It's the most sadistic text adventure game ever made.
YOU AWAKE TO FIND YOURSELF IN A DARK ROOM!
You can find John on Twitter @Robbotron and keep up with what he's up to in the comedy world.
And here is the link to the Dark Room game store.steampowered.com/app/91...

If it’s not music from an Amiga or the game I am reviewing in the video, I probably got any backing music from purpleplanet.com.
Sometimes I forget to credit gameplay footage or uploaded gaming-related content (such as adverts). It takes a huge amount of time to make my videos and using these helps immensely, but if you see your footage and I didn’t credit you, PLEASE let me know so I can put it right.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my channel :3

Fantastic video - your channel has quickly become one of my favourite on KZfaq and I watch now everything you put out. Also great to see John Robertson as I haven't really seen him very much over the last few years so it's great to see a bit of what he's been up to. Great work :)

You really are nuts aren't you? And in a very good way :) I love it... And I like text adventures. It's interesting trying to play through an English language text adventure when you're 7 years old and don't speak / read more than two words of English. I did finish it by the way ;) And in between text adventures on the C64, Amiga and ZX Spectrum (Invincible Island). But this... This looks great!

I remember playing a text adventure on the zx spectrum published by ocean with a pirate ship on the cover, first off, no ship a bedroom and I never did get out that dam room, I literally tried every combination of items, I swear it was broken, I completed Discworld on the PS1, then again broken sword with that dam goat.

It was at this moment that I discovered My People. I wept tears of joy at the knowledge of their existence... and tears of sorrow at the knowledge that we would never meet. So I sup my brew, pour another generous measure of spirits and toast to those that dream, scream and laugh themselves hoarse... at each and every entry of The Dark Room. Yesh, quite a few. How, how, how did you know?? Bluddy wizzardsh...
