About Darkwood
Darkwood - a new perspective on survival horror. Scavenge and explore a rich, ever-changing free-roam world by day, then hunker down in your hideout and pray for the morning light.
Survive the horrors of the Darkwood as you explore the ever-changing world by day, and seek shelter to survive the night. Scavenge for vital resources, build your defenses, and pray for the morning light.
How you came to this ruined land is a mystery, but now your determination to escape is set. But to leave, you must first survive. Explore multiple dense biomes as you make your way from hideout to hideout, while accumulating the resources, allies, and information you need. The locals of the woods have a variety of dark quests and rewards for those brave enough to indulge their requests. However, the twisted inhabitants of the forest are often at odds with each other, and hard decisions will need to be made. The story will change based on your choices as you slowly uncover the mysteries of the Darkwood. Would you doom an entire village in hopes of reward from a creature, or try to assist what pockets of humanity remain?
From festering catacombs to fetid swamps, Darkwood’s landmarks, quests, and encounters are all carefully hand-crafted. However, with each new game, the woods and places of interest will rearrange, ensuring that you’re never quite certain of your path in the woods while also giving new opportunities with each playthrough.
