Darkwood

[Solitude]

Darkwood looked fascinating since the first time I saw it, which was a year or two ago.

I think this one review has it spot on:

“Darkwood is a promising top-down horror roguelike that has cult classic written all over it.”
Jeffrey Matulef, Eurogamer

It just looks so different to anything out there.

More 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.

Survival horror from a top-down perspective that is terrifying to play.
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?

It's going to the top of my wishlist!

Is anyone playing it?

Thanks that has gone onto my wish list as well. I assume this is going to make me cr@p myself...

This looked interesting to me as well, but I'm really bad with scary stuff.

One might even called me a bit of wimp.

Horror I enjoy, like Stasis, but not terror.

These are the guys that released their game on thepiratebay so that people wouldn't buy their game from key resellers and screw them over.
