Darkwood distinguishes itself from other horror games by evoking a spooky mood without resorting to cheap jump scares. During the day, players must explore an open area filled with corrupted woodlands while scavenging for necessary supplies and tools. When night falls, though, they must defend their hiding place with traps and walls to keep off the scary animals lurking in the darkness.

Players are kept on edge by the game’s emphasis on psychological tension and strategic survival, which makes each night a test of fortitude and resourcefulness.
