A Dark Room: The Best-Selling Game That No One Can Explain

You keep stoking the fire, the thin blue bar disappearing and then slowly filling itself out again each time to signal when you’ll be able to press the “stoke fire” button again. What follows is a strange hybrid, part mystery story and part smartphone productivity software, an app that inexplicably rocketed to the most-downloaded spot in the App Store’s games section in April and stayed there throughout the month.

Does this off street work qualify them as “trail artists”? Their other work, which is both large and small in scale, has found its home on the walls, windows and doors of the urban environment – but it’s no less friendly. Inspired by the residents of the space the art occupies, the artwork can’t help but seem at home… and that’s just the point: “For us painting outside doesn’t mean finding the most visible spot but it is more about finding the perfect placement for a particular image.
