How it begins

You are nowhere, and it is dark. You are carrying a broken flashlight, a closed bag, two metal rods, and some pocket lint.

Notable features

• The main gimmick of No Room is that the author didn't program any rooms for the player character to be in. By default, the PC is stuck in Inform's pseudo-location, Darkness. Thus, in a sense, this isn't a "one-room game", but a no room game, hence the meaning of the game's title.
