Darkwood 2 announced!

NO FUCKING WAY

There is a gaming god. Wasn't sure this one was ever going to happen. The first is one of the best survival horror games of all time.
 
I expect it to come out within a few weeks since it says "soon"

Not sure why they did not get it out before Halloween, perhaps they tried.
 
Some day, I need to replay the first game. One of the best survival horror of all time.

I didn't expected a sequel. Different developer, yeah, but...it's Ice-pick Lodge. So it can be still great.

Holy crap, this is the last thing I expected. I own so many copies on various systems of Darkwood. Consider me sold on Darkwood 2

Different dev I see…..
Not familiar with the studio though I have heard of the Pathologic games.

"In consultation with the Acid Wizard team" gives me hope. Don't screw this up people.
 
Even though Pathologic 2 is a masterpiece with a great art design, this here looks like a cheaply made side project(which it probably is).

A far cry from the beautiful visuals of the original Darkwood
 
huh, I couldnt ever get into the first one. The top down perspective kinda killed immersion for me. Maybe I should give it one last go?
 
I was not in the mood for Darkwood 1's spoopyness at the time I tried it.

But the fact that Ice Pick Lodge is making this is real intriguing. Pathologic 2's tone is singular (of all the games I've played), and I believe they'll nail what they're going for with Darkwood 2.
 
Polish devs giving away their baby to Russian devs... yikes. I mean in theory anything should be better than not releasing another game, but yikes again.

I tried it a long time ago, but couldn't get into it or just didn't have the time.
I need to revist that as it seems to have a lot of people that loved it
The ambiance (headphones recommended if you can take it!) combined with the player character being able to see only what is in front of him makes a tense atmosphere.
 


This is awesome! The first one is a supreme horror game, deeply disturbing and terrifying. Can't recommend it enough.

this is excellent news. Darkwood is excellent and left me wanting more. I hope to see Ice Pick move it into new directions.
 
I own the first one on GOG. It was when all proceeds went to Ukraine.

First game is great.

Slavs are great at creating interesting beautifully miserable worlds and stories.

That's a compliment.
 
This was unexpected. Looks good. First one was crazy hard I never could get very far. Maybe I should try again. It honestly was kind of creepy, which was surprising.
