So I'll be completely honest, only reason this game was on my radar was because of the Piracy thing the devs did a few years ago, so I wanted to throw in my support. This is edit #2 of my review, after completing the first (and I assume true?) ending of Darkwood. This game was...amazing. I'm not sure I've truly played anything like it before. The combat is fun and intuitive, though I'd caution against being too reluctant to use weapons. I got through the entire game without using the Hunting Rifile, only because I was always waiting for a "boss" that never happened. I assume the game DOES have bosses, I just never saw them myself.

The cast of characters, while grotesque, are charming each in their own little way. Every character has a bit of depth to them, leaving the morality of the game more or less grey, like the color scheme. The game gives plenty of hints of what to do and how to do it, but it is indeed easy to get lost sometimes. Still, I'd recommend giving this game a shot. If for nothing else, then to support the devs. Very excited to 100% this game, and if I come up with anything else, I'll update this review accordingly.

So I'll be completely honest, only reason this game was on my radar was because of the Piracy thing the devs did a few years ago, so I wanted to throw in my support. It's not my type of game and I'm a...little lost, to be blunt, but I've enjoyed it more or less so far. Not a game I can play for more than an hour though. Still, would recommend, though I'm not sure if there's many games like it.
