Game Description

A Dark Room creates a roguelike experience within the incremental genre. It starts the game as a very simplistic interface, providing a single button to progress, but quickly integrates multiple resources, building construction, equipment, and more. It is available in both browser and iOS.

Resources
There are a wide range of resources that become available to the player as the game progresses. Notably, wood quickly becomes the most important, as it is required to keep the fire burning and to construct buildings. Other resources that come into player later on include meat for curing (which can then be used to keep the player fed during expeditions), leather, and steel.

Buildings
Huts are just the first building that become available, and will allow the player to receive population to help support the player's campsite. People that have moved into huts can be assigned jobs, from gathering wood to mining for coal. These jobs all produce resources, while some will also consume them. Raw meat, for example, will be consumed when producing cured meat.

Equipment
The player will be given the option of crafting equipment. There is a long list of items available to make, but they include weapons, armor, bags to carry more goods when on an expeditions, water reservoirs to carry more water, and more. These become vital to the progression of the player late game.
Alternatively, some items can be found while out on expeditions. Swords, guns, bullets, and more can be found from either felled enemies or hidden caches.

Expedition
Once the player has received a compass, they will be able to go out on an expedition. While out, the player must maintain enough food and water to ensure that they don't die. Water is consumed once ever step, while cured meat is consumed once every 4.
The player may randomly encounter enemies while outside the safety of the camp. As the player progresses further and further away, the enemies become stronger and faster, meaning that the player must ensure that they have enough skill to defend themselves. This will generally consist of arming themselves with better weapons (such as rifles).
Houses, caves, mines, and more can be found while out. If the player clears a location of enemies and reaches the end, they will generally be rewarded with a cache of items. This can include meat, but may also hold rarer items such as steel swords or grenades. Once the location has been cleared, it may be turned into a safehouse. Once a safehouse has been established, it will populate with a random amount of cured meat for the player to collect while out travelling. A safehouse can only be visited once per trip and will automatically replenish the player's water supplies.
Roads will be made from the safehouse back to the camp. While on roads, the player will not be attacked at all.

Every resource is required to improve housing or provide resources to produce other resources.50+ levels of production buildings per resource. Production buildings have a fixed cost, with an increasing cost and production per level. Upgrading buildings is not automatic: you decide whether to upgrade (at certain cost) the level, which will cost more incrementally, will need more workers and other resources and produce more.An advisor will hint to the next steps needed to grow the city.Housing generates income to buy more space. Space costs increasingly more, but is automatically bought. The newly acquired space can be used to build more housing or other buildings.Many different aspects of city happiness: unemployment, government, safety buildings to name a few. Every building will be able to facilitate a certain amount of population.Over 400 city achievements give small bonuses to city production.Multiple cities can be build, each with different starting conditions for production. Each city will trade with other cities and will contribute partly to a faster growth of other cities.Monuments are great structures in cities which provide a bonus to resource production for all cities. Monuments require significant resources and build over several steps.Cities will trade resources with all other cities, providing there is a surplus of the resource being traded in the city.
