Unplayable gem

I got it because the atmosphere seemed interesting and since Halloween is approaching, I needed my fix of horror. I played it for several days redoing the first chapter but eventually dropped it before even getting to chapter 2. Unity Engine. Worst engine to release a retail game (not a prototype). Virtually no game made with it has any performance optimization whatsoever. I have a decent rig and it still froze every other minute... Having that in an 'unforgiving' game is unforgivable itself. Clunky controls. Nothing more to be said which leads me to the next one. Bugs. Ignoring the occasional crashes, so many bugs. There are known PC related bugs that were never fixed. One recent example comes to mind when I kept the door open and take a offensive approach during the night, then discovered the wedding location during the day, the event and invitation never triggered. Punishes player for exploring and not following their rules. For any exploration you do, you will have to fight. A lot and with very limited ammo (one clip and _one_ shotgun shell per day). And forcing the player to spend nights in a hideout 'just because' is a terrible game mechanic. Considering your hideout will absolutely get attacked, it may be safer in the woods. But no, some red creature instakills you for not being in the designated zone at a specific time. By the why, why does the night start at 8 in the evening? Great story but bad storytelling. Since the game trained me from the start that everything will kill you, I ended up murdering everyone, including the villagers since no cinematic or character bothered to introduce me to them... Overall, great potential wrapped in a very bad package. The people that did the artwork, sound and writing did a great job. It's a shame everything else ruins it.

Worth it

The best that Darkwood offers is a tense horror experience without jumpscares. So, the first hours are great indeed: you are exploring vicinity for materials, get scared every rustle and shadow, barricading the shelter, shaking with fear at night when you catch sight of some creature through the boarded up window. You learn the Forest, and eventually you end up with understanding that you shouldn't spend resources on barricades (there're almost useless), you shouldn't touch every meter hoping to find scarce timber or gasoline - there are plenty of them everywhere. The one thing still remain - enemies can give you a lovely sweaty clutter every time you overestimate your capabilities. Nevertheless, I highly recommend to give a shot to this game. There are options for replaying to go deep to the peculiar lore, you get slightly new generated terrain every following playthrough. And don't forget your sense of humor - even in such a dark place it may be useful.
