I and my cat playing hide and seek game

I haven't seen my cat for a while. I figured he must've lost interest in the game as time passed. Suddenly, I hear him meowing in the hall and ran downstairs. As soon as my foot landed on the ground floor, I saw a his tail vanishing into the dark room.

I stood there for a while to figure out what my cat was doing at the dark room when he finally emerged, running towards me. He seemed to be too scared to come out so I lured him with food and then I scolded him and said that he could've just told me that he wanted to play hide and seek game with me instead of having me guessing what he wants all this time.
