Darkwood: A Terrifying Top-Down Survival Horror Game
Darkwood is a survival horror game developed by Crunching Koalas for the Nintendo Switch platform. The game provides a fresh perspective on the survival horror genre, with a top-down view that is both innovative and terrifying to play.
The game has a non-linear narrative that allows you to explore the rich, ever-changing free-roam world during the day. Your goal is to scavenge for materials, craft weapons, and discover new secrets. The game does not include any hand-holding or quest markers, so you will need to test your skills and figure things out on your own.
As night falls, you must find shelter, barricade, set up traps, and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark. You can gain skills and perks by extracting a strange essence from mutated fauna and flora and injecting it into your bloodstream. However, you must watch out for unexpected consequences.
The decisions you make in Darkwood will impact its world, inhabitants, and story. You will meet eerie characters, learn their stories, and decide their fate. But remember, don't trust anyone. As the nights go by, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasies begin to blur. Are you ready to step into the terrifying world of Darkwood?
