Darkwood is a game about survival, exploration and fear, set in a mysterious forest somewhere in the territory of the Soviet Bloc. It is a top-down, open wo rld surreal horror experience with a randomized world. By blending RPG, roguelike and adventure elements together with a challenging difficulty, Darkwood aims to please players craving for a deep, atmospheric and rewarding experience.
When confronted with a unknown entity, you are forced to decide: run for it, or make a stand and fight. Even simple actions that seem to only exist in the gameplay itself can make a impact on Darkwood's world, resonating through eternity, like a church bell in an otherwordly plane.
Darkwood was successfully crowdfunded through an Indiegogo campaign, gathering over $57,000 and scoring more than 500,000 views on its two pre-alpha trailers.
Now the small independent studio from Poland (consisting of ”3 guys and a dog”) celebrates the final stretch on Early Access, after 3 years of refining the game together with the community and announcing a full release with this atmospheric trailer
