Darkwood is in Early Access right now. This means that:
- The game will have bugs (ranging from minor annoyances to not being able to run the game at all) and will change during development.
- Your savegames will NOT be compatible between updates.
- New versions will be released in 1-2 month intervals.
- The difficulty will be unbalanced and unfair.
It is strongly recommended you ONLY buy the game if you want to influence the development. Otherwise, please wait for the final release.
PLEASE READ THE KNOWN ISSUES THREAD BEFORE BUYING
Darkwood is a unforgiving survival horror with a procedurally generated, open world. By blending RPG, roguelike and adventure elements together with a challenging difficulty, Darkwood aims to please players craving for a deep and rewarding experience.
The fear of unknown is powerful. Your senses will be deceived by Darkwood's surreal terrors. No answer will be given to you for free, yet somewhere in the woods lies the truth, an explanation to what has happened in this godforsaken place.
- By day, explore the randomly generated woods, scavenge for materials and weapons, discover secrets, solve mysteries and talk, trade with or kill the various inhabitants of Darkwood.
- By night, return to your hideout, barricade, set up traps and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark.
- Gain skills or perks by extracting essence from mutated fauna and flora and injecting it into your bloodstream.
- Each action you take will have impact on Darkwood and its inhabitants. The choices you make will define the story which you will experience.
- As days go by, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasies will begin to blur. You will start to question the protagonist's sanity, but may also stumble upon your own hidden fears...

After years of waiting, its official - Darkwood 2 is coming.
Crafting the world of Darkwood was a very challenging and long journey for us. After Darkwood, the studio grew. We tried making new games, but ultimately decided that we cant go on working together. We decided to go on a hiatus, maintaining Darkwood, but not actively developing anything new.
In the meantime, Darkwood has garnered a loyal fanbase. Years after release, there arent any games quite like Darkwood. With many of you anxious for a sequel, weve decided to do the unthinkable - hand over our baby to another studio. After a long time of searching, we think weve found the perfect partners for this: Ice-Pick Lodge and Hooded Horse.
Weve been fans of Ice-Pick Lodge since their debut Pathologic, which was an inspiration for Darkwood. IPL was originally based in Moscow, but after the invasion of Ukraine, they condemned Russias actions and moved out to Kazakhstan. They have a burning passion for unique games, and they share the same soft spot for Slavic Folklore and Misery. If anyone is capable of capturing the magic of Darkwood, its them.
Its possible that in the past year, Ive played games published by Hooded Horse the most. Their portfolio is focused mostly on strategy and tactical games, but they are expanding their reach. Their team is amazing, and their care for developers is tremendous. So much so that weve decided to hand the publishing of the first Darkwood on PC over to them.
So, what is Acid Wizard Studios role in this? We are not taking an active part in development. Instead, we are consulting with Ice-Pick Lodge and Hooded Horse on a regular basis, making sure the sequel stays true to the original.
Enough yapping! Feast your eyes on the announcement trailer:
Please keep in mind that the game is still in development. Weve already received a lot of positive feedback from you, but also concerns about the art style change. Fret not! We hear you and we can confirm that Ice-Pick Lodge has already made significant progress in recreating Darkwoods unique aesthetic.
