I like devs who has such a relaxed view on piracy, it earned them a purchase from me (and hopefully many others).. Installing Very Happy

Exactly. I'm gonna try the isodemo some day, and if the game's good, I'm gonna buy it.

Nice game. Not really scary though, but a really nicely realized idea. The top-down view works well.
Not really frightening, yet a disturbing, unsettling unique ambiance. Well designed art too.

Try it out, meat.

 Spoiler:
 


I stand by the fact that it's an overall fine game, but fuck that. It's plain stupid.

Darkwood is the love child of Don’t Starve and Silent Hill. A game that combines refined survival elements with the weirdness of an unsettling world to create a gripping gameplay experience. This is a master class in survival horror that reminds me of the passion and dedication that made me fall in love with indie games in the first place.

Pros:
+ Creepy story
+ Eerie atmosphere
+ Fantastic artistic direction
+ Satisfying gameplay loop
+ Sound design

Cons:
– The combat can be a bit clunky at times
– Some backtracking

Fantastic news, the first is one of my favorite survival horror games.

"In association with Acid Wizard Studio", we shall see about this.

The first game's pixel-based visuals and top-notch sound effects definitely contributed to delivering an impeccable atmosphere, then its constant sense of mystery did the rest. My only complaint was the going back 'n forth™, which is traditionally not something I love.

Apparently, a few years back Acid Wizard sold the Darkwood IP rights to the publisher, but are still contractually obligated to have a consultant role (even though they're a skeleton crew): https://www.gamespress.com/en-US/Darkwood-2-announced-PC
