Darkwood - Official Soundtrack 

Respect the woods. Be patient. Focus.

In fucking credible game. No horror games have ever come close to scare me as much as Darkwood did. Not Soma, Outlast, Cry Of Fear, Stalker games, F.E.A.R, Amnesia, NONE. Truly a life experience type of game. The lore is amazing, games like these have a strange feeling of realness to them (despite the fact that its completely fictional) and it impacts you in real life. Easily in my all time favorite games. Incredible. Do not let the top down perspective fool you, trust me.

Hearing "New Dawn" as you rebuild your hideout after a night of monsters gave me a feeling like no other.

This game touches your soul.

This game with all its components (atmosphere, music, visuals) manages to nail so many things right to capture this heavy, cold and harsh soviet fairytale. The words "fever dream" seems more appropriate to describe it. In the end it's cause quite the opposite effect on me (mb because im slavic myself). Decaying villages, that drowning in time and grass, people, which live out their last days in them. It's too real even without surrounding forest. It brings not saddness or depression, but bittersweet melancholy, atleast for me. It's feels so dear and warm, like part of your soul, that's you never knew was there. And the game awoke those feelings and experiences. The ambience in the "road to home" makes me tear up, it's feels so nostalgic somehow. Didn't know that i will find one of my favorite games so far in my life. Im really glad that there are people in this industry who main goal still is expression. It gives me hope and inspires me. Thank you Acid Wizard!

Darkwood is one of those artistic works which leave something inside you after you get finished of them, something might be good, bad, strange, or beautiful. Darkwood is not transient, it stays with you and will lie in your memory for a long time, you will not forget the main theme music, the sounds of wind and wooden doors, the screams of Black Chompers, and the conversations with the wolf. Darkwood is not a video game but an experience, an excellent experience which has the ability to occupy special parts of your soul and mind.

A true masterpiece from the very first second to the last one...After more than a year i still don't know how they made a game like this. You know...i never thought i would get again such a "connection" with a game nowdays except the golden gaming days (ps1-2, xbox 360...). I am pretty sure it will stay forever in my heart. Thank you AcidWizardStudio for not only this game but also for restoring my faith in todays games. We NEED developers like you whose priorities are actually the games and not the money.

Darkwood is one of the BEST horror games I'v ever played

The Doctor, fearing the revenge of a man dressed in a scarecrow costume, disappeared deep into the wilderness. The unfathomable visions of daughter's disappearance that haunted him eventually drove the local physician to the edge of insanity. In the end, however, they became obvious transmissions of electricity signals... and the forest became his new home. - Bliss ending transcript for Doctor.

Darkwood music has this perfect mix of unsettling-suspense and comforting-calm that I find it hard to explain. I just think of this overcast day walking down a dirt path coming back from the forest. The sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling can leave one with a feeling of serenity, sometimes even that of a trance. You're cold, weak and hungry, dirty due to being exposed to the elements, but you finally found a path. On this path you notice several dilapidated stone cottages abandoned in times past. The thoughts emerge of how the families once lived in these uninhabited structures. Many filled with love, some with despair. For what reason were they abandoned? Did the residents move on to something better, or perhaps were they forced out against their will? Did they succumb to natural causes? It's interesting to imagine. Somehow the air of the forest is peaceful yet menacing and heavy as you realize you have been lost for hours, maybe it could be days, but at least you found a path that looks trekked by someone, or perhaps cleared by *something*. Soon you become delirious from exhaustion as you havent brought enough food to last and the forest starts to twist and take shape of your most grotesque fears. You then pass out and awaken to find yourself sleeping in the middle of a field-- the sky is bright and the sun shining, and while you feel the warmth kiss your skin, there is a shiver--- You look around and see robed figures before blinking to emerge in darkness. Cold, tired, and hungry, you feel the gaze of the trees, and whatever lie beyond. Do you remember entering the forest?

I agree with another comment I read here; Darkwood is an experience, not just a survival horror game. The music, the graphics, its line-of-sight mechanics, the creatures and descriptions... they all mesh together to make something that is bigger than its parts. The crafting system is also one of the few I actually enjoyed using.

Listen to this while working on my math exam paper... Exactly matched the feeling of me struggling in these bloody math problems.

this game was such a great experience

Road to home hit me especially. I just felt sad for the stranger, he’s been through so much yet he achieved literally nothing in the end..

