Summary

Darkwood is a unforgiving survival horror with a procedurally generated, open world. By blending RPG, roguelike and adventure elements together with a challenging difficulty, Darkwood aims to please players craving for a deep and rewarding experience. The fear of unknown is powerful. Your senses will be deceived by Darkwood's surreal terrors. No answer will be given to you for free, yet somewhere in the woods lies the truth, an explanation to what has happened in this godforsaken place. By day, explore the randomly generated woods, scavenge for materials and weapons, discover secrets, solve mysteries and talk, trade with or kill the various inhabitants of Darkwood. By night, return to your hideout, barricade, set up traps and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark.

Storyline

Darkwood unfolds in a mysterious, ever-expanding forest somewhere in the Soviet Bloc during the late 1980s, where the surrounding land has been swallowed and its people left trapped. A strange plague festers among the survivors, twisting many into monstrous, mindless things, while the few remaining outsiders cling to scattered hideouts. The player takes the role of the Stranger, a man desperate to find a way out and searching for a stolen key that promises passage through an underground escape route. By day he scavenges the woods for supplies and clues, and by night he barricades himself in and fights to survive until dawn, all while the choices he makes shape the fates of the forest's uneasy inhabitants.
