Darkroom: step two

2026-10-10 · one roll end to end with real questions · simulator, iPhone 17 Pro · roll 01, one deliberate miss on frame 1

On the phone: open the previewer and choose Play roll 01 (or 04, 05, 26) under In context. The tray uses your chosen presets for each stage, your layered map, and a 20 px mask feather.

Opening the roll and answering

Sleeve with three negatives, frame 1 marked — The sleeve: three negatives, the frame to print marked.

An answer chosen and the blank sheet ready — An answer chosen: the blank sheet appears; slide it into the tray or press Develop.

The print coming up in the tray — Developing: the stage rises over 2.5 s; the bath label moves on.

Correct answer marked — Right: the answer is marked and the panel scrolls to the verdict.

A miss with a fog mark in the tray — A miss: the bath clouds, a fog mark settles, the stage holds. No red anywhere.

Stage 3 in the tray — Stage 3 (WASH), one answer from finished.

Hanging

Frame 1 held up square — The fourth right answer lifts the print out, the safelight lifts, and it waits for the student.

Frame 1 on the line, sleeve shows frame 2 — Frame 1 drying on the line; the sleeve marks it done and moves to frame 2.

Frame 2 held — Frame 2.

Two prints on the line — Two on the line.

Frame 3 held — Frame 3, the turn.

The envelope

Three prints on the line and the closed envelope — All three on the line; the empty envelope is offered.

The flap open on It only seats six — Opened: the line, then the title and the take, logged with the Fence.

Not in this step

Saving: leaving the screen loses the roll (step 3).
The envelope box, collection and reprinting (step 4).
Drips, wet sheen and the full tilt-to-upright motion (step 5); the lift here is a straight corner move.
The game's entry in the Underworld, the pager, and the accessibility pass (step 6).