I just finished the game and spread the word about it as much as I can. It's an incredible experience worth anyone's time.

the amazing thing about this game is that even if the horror elements won't scare you, the way all the people react to the things happening is scary because for something so bizzare happening their reactions to it feel completely natural. Everyone is either insane, dying or completely hopeless and anyone who adapted to the woods feels like a careless alien

When I am in my darkest hours. When all my hopes and objectives in life seem to vanish behind a walling veil. I can not find rest in sleep, and I stay awake in the most dreaded hours, reviving the things that keep me down and depressed. It is an infernal cycle. I only find peace in lying down on the ground and listening to such music, stressful and horrifying sounds, who match my thoughts. This game embodies perfectly the loneliness I have to face sometimes. And that's why I love it so much.

Darkwood is a game where you KNOW the very ground you walk on hates you

The feelings hearing this while I see the art of Zdzislaw Benksinski are indescribable...

I love falling asleep to this.

One hell of a game. A constant defiance with an obscure yet interesting plot which core is not only the fear to the unknown, or the beast thar lurks inside the mind, but also the ancestral fear to one of the most mysterious and dark places to humans: the forests.

This track bleeds of atmosphere.

11:40 the PTSD

48:20 remembered me so many scaring and hard nights... Especially the one in the last hideout, with shadows, 3 banshees and 2 red chompers. Can't believe I survived that night especially

There is something very relaxing about Darkwood soundtrack

Every night feels like your first night in Minecraft when You were a Little kid BUT ON STEROIDS. The soundtrack ESPECIALLY new dawn highlights the short lived happiness You have when You finish the night but realise You gotta do it again next time. Its fantastic. Such a masterpiece

One of the best horror games that I have ever played! The setting, the story, the characters (Wolf, Musician, Piotrek, Mushroom Granny etc), gameplay, mechanics, ambiance, atmosphere, OST, enemies, weapons, items,Dreames, choices to be made and the consequences of them. No game has ever had me on the edge of my seat as much as this one and replay-ability!

Darkwood is such a good terror game. No jumpscares or cheap thrills, just the pressure of scavenging supplies during the day and retreating back to your home base, then at night it can't get more intense with the waves of various monsters from savages to mutated bugs and the supernatural. The way the environments are designed are also very visually appealing.

Really amazed how a top-down 2D game can be so terrifying!

Road to Home is so wonderful! (and Darkwood too)

Im spreading DarkWood existence to my mates. To date this is the best horror game I played. There was some issues but it nails all the cords of the horror: despair, flesh, unknown, scares, disgust... Above all a constant misery looming ontop of mankind and the world that nobody can understand and grasp. I will never forget "my holes" !!!

🔥🔥🔥WE MAKIN IT OUTTA THE OLD WOODS WITH THIS ONE 💯💯💯💰💰💰💰💰

god the nighttime seriously gets to me. ever since i got the watch and can see the time pass i just sit there, bear traps at the doors, plank of wood in hand, whispering "2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10..." over and over again until morning comes or something breaches defense, which i then have the most hair-raising fights as i attempt to batter whatevers come to get me. And then the deep sigh of relief as my screen fades to white... yeah theres nothing quite like the experience of fear and tension that this game gives you

You won't be led by the hand.

I think intro is probably in my top 3 of this ost

I am very fond of this OST. Quiet mornings before work makes me think about it.

Sometimes Indie games are better than games made by large companies.

Thank you so much for uploading this.

I saw the game movie of this game some months back and the endings, either one, are very depressing. Loved every minute of it and the good ending.

The menu music says it all, endure and survive, don't lose hope and make it out of this hellhole.

My respect to the creator/s of this master piece

Thanks for uploading ! I just finished the game yesterday and listening to this helps dealing with that crazy ending.

Akurat trafiłem na 666 lajków. Pozdrawiam ludzi żyjących nostalgią po przejściu tej gry.

The whole score is god damned outstanding and be pleased with your exclusive status of having heard it as sadly, most humans will never will.

Its trully amazing when the game slowly absorbs you with its climate and atmosphere, this is one of these, and remember... Respect the Woods and look for the morning 😉🌄

one of my favorite games of all time,the feeling of not knowing a thing about the game,you finding out how things work,and the panic that is surviving the night....awesome

I keep returning to this over and over for the past 2 years

Extremely underrated and beautifully stylized art, as well as atmospheric and immersive gameplay. It takes you into another world.

This game is just special in so many ways. Also best horror game since Silent Hill 2.

Honestly one of my top favorite games of all time. Just beautiful.

