I love Slavic and Polish horror games, they have some kind of essence that no other games or developers can hope to capture.
Alright Mr. Nazi..... talking about white superiority 😂 All jokes the old European folklore does go hard as fuck.
The tension during night events (in old woods) really freaks me out! darkwood is a TRUE HORROR SURVIVAL game. Scarier Than any triple A horror titles out there.
THIS VIDEO AS JUST 310 VIEWS IS A CRIME
Not many know about this game. It's a very hidden gem. So worth the time tho
True. I didn't knew what dark Wood was until I wached this video. That video should be more popular :-)

This came up on my recommended after I’d been looking for a story explanation of this game. The audio is a little hard to understand at times but great job editing and thank you for telling this story! Keep up the great work.
one of the best explanations i've ever watched for darkwood's story. Many analytical videos on this game leave out some details, you gave the full story and for that I enjoyed every minute. Good stuff man!
hi jacket
I never thought someone would come as far as to find an explanation to half of the story, let alone all of it.
hello, I speculate a third secret ending, where the wolf saves you from being burned in the valley, since the wolf always seems to know where you are stepping, or the merchant saves you, if there is a way to save the merchant, he probably saved you in the end of being burned, but it would have to kill the "three" or in this case burn the talking tree on the first day before dawn, as at dawn they would probably kill the merchant... any theory on who kills and writes a liar on the merchant's helmet? ANOTHER MISSING POINT IS THAT EVEN IF YOU KILL THE DOCTOR, HE WILL APPEAR NEXT TO THE SLEEPING BEING!!! I try all kinds of theories, congratulations on the video
WHY doo you only have one video! i was getting set to binge!~
More coming soon! ❤️
@CovetousCommoner thank youu 💞 I look forward to seeing your future videos.
Saaame
very cool video man! i have a suggestion though: sometimes the background music was too loud compared to your voice and I had trouble understanding you. other than that great job!
This video is underrated af great work man
Appreciate the kind words!! May the algorithm gods favor it 🙏
It’s a scary game. I remember my first night playing someone knocked and I was like oh god please leave man who tf knocks at this hour in this neighborhood!?!!
Answering a knock at the door, even at 2 am, is only proper courtesy and you absolutely should answer
The Background Music, Narrators Gruff Voice and Topic come together to make something akin to a lullaby. 😂
HELL YESSSS SOMEONE MADE A LORE VIDEO FINALLY!! Darkwood is my favorite horror media of all time! Never fails to give me chills.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO MY WOOD BE DARK AF!
... You might need to check that.
@@missmarshmallow5775implying that being black is a medical emergency... lol
@@evilnigga444 I was implying heavy bruising or gangrenous necrosis, why did you bring race into this? I might be wrong in assuming that this was a dick joke, but my intention was to make a joke about the subject having medical problems in his private parts, not me implying that being black was a medical emergency, i get that this could be interpreted that way, but it was not my intention.
Says evilnigga444

This is awesome all around. I want more videos from you. You have wiite a way of looking at and explaining things. The way the video flows all excellent.
Thank you! More videos are on the way. One is in the editing process, about halfway done there, and one is being scripted currently. :)
A terrific video man! Keep it up G
Amazing lore video. Thank you for the great work.
Beautiful video man. I really hope you do more explanation videos on other complex games.
Super solid start for your channel. You pull off "the voice" without being obnoxious which is a truly rare skill :p Plus your editing is on point as is your sound mixing and most importantly (to me) the script is well written and immersive. It'll be neat seeing how you choose to move forward from here and watching what you've already done well improve as you hone your skills. Oh and anyone not the content creator reading this yep they are making more videos, I asked them, just be patient.
I love your edits btw! I like the radio voiceover for the letters, makes it more immersive!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed every minute of this video! Now I want to play the game.
I really like this video and your style, keep up the good work :) As others have suggested though, please check through your audio carefully before posting for sound errors in the future :) the music got so loud at the 25~ish mark it was quite difficult to hear you. But! I also see this is your first vid so I'm subscribing and hope to see more :)
I liked the analysis, but I have a big complaint: I have a lot of trouble hearing your voice, because how naturally raspy it is and how low the volume is compared to the rest of the sounds and music.
Saying all that, I really liked how you explained the story and characters.
20 seconds in and I want to throw out my insomnia medication.
Absolutely a gem of a game
great work!
Great first vid!
