Hate Horror - BUT LOVE THIS GAME!

I’ve never been a fan of horror games, because lets face it - they are scary ;’( I was really keen on the top down perspective and unique style so I bought it. This game is atmospherically brilliant and terrifying. Darkwood is as deep as its forests, dense with lore and mystery. Darkwood’s core gameplay is exploring your surroundings in the day time, looting and crafting, drinking in set pieces, characters and story all the while. Contrasting with your nighttime activities, hunkering in your base, defending it from gruesome beings (or hiding and running for your life which was my preference) until morning. Accompanying you all the way is this ominous soundscape, soaked in dread, paralysing you at times, amazing, it can’t be described really, only experienced. The gorgeous story elements and gory set pieces are wonders to behold, and even though I was having heart palpitations and adrenaline rushes probably through most of the game, it’s one of the most memorable and high quality game experiences I’ve ever had. I’m so looking forward to dipping back in after my first play through as there’s so much I missed and multiple alternative branching storylines to follow up on. The story is so ambiguous I will be completely enraptured with it for many more play throughs. Thank you so much Dev’s, this is art!

One of the best horror games ever made

This is in my top five horror games of the 2010s, standing strong alongside RE7, Alien: Isolation, Amnesia TDD and Outlast. It has a mountain of atmosphere blanketing it, crushing the player. I'm a brave guy, but I was often quite hesitant to head into the woods and delve deep into the horrors within. I got a digital copy of this one on a whim and it blew me away so much, I had to get a DRM-free GOG copy. I can't recommend it enough, as long as you have a modicum of patience and don't expect an action-packed military shooter or something stupid like that.

Eerie journey of tension and discomfort

Deadwood is the kind of horror that I manage to play: disturbing, eerie, strange and scary, while being interesting and playable at your own pace. The game eggs you on to learn its systems and explore its world, but also teaches you to fear the dark and that curiosity *did* kill the cat. The graphical style is great in how it shows things without giving excessive detail, letting your mind fill the gap. Sound design is phenomenal! The sound of your steps, the creaky floors and doors, each sudden startling noise, the guttural gurgling growls of the monsters lurking in the dark, the overwhelming sound of pouring rain covering everything else, the droning noises of otherworldly places. Everything makes its noise, and sound becomes a guide and a warning. Be immersed in the world and play with fear of death, you will be rewarded with a very surreal and exciting experience where daytime will start as a scary incognita but end up as the least of your worries. Fear the night...

A Unique Take on Survival-Horror

Without overused mechanics, such as thirst/hunger bars found in similar titles sporting the same genre tag, Darkwood thrives by building a unique and interesting world that will terrify you. The story is told in a very non-handholdy manner, and as such it forces you out of your comfort zone by making you search thoroughly for limited resources in areas common sense dictates are extremely dangerous and risky. The combat is simple, yet satisfying enough thanks to well-crafted sprites and feedback. Sound design is where this title really shines: the audio, be it music or effects, really bring out those spine-chilling moments, especially when you've locked yourself inside a room at night and are left there trying to figure out which side of the hideout your enemies are wandering about in. Thanks to the limited field of view cone, the top-down perspective fits perfectly into making this a horror game without ever needing to rely on jump-scares. I can easily recommend this game to fans of Resident Evil 7, as despite the two looking quite different on the surface, they share a lot in common when it comes to things like ammo conservation, exploration, and storytelling that's not too intrusive. Overall Grade: 8/10

Лучший инди silent hill style выживач.

Когда konami уничтожила серию silent hill, я думал что больше не поиграю в нечто похожее, пока не встретил этот проект. Атмосфера, музыка, визуальный стиль, всё здесь мне понравилось, даже вид сверху не портит атмосферу и грамотный геймплей. Надеюсь когда-нибудь выйдет и на мобилки с новым контентом.
