About the Game
Darkwood provides a new perspective on survival horror.
Scavenge and explore the rich, ever-changing free-roam world by day, then hunker down in your hideout and pray for the morning light.
Scavenge and explore the rich, ever-changing free-roam world by day, then hunker down in your hideout and pray for the morning light.
- Survival horror from a top-down perspective that is terrifying to play.
- No hand holding or quest markers. Test your skills and figure things out on your own!
- By day explore the randomly generated, ever-sinister woods, scavenge for materials, craft weapons and discover new secrets.
- By night find shelter, barricade, set up traps and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark.
- Gain skills and perks by extracting a strange essence from mutated fauna and flora and injecting it into your bloodstream. Watch out for unexpected consequences…
- Make decisions that impact the world of Darkwood, its inhabitants and the story you experience.
- Meet eerie characters, learn their stories and decide their fate. And remember - don’t trust anyone.
- As nights go by, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasies begin to blur. Are you ready to step into Darkwood?

Hi!
After a few hotfixes, it's time for a minor patch for Darkwood.

- Fixed Indiegogo content sometimes active even if you disabled it in the options menu.
- Fixed Musician happily playing on his violin after he's been eaten by his parents.
- Fixed villagers lying on mattresses disappearing if killed.
- Fixed floating text on a note from the Doctor.
- Fixed glitch if picking up a porter package when it's empty.
- Fixed mask for controller inputs too small for 4K resolutions.
- Fixed several typos.
Stay tuned for more! :)

Hello,
after continued save issues for some people, we have decided to disable support for the Steam Cloud. A small percentage of players were having issues with the files syncing properly, at random, with no apparent reason. I'm sorry, I tried my best to make this work and actually had a meltdown one evening... We will be investigating this further and hope to re-add this feature in the future.
If you have any issues with your saves, please see if copying the Cloud saves to the Local saves (after making a backup of course) will help: http://steamcommunity.com/app/274520/discussions/1/38596747814926913/ . You can always reach me at [email protected] !
- Removed support for cloud saves.
- Fixed black screen after dying in chain trap.
- Fixed disappearing underwater passage in the swamp border.
- Fixed glitch when picking up the last item from the Bike Man's package on a gamepad.
- Fixed sleeping characters not waking up when hit.
- Fixed several typos.

Hello,
After more than 4 years of development, Darkwood is finally complete. Thank you for being with us.
Early Access has helped this project tremendously, and even though we have stayed in development for way longer than we anticipated, thanks to your feedback Darkwood has grown in scope and complexity in ways we have never imagined possible.
We put our heart and soul into this project. We hope you like it.
Here's the relase trailer, showing a glimpse of what you may expect in the game:

Once again, thank you for your amazing support and patience,
