it. Please feel free to share the link with anyone who could benefit from reading about how to make iOS apps accessible: http://amirrajan.net/software-development/2013/12/29/if-you-are-reading-this-you-are-not-blind/
And here is the link to the game: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/a-dark-room/id736683061?mt=8
Hope you enjoy. Sincerely,
Amir (creator of A Dark Room for iOS)

Truly Touched
A dark room
Just finished playing, loved it. At end it said I could play without huts for a different ending. Have tried twice on my ipad and after getting wood, furs, etc. I get no place where I can actually start playing, can't turn my meat into dried, can't turn my furs into leather, etc. all I can do is keep adding more wood and furs, etc. am I doing something wrong?
You can't build huts it's
You can't build huts it's true, but you can still build all the other buildings. You can have for example a merchant.
Huts
Hi, thanks for your reply. Where would I find the merchant? I can only get wood and the traps, nothing else shows up unless I add a hut. Just finished my second game and again it said try without huts. I am using it on my ipad and it doesn't look the same as when it is on a PC.
Huts
Duh! Just figured it out, either the lodge didn't show up before or I didn't see it, anyway I'm on my way. Thanks.
No hits game
Hi, me again. I am well into the game, have wood, furs, etc. have purchase the trading post and compass. I have a merchant withe the following for sale, compass, cured meat, scales, teeth and a builder with the following, cart trap, hut, trading post. There is no tanner anywhere and no smokehouse. I can't go anywhere, just keep using the wood and traps. Is this a bug?
