You found something
you weren't meant to.

Darkroom is a web-based investigative mystery game. You play as an analyst sifting through leaked files, intercepted communications, and classified databases to uncover what powerful people tried to bury. No hand-holding. No waypoints. Just documents, instincts, and time.

What is Darkroom

Investigation as a game.
Mystery as a world.

You didn't sign up for this. You stumbled into a hacker collective's network and now you have access to things you probably shouldn't. Cold cases. Active threats. Files that were supposed to stay buried.

  • Read leaked emails, intercepted chats, financial records, and system logs
  • Build an evidence board by pinning clues, drawing connections between suspects, and naming what you've found
  • Navigate an immersive dark-web browser with multiple sites, each with its own look and feel
  • Earn new tools as the collective vouches for you
  • Choose how it ends

Play your way
No forced order
Cases open when you find them, not when the game decides you're ready. Switch between investigations freely. Put something down and come back to it a week later. The files wait.
Tools you earn
Your capability grows
TRACEROUTE. SIGNAL DECODER. ARCHIVE DIVER. Each tool arrives when you've proven you need it — and every one retroactively changes what you can find in documents you already read.
You're not alone
The collective is real
A hacker network operates alongside you in real time. Their chat scrolls whether you're watching or not. They notice things. They talk about you. Some of them will help — if you earn it.
