I'm in a similar boat. Because I am a ball of anxiety attacks I don't enjoy the jumpscare fest that horror gaming is nowadays. But I was able to get through this game because it's more of a thriller, building up tension rather than just popping out and going "boo!". It's always cheap as shit, so I'd HIGHLY reccomend picking it up if you were interested ✌️💜
Love this style of video and the concept of the channel. I am not going to lie I am not super into horror games but you make these videos very interesting. Can’t wait to see more!
Gotta love that indomitable human spirit: It doesn't matter what horrific nighmare from beyond you are and it doesn't matter that you will ultimately be my end because I die content in the knowledge that I'm taking you along to the grave with me
Hell Yeah 🔥🔥🐉 That's how we became the strongest animal. Reminds me of the quote "courage is the greatest virtue, because without courage, no other virtue can be practiced"
Amazing video, just kinda sad that you didn't mention what happens to the musician if he survives. Still great video about a great game (as a Polish person I can confirm everything that happens in game is real)
Great video and an amazing continuation to the series. I felt it was an improvement from the first one with a more cohesive narrative and smoother transitions. Also, not having played the game, it did a pretty good job terrifying me with its story and leaving me questioning about the parts of its lore yet to be uncovered. Excited to see where we go next! 😊❤
You do not have to complete the dreams nor do you need to spare the tree to find the true ending, I got it despite failing some of the dreams and burning the tree as I explored the basement of the apartment building and clicked on some of the other apartments and saw hints that something wasn't right.
Darkwood is as close to perfect as one can get for an isometric game. Visual story-telling, story telling through objects and locations rather than exposition dumps, constant mixes of science fiction and psychological horror all combined in a tight rewarding combat package. I've replayed this game about five times and played it back in Alpha when only half of chapter 1 was available. I'm very happy to see many more videos exploring this absolute gem of a video game. Its truly genre defying, I find it difficult to compare it to any other title because it really strikes its own unique place in the realm of horror games. The closest thing to compare it to would be Russian literature.
Ever since my first horror game at 5 years old, I make it a habit to play scary games during Halloween season. The games I never fail to replay are Resident Evil 2 and 4, Silent Hill 1-4, Dead Space 2, Evil Within 1 and Darkwood.
Darkwood is easily one of the few games I genuinely can say is a 10/10. Like god, I'm no stranger to horror games, I've played some of the lesser silent hill games, outlast and whistle blower, RE4-8, as many fnaf games I could get my hands on. And plenty more cheap or free horror games. And only, and I mean only Darkwood has managed to prevent me from getting comfortable. Because that's what makes EVERY horror game no longer scary, you get familiar. And don't get wrong you do get familiar in Darkwood but, no matter how hard I tried each damn nightfall always genuinely filled with me dread, it may have lost some of its scare and terror. But I never stopped feeling somewhat afraid, constantly dreadful because no matter how strong I got, one dumb mistake would end me in actual moments
Alright, you've twisted my leg. I'll re-download and play through it again. I swear, Darkwood has a Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines effect where whenever I see a video on it, I'll play through it again 😂😂 Also, 7:15 the oven, as well as any other person or object that changes your screen has a hidden utility, forced auto saves. You can use the oven 10 minutes before night-time or a dangerous run in order to save your game in case you die. You can also use this in order to reset vendors as well. Just talk to them, quit, and reload and they will have all of their money and supplies restocked!
I have some points in chapter 'Dry Medow'. First night always is calm night, and always is for wolf man. He is not a character that will ever appear on mornings, only Trader. Trader is one that will have increase raputation for surviving night and have all things what you need to survive. Second, that banshee event in Dry Medow, is pretty rare. Very even to say so. I will add more things as i will watch, so i will give edits on things that will be a correction. Edit 1: A first dream. Is straight forward. Follow a sparkles on ground. In correct way should be bed on end of it and lead to option to sleep. The way is done is for going too far from road of Shiny Stones (with that worth 130 reputation points.) And ending dream right shound reward you one after waking up.
Working on a similar concept for a table top RPG to this called The Lost Places. Basically a Survival Horror Dungeon Crawler and Escape Room Found Footage Spooker. Where you play as an L.P. E.- Lost Places Explorer. Wheres you must capture 10 Key Scenes of the evidence of A.H.H. Anomlous Hazards and Hostiles. That have been rumoured to dwell there. Get you 10 Keys and Then find the Exit before Time Out. There is no turning back to the way you came in. If you do not escape And you are declared Absentia in that Lost Place adding to it's impentrable legend. Will your footage which you streamed live survive you ? Being your last will and testament ? Or will you live to Explore another Lost Place and gain credit in your Clout Account ? Building your own legend. With each exploration you risk your safey and sanity.
This game, man. Why am I supposed to feel sympathy for monsters? That's like hesitating to pull the trigger on a zombie. They aren't human anymore, they can not be saved.
The only one that I can really think of that is intentional is the connecting house between the first two areas. Everything else you can hear coming I'm pretty sure
god dammit mr. cosmic first you did it with dredge and now you're doing it again with darkwood I CAN'T WATCH THESE VIDEOS IF YOU MAKE ME WANT TO GO IN AND PLAY THEM BLIND MYSELF IN THE FIRST MINUTE ALONE
Man If Pyro made this video it would probably be like 8 and a half hours.
I'm pretty incapable of playing a game like this so I love digesting these videos about them so I can appreciate the genre!
It's a great immersive game if you can muster up the courage
Same here ❤