This game is such a hidden gem! ❤
This video is really good! I noticed when the piano comes up in the videos music it makes your voice hard to hear especially when the story fet really good!
Thanks for the lore, I followed you till end.
Beautiful video
Awesome video, I subscribed
Immediately subscribed!
Oh if anyone wanted to know the piano in the beginning is silent Hill 2 ost.
Hey this video was awesome but if you want to do more type of content like this then I recomend playing "fear and hunger" and "fear and hunger 2 termina" its an Horror, RPG, resorce manegment ,immersive simulator. The battle system is very diffrent then in other rpgmaker games when normaly one enemy is count as one enemy, one enemy has limbs like two Arms two legs one torso and one head a that count as an enemy and the two hands = two actions for the enemys
Fear and hunger is in the pipeline! IDK when it will come out as I have other videos in the works in the meantime, but it will happen!
The muffle effect while reading notes is hard to understand..just letting ya know. More so hardbto hear than understand actually 😅
Fantastic first topic for a video! Darkwood is extremely underrated and deserves more people talking about it. Just one suggestion for the future - please try talking without the vocal fry, it's very unpleasant to listen to and distracts from the points you're making.
I'm subscribing and looking forward to the next vid!
Hey! I appreciate the kind words. Only time I will be addressing this, the vocal fry is mostly due to me being sick for about half the recording, later in the video you can tell it's a lot less fried and that's just my regular voice. Hopefully I'll be able to record in a better condition on my upcoming vid!
@@CovetousCommoner That's good to know, thank you for explaining.
Looking forward to the next one ^_^
A good tip: have the music at least half as loud as your audio
This is can be a big issue as the music can drown out what you are saying, which kinda is the point of the video…
Silent hill home coming did this on the boat scene where it was a exposition dump for why they are going out to the lake but subtitles or turning up the volume absurdly would allow us to know what was going on…
Great analysis.
Great video.
I do have a question though, is there a reason why when you explain the story your voice is a lot more quiet than when reading written in game things?
I had to turn my sound up a lot to hear you talk but then it was too loud when you came to reading in game stuff.
A lot of audio issues came about during both the recording and editing process of this video. Some of these against my control and some were just some noob mistakes tbh. All of these issues have been fixed for the upcoming video, and shouldnt be a relevant issue moving forward.
I love this game.
whats the background music from the start of the video that lasts till 0:36?
Great video, but I had to stop part way. The sound mixing was just to distracting and the volume at points being too loud then quiet the next was too much. When you read letters it got cringe inducing loud and the back and forth was annoying as I was listening in my vehicle. Tried to watch later and still the same. Then music was too loud to hear you much of the time. Great content but got to remember sound is just as important for a video and your hard work can be ruined by it too. Gotta to listen in other sources when editing otherwise that hard work can be for nought.
One last mystery is, who killed the trader at the swamp?
7:15 what's this song called??
Good video, batmanesque voice aside
I miss the time when I played this with my ex girlfriend
wtf is that silent hill music?'
Oh, so it's like "Color out of Space" but without the color, and with extra steps? That's really cool!
it's def got MAJOR lovecraftian vibes
Plastusiowy Pamiętnik haha
Did you have a cold while recording this? Your voice sounds very soft and almost in pain, it's hard to understand what you're saying
This dude just read word for word from a steam post.
This is plagerism at best lmao.
I credited the steam post and the creator of the post in the video and description and entice people to go check out the written post. I did a lot to change the script though, actually, as the steam post doesn't really fit a narrative commentary style and there was a lot of stuff left out that I used the wiki for and a lot of liberties I took to not fully plagiarize someone else's work. But thanks for your input!
PS, most commentary videos like this just read the wiki on their videos, so the criticism is dull at best 🙂
@@CovetousCommoner 🤣
You're actually pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.
@@Auditor_of_the_Stupidthis is amazing he also just read the wiki out loud for the fucking snail
i wanted to watch but the vocal fry on your voice was too distracting. sorry man. stopping 3:12
Boring ahh game
Absolutely incredible video 11/10
I'm commenting because I liked this and would love to see your channel grow. The vocal fry in the narrator's voice is very distracting and at some points very uncomfortable to listen to. If the narration can be done without vocal fry and over dramatization with voice, this would be perfect.
I just wanted to comment that I watched the video for like 5 minutes and couldn't understand more than a couple words, idk if the mic or how close you are to it or what but the words are completely unintelligible
I understood every word 🤷♂️
