Last month, Darkwood developer Acid Wizard Studio released out a live-action trailer to announce that the top-down survival-horror game would finally be released on August 17. Joe said at the time that live-action promos for videogames don't really turn his crank, and I agree—but the new trailer released to mark the game's launch is pure gameplay, and it looks fantastic.
On the surface, Darkwood sounds like a fairly straightforward survival-horror experience. By day, you'll scavenge the open-world forest for materials and supplies, and at night you'll need to hide away from "the horrors that lurk in the dark." But it's the promise of something more sinister underneath it all that really appeals: Making decisions that impact the world and inhabitants of Darkwood, while trying to come to grips with its mysteries.
The top-down gameplay in the trailer isn't frightening in the way that first-person games typically are—the developers make a point of describing it as "survival horror without jump scares"—but it's undeniably creepy. The lighting is great, and the audio is used to tremendous effect to help drive the trailer to its crescendo. And it's so damn weird—A "wolfman" isn't the most exotic creature ever to appear in a videogame, but one dressed in a hoodie and heavy jacket, with an AK slung over his shoulder? That, you don't see every day.
Darkwood is available on Steam and GOG for ten percent off its regular $15/£12/€14 price until August 24.
Hi, just a heads up about a small hotfix that was launched today:
- Added a missing note near the ending of the game. - Fixed missing dialogues in RU localization in Wolf and Musician. - Fixed incorrect outcomes after epilogue. - Fixed musician's mother talking even though she's dead. - Updated the credits a bit. - Fixed a few gamepad bugs. - Fixed Kuba's drawings. - Fixed lag in cooking menu. - Fixed Wolf's dialogue about the invitation in the PL localization.
I have to say, we're pretty overwhelmed with your response to the launch! We're very happy and hope you have a great time in the wonderful world of Darkwood!

Delightfully unpleasant top-down survival horror Darkwood [official site] has finally escaped early access and launched in full. I’m a big baby where jump scares are concerned but Darkwood looks like exactly the sort of horror I crave: surreal, unsettling, often slow, and with some friendly-ish faces but so many more awful things. The bits I’ve heard from certified brave man Adam make Darkwood sound wizzo, so I’m glad it’s finally properly out.
Here, look at the launch trailer showing the terrible things that happen when you receive something as simple and pleasant as an invitation to a party: (more…)