@@joshuapark4329I know that's true but unfortunately I just don't care for bird eye view games 😞😞
It put a smile on my face whenever i see a recent video about Darkwood, the game is a real hidden gem.
It really is...after seeing this video, wanna start a new playthrough
1:12:26 He said it, he said the word
Is this guy a Snnuy?
I take pleasure in watching such dedicated, hours long videos about this masterpiece of a game.
Love this style of video and the concept of the channel. I am not going to lie I am not super into horror games but you make these videos very interesting. Can’t wait to see more!
Cant wait to see this channel grow. Had to turn on the bell because this video went under my radar!
Keep rewatching this one i just lov that game so much and combined with ur voice? *chefs kiss*
Alone, beneath a tree, the Stranger awoke.
Upon realizing where he was, and what had occurred, he thought only one thing.
'It all must burn.'
I love you so much for branching out and expanding your content. Keep up the great work!

me first playthrough: elp im trapped in da scary wood 😢
second playthrough: IM NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME! 🪓🪓🪓
Amazing video, just kinda sad that you didn't mention what happens to the musician if he survives. Still great video about a great game (as a Polish person I can confirm everything that happens in game is real)
WAIT WHAT THE HELL I WASN'T RECOMMENDED THIS VIDEO, I love darkwood and you made an hour long breakdown of it?? Hell yeah
Love watching video game lore that I’ve never heard of and will never think about past this video
Time for another banger.

Normal day in Poland.
58:08 That's a delicious looking rosół
As a Polish man, I agree.
Just anouther Wensday
One of those games I cant properly play but still bought because of how good it is. Glad to watch videos like this
One of the best horror game. Nothing compare to this game atmosphere.
I watched it all and it's really impressive! good job man
Amazing video!
Small thing i noticed at 55:27 there are captions but no voice over, is this intended or missing audio?
I looooooove this so much! Well done
love your scripts man keep it up!

I saw this game as a cheap interesting horror game and bought it. It was far from what I expected, it is great.
The atmosphere is very great the imagery is very great 👍 👌

bro that's awesome

You may have left the darkwood, but the darkwood will never leave you
I fucking love watching anyone talk about Darkwood!! Bonus points if it’s over an hour long!!
The goat returned!
Just amazing, the game was too much for me and I just saw your video and wow the game is stunning. I will give it a try😅
Question, when in the context of this channel do we refer to you as Cosmic or is Sunny/Snnuy still good?
Might redownload and play again.
Not enough Darkwood content out there
A game where you Just want to Go home, pet your daggy, eat a bowl of soup and rest on your bed...
After I found the ak47 and made the big shotgun I became the monster.😂
Babe wake up MORE CONTENT
red chompers gotta be one of most mest up mosnters in horror game lore
i freaking love trees and wood and shit. that shit rocks is awesome as hell, or should i say "woods" haha :)
I’d recommend playing cultist simulator it has a lot of great themes that you can explore
I don't think this game has 0 jumpscare like it claim. One of the best horror game I played tho
The only one that I can really think of that is intentional is the connecting house between the first two areas. Everything else you can hear coming I'm pretty sure
poland simulator: a video essay
Okay I’m sorry but like, you sound exactly like Snnuy and it’s been driving me crazy. Are you one and the same person or just very similar voices?
This is so cool
Hp lovecraft would be so proud of this game
Darkwood best horror game (i haven’t finished it, i’ll return)
SUNNY HAS A SECOND CHANNEL???
The voice, it confused me at first,
Commenting for the algorithm
I LOVE DARKWOOD AND I LOVE YOU SUNNY 👆❤❤❤
FINALLY!
This reminds me of silent hill
ANOTHA BANGA
god dammit mr. cosmic first you did it with dredge and now you're doing it again with darkwood
I CAN'T WATCH THESE VIDEOS IF YOU MAKE ME WANT TO GO IN AND PLAY THEM BLIND MYSELF IN THE FIRST MINUTE ALONE
why no Signalis
You sound so much like Frappolo
Where asol
Another comment for the algo
shamellsy stolen from pyrocynical 4 month prior
This is like a paraphrased version of BeanBuddy's video
Let's gooooo
This video seems awfully close to BeamBuddies
Bro is not pyrocynical 😂
Nah bro the game is just boring
The disturbing mediocrity of Cosmic Hour.
Damn these ai channels
This games audio is phenomenal but its so honest to god BORING 😴
