How to play A Dark Room 2
Light the fire, build a cozy emoji village and find the way home.
How to play
Tap "Light fire" and gather wood to make the fire grow. A friendly builder arrives. Build huts and villagers move in. Give them jobs as berry pickers, stone carvers or shepherds. Explore the forest: turn three leaves per trip to find map pieces and animal friends. With three map pieces you can build the Sky Lantern and light the way home. Stuck? Tap 💡.
