Darkwood

Darkwood is Acid Wizard Studio's survival game set in a forest that has eaten a town. By day you scavenge buildings and manage a hideout's inhabitants; by night you barricade the door and listen, because whatever comes is never shown, only heard. It drops the combat-heavy survival formula in favor of dread, moral choices with no reset button, and an ending you earn by leaving.
