About The Darkest Woods

✦ AI summary

The Darkest Woods is a survival horror adventure where you wake up lost in a mysterious forest with no memory and must uncover the truth while managing scarce resources and making choices that can lead to multiple endings. Inspired by classic horror flash games, it prioritizes atmospheric storytelling and meaningful decisions over graphics, challenging you to survive through puzzle-solving and careful inventory management.

You wake up among the trees. Your head hurts and it's cold here. You see you bag on the grass, you pick it up, empty... All this feels like a bad dream. But it's not a dream.

Idea
Do you remember those horror flash games? Early quests? Well this is the idea.
Nowadays everyone wants to sell games with ultra-high graphics, which requires a lot of DLC to get a well-made game.
But we want to bring you a story. A story that you can feel without super graphics or paying a lot of money. We want you to go through the game interested and thrilled.
We hope you like this game, so we could encourage ourselves to make the second part.

Hints
A bullet can save you or trap you, use it wisely!
If you're confused about the story, maybe you can find an answer in a chest.
Your actions may lead you to a dead end.
Don't forget to save, there is no autosave (old times!)
Don't be afraid to start over again.

✦ AI summary

The Darkest Woods is a short point-and-click adventure that players praise for its unique art style, spooky atmosphere, and engaging story despite some translation issues. Common complaints include poor graphics, unclear puzzle logic that sometimes requires trial-and-death, and an abrupt ending, though supporters note it feels like a passionate indie project. Players generally recommend it at a sale price rather than full price.

A very spooky, short point and click game. It took me a little over an hour to play to the end. The design and art choices certainly are unique and while there are some translation issues I still enjoyed the story. Definitely worth a play!

Recommended Nov 6, 2021
Yes, very much recommended! Granted, It's a borderline flash game. But It's a passion project, and at sale price, It's worth it. Most puzzles are logical, and bar a few situations where you might need to die to figure it out, It's perfectly fair.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
