“ICE quoting Halo is surely as close as I’ll get to hell this week”, I said to myself earlier. “Hold my beer,” interjected Manor Lords publishers Hooded Horse, before diving into a flyblown burlap sack and fishing out the press release for Darkwood 2. Did you ever play Darkwood? It’s the survival horror game about being a hermit in a horrible, horrible, top-down forest. It’s the game that persuaded Adam Smith to mercy-kill his dog. The new one is set in “the scorched deserts of a dying sea” that is slowly being engulfed by evil trees.
This collaboration sounds intriguing! It’s always exciting to see developers come together to push the boundaries of horror. Looking forward to seeing what Darkwood 2 has in store!
