![]() You’ve got exceedingly little stamina, painfully slow attack speed, and in the beginning, almost no equipment. The player can see the landscape from above, but as for specific enemies, you’re limited to a cone of vision. You can run around during the day and scrounge up whatever you can in order to make it back home and survive the night, which generally involves sitting in the corner of your safehouse, surrounded by bear traps, hoping nothing comes a-knockin’.Įven during the ostensibly safer day, Darkwood remains extremely dark. The game revolves around a day-night cycle. Your character must struggle to survive the night in an extremely dark wood. ![]() You have nothing but your own guile and whatever junk you can scavenge to keep the horrors at bay.ĭarkwood is a top-down survival game. Rather, you’re just a schlubby little guy in a trench coat with nothing in your pockets but lint. ![]() Unlike Annihilation or S.T.A.L.K.E.R., however, you aren’t coming in as a well-armed and properly equipped scientist/mercenary, who were able to choose their loadout a la Escape from Tarkov. But from what I understand, this is indeed a Zone, one that splat right on top of a well-populated region in Poland. I bought Darkwood on sale just a few days ago, and haven’t been able to play through the whole thing. The Zone is not necessarily an evil place rather, it’s like a weather phenomenon, a force of nature that cannot be altered, simply managed. As with the other books and movies, this game features a weird Zone where simply being inside of it begins to warp your mind and body into something horrific. I recently read Annihilation, one of the latest additions to the Roadside Picnic genre. All you can do after that is hope that you’ve got enough gas in your generator’s tank to keep your lights on throughout the night and that nothing gets through your boarded-up windows. Get out and scavenge for supplies, and get back before dark. You awaken (after the prologue) in a house without memory, finding yourself in an exceedingly dangerous overgrown grove, where the people are going mad and the trees slowly devour all. The game takes place in a very dark wood.