This and Silent Hill 3 are the best horror games ive ever played. They are truly masterclasses in horror games

Truly, all roads lead deeper in to the forest

thanks for sharing Alae Mortis

New Dawn is just on another level, fam

untitled 2 triggers my fight or flight response

The only bad thing about Darkwood is that it's hard for youtubers to translate the horror since it's fundamentally tied to the act of controlling your character itself, so the only real way to embrace the full horror is to play it yourself... which kinda defeats the whole purpose of finding a youtuber playing it to cower behind haha

Platinumed this a year or more ago. Back doing a Nightmare run currently. Up there in my top 10 games I've played on PS4.

one of those games that are a thrill to play and you cant get enough of.......... but youre also glad once its done and youre out of the forest

The weddind is the scariest thing i have ever seen in games.

Droga do Domu (Road To Home) goosebumps. so ethernal

Beautiful

Work of art

End of the night hits me like a wave of rain during a monsoon.

this game left a mark in my soul that i will never forget. Best game of all time.

the wedding drum is so F ominous

Uno de los mejores videojuegos de todos los tiempos. Infravalorado One the best game ever. Underated

small trivia: the dudes released the game on piratebay, basically the steam version is just a humble 'you deserve money for this masterpiece'

not any single silent hill or resident evil game i played has that level of atmosphere i had experienced in darkwoods when i played it for the first time back then~ my number one survival horror recommendation always be darkwood

What a great game, also love how the main theme is a heart beat, foreshadowing the truth of the forest

The only game that really scared me... and I will not forget the woods

Don’t be afraid...don’t be afraid. It was just a dream. Hope you enjoyed it, for it may be the last you may ever have. It is getting dark out there, do you not hear them? The horrors from the spreading darkness. They want to welcome you to these dim dark woods...

Put this on streaming services

good music, love it

I got a headache and stomachache while listening to this. Świetnie, how fitting. But really, this is a very good soundtrack.

just a lil tip for new comers, that wood eating skill is a lot more useful than i realized LOL. in later playthroughs im just a woodchipper. devouring every plank and log in my path. also play on nightmare if you've beaten the game at least once, makes it so much more fun. *also dat true ending man...tears were shed. the kind that was quiet and contemplative.

New Dawn sounds very reminiscent of Brad Fiedel's Desert Suite from Terminator 2 score. Also I can hear Some Thomas Newman's influence there.

I freakin love this game! Yes, meat?

The best top down, pixel, horror game ever. Simply perfection.

Untitled 2 left a mark on my soul that is there forever

Thanks for the upload! Also, nice work on the video! This is my favorite game ever, I think. If you guys don't know the story well, do research on the wiki. The story is my favorite part, I think.

One of the best indie games. Love its lore, music, art style. You learn and game become easy after 20-30 hours. But this first hours of exploring and diyng bcs of dogs is the fun time

It's one very frustrating game to play, but it was one hell of a ride. I don't know if I will try a second playthrough, but I was so happy to play it at least once.

I wish I never played Darkwood, so I can play it for the first time once more.

This entire comment section is like metacritic review page.

Read a "Snail on the Slope" by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, while listening "Green People". God damn it, what an atmospheric masterpiece is OST of this game. Still want to find correct contacts of Artur Kordas, to write him thanks for this unbelivebly amazing work.

I wish this was on Spotify. Well the playlist is there but no music.

I love this game. On my first play through it took my about 56 in-game days to complete because I didn't want to fight another red chomper with the limited resources I had. I was finally brave enough to go explore the unknown a bit farther and found much more that I had hoped for, with that, my base was overstocked with so many resources and I had to take multiple journeys through the perilous woods to obtain all the items to satisfy my greed. The soundtrack was amazing. I would mistake some of the sounds in the game for a sound in real life.

I think that at the moment when you die...you will hear 20. End of the Night.........and after that......New Dawn.

Одна из лучших хоррор игр, которые играл!

This game is marvelous

amazing game

The only thing that made jump were the bear traps :D still the best horror game in my opinion in terms of atmosphere. Play game, get creeped out, pause, breathe, and jump back in.

They need an isometric mmorpg like this where you group up and barricade up with people with quests and open world

Как же нагнетающе и страшно...

track 17, Voices, has got to be the most terrifying one

why isn’t this masterpiece on spotify?!

this is very good drawing music

A.ma.zing. Respect the forest. Listen to Kordas.

I'm DM'ing for the first time tomorrow doing a horror one-shot that I created, partly inspired by this game, and heavily inspired by this game's feel and aesthetics. Wish me luck! I'm going to be using this as background music.

My favorite horror game of all times
