Darkwood

A top-down survival horror game set in a strange, hostile forest. By day you explore, scavenge materials and weapons, and deal with the locals. By night you hole up in your hideout, barricade it and try to survive. The world is partly randomised and the mood is bleak and surreal. Is it your kind of game?
