Darkling Room

Profile updated Jul 2026

This profile is public because indielist links Darkling Room to 2 published, evidence-backed indie games. That portfolio evidence does not classify the publisher itself as independent and is not an official statement from the publisher.

Darkling Room is a game publisher with an evidence-backed indie game portfolio on indielist. indielist tracks 2 titles on its label, together holding 548 Steam reviews. Its biggest title by Steam reviews is The Lost Crown, with 407 reviews (2014). It has published games from 1 studio, including Darkling Room. That averages about 274 Steam reviews per title across the label. For a developer deciding whether to pitch, the first thing to weigh is portfolio fit: which genres and what scale of project Darkling Room has actually shipped and supported to launch, all of which indielist lays out on this page alongside its studio relationships and signing history. This profile sits inside indielist's relationship graph of studios, publishers, and games, so studios can judge fit before pitching and investors can trace the label's signing activity across genres and years, the kind of publisher to studio to game connections that are slow to reconstruct from storefront pages alone.

Darkling Room's catalog on indielist spans 2 titles holding 548 Steam reviews in total, an average of 274 per release, and its most-reviewed entries are The Lost Crown, Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil. For a developer weighing a pitch, that published track record is the clearest signal of what the label can actually take to market: which genres it has shipped, the review volume its releases tend to reach, and whether that scale is a realistic fit for the project on offer. Pitching a cozy puzzle game to a label whose catalog is all hardcore shooters is a fast rejection, and the portfolio makes that mismatch obvious before any email is sent. indielist shows the white-box sales estimate behind each of those titles too, so the publisher's commercial output can be judged on visible figures rather than on reputation or a press-release headline alone.

Darkling Room has published work from 1 studio (Darkling Room), and indielist records each pairing as an edge in its publisher-to-studio-to-game graph. An investor can use that to trace which developers a label has backed and how its roster has grown release by release, while a developer can check whether the publisher already works with teams of a similar size or genre before sending a pitch, which is a strong hint about whether a cold approach is worth the effort. Each linked studio page in turn lists that studio's full portfolio and its other publisher relationships, so the network around Darkling Room can be explored outward in either direction rather than read as a flat, disconnected list, and the same graph powers the "similar publishers" suggestions that help a developer build a realistic shortlist instead of pitching one name at a time.
