    I know I'm not going to play through the game, and in situations like that (there are many) I find lore videos like yours absolutely invaluable. I feel like I just experienced an incredible story that I wouldn't have otherwise. Thanks man.

    I'm sorry for any mispronunciations of the Polish names in this video. I looked up pronunciations and tried by my best when saying them, so hopefully they're not too bad!
    Also, I'm far from perfect, so some errors may have made their way into the video. I apologize in advance for those and hope they don't detract from the viewing experience too much!
    Thanks for watching!

    This game is incredible for not entirely relying on the fear of the unknown. Pretty much everything can be explained for why its happening but regardless of knowledge every night feels like a fight for your life. The ambience and suspense you can feel at night rarely changes, but your knowledge does increase. You go from hiding in a corner in the Dry Meadow to roaming the hall with a shotgun, a pistol, and a shovel ready to fight for your life while being on the verge of pissing your pants. Moral of the story: Face your fears, respect the woods, be patient, focus.

    As per usual, the wait was worth it! This is some top notch stuff, man. Great editing, voiceover work and writing. Darkwood is a fascinating game. I remember first seeing the PS4 launch trailer and being really drawn in by the atmosphere and aesthetic. Having now played through it a few times on PC, it might be one of my favorite survival horror games.

    The part about the asteroid that fell from the sky and made plants and stuff grow in an exponential rate reminds me a bit about that story from Lovecraft, called "The Color Out Of Space" wich is very cool. The cursed forest and some other elements reminds me some slavic horror and Blair Witch wich i really like. I particularly didn't enjoy the gameplay because suvival games aren't my thing, but the atmosphere was awesome! Great video, Like!
