Please DO NOT use headsets, since some of the sounds can be very loud.

Overview

"The Dark Room" is a survival game. You are trapped in a dark room with creatures trying to eat you up. You need to escape them and reach a portal that will teleport you out of the room. But be careful, if you run too fast then the creatures will hear you and move towards you faster than usual. You need to strategically plan your moves to evade the creatures and also find the portal to escape. Every portal you find increases your score, whereas getting eaten up by a creature decreases your score. Also, more you win, the game becomes more difficult with more creatures getting added up in the room. So, best of luck and enjoy the game.

Known Bugs

Congrats on your first game!! I hope you stick with it!

I like the lighting! It was a bit easy and short, but overall a nice concept!

I love how the music makes the red squares so creepy!  They're just shapes, but I could swear they were hungry.

Mr. Arrecis

I like light effect. Your first game in godot is very nice! I hope you make more games with godot.

nice submission. i like the 2d lighting around player.

the game felt a bit too short.

Quick fun game. Problem i've face multiple time is spawning in wall or enemy and even spawning directly on goal also for the sound i'm wearing an headset and it only plays on the left ear until I get close to the portal then i hear on both side.  

Thanks for playing :) ... this is my first game with the Godot engine ...so there are still few bugs ...i have listed them on the game page ...will try to work on them soon....regarding the sound i didnt know this bcoz i didnt use headset ...thanks for finding it out

It's fun to play - but it's a little glitchy - sometimes the enemies fly through the walls onto me.  I guess one could consider that part of the challenge :-)

Thanks for playing ... actually its done purposely ..it happens when the player runs too fast ...the player has to move slowly without making much noise ...btw i have mentioned it in the game description 

I remember reading that they'd speed up, but I had expected the walls to still block them - they go straight through the walls.  If that's the design - well then everything works great.

ya it's design ... its required because if player runs too fast then he can easily find the portal ...so i made it like that ... thanks :)

This game is kinda cool. Though you could improve the art a bit more :)

Thanks :) ... was trying out the godot engine so made this one quickly without any good sprites
