Top-down horror survival game

Darkwood is a top-down horror survival game. Explore a world of forests, towns and ruined cities to gain items and abilities in order to survive the nightly terrors.

Survive the night

Set in a dark and sinister world of shadows and monsters, Darkwood is a game which manages to succeed spectacularly through a unique atmosphere. Gameplay consists of scavenging through a procedurally generated world filled with a variety of location, finding scrap for building, weapons and plants used for upgrades. When night-time begins, the game shifts into a more typical horror experience. Nightmarish creates will mercilessly attack, making players either defend behind constructed barriers and traps or go on the offensive with a variety of tools. The art style and music score combine minimalism and tension to produce a real unnerving feeling. This combines with a rogue-like style death system to create a truly engaging and addictive game. Darkwood also has a number of NPCs and branching storylines, taking beyond its survival and crafting roots to a fully fleshed single player gem.

Something for all

Darkwood is an incredible game built with real care. The player experience has been made top priority with huge success. Fans of horror, crafting and more will find individual elements to love while being sucked into the wider world.
