Of course!! Thanks for sharing your game with us.
really, really good! creepy atmosphere and great sound design. all the cues were pretty unexpected and the monster was very unexpected (i thought it'd be a vampire). great game!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it
Excuse me? I'll have you know he Has a wife, two kids and another one on its way, so your comment is highly inappropriate >:(.
Ps. Thanks for playing my game!
I'll smash your profile picture too
Hey, thanks for playing, loved your vid!
Thank you for playing and your feedback!
Happy to fren
Liked that quite a bit, walking in the forest was very unsettling and the ghost scared the soul out of me on that little ravine. So, this being your first time using Godot Engine is pretty impressive, you did great! Your game starts at exactly 7:00 on my video.
Thank you for playing and your feedback!
Thank you for playing!
Not bad. Nice little short horror game.
Thank you for playing!
This Was Really Good. Nice Work

I love this game and I would like to volunteer to translate them into Turkish so that my Turkish friends can play them. How can I contact you?
Thank you, but i'm not planing on translating the game. Maybe in my next projects
Thank you for playing!

Great game! Yours is the second video:)
Thanks for playing! I've enjoyed your video!
Thanks for playing! Loved your reactions :)
I thought the game was good and I liked the vampire vibes I was getting with the end monster with the coffin. Hope to see more.
Thanks for playing! I don't think I managed to scare you :D. What is the scariest game in your opinion?
Horror game wise I would say Alien Isolation, but in general Rust also scares me. XD
Thanks for playing! I enjoyed your video!
Thank you for playing! BTW. The coffin was in the second room ;)
Ah it appears I had the wrong room
Good Job
Thank you for playing!
Loved the game. The title was a great description of what was to come those woods were definitely dark 😂 Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for playing my game! I really need to add a brightness slider. I adjusted it, but some people really can't see anything :).
Nice game, loved exploring it!
Thank you for playing and your kind words!
I love the concept i had some good jumps 5/5 from me
Thank you for playing! I've enjoyed your video!
your very welcome love the game and thank you so much
Interesting concept. I mention it in the video, but I think I would have liked snippets of poems as we do the candles, or a more engaging ending that is explained a bit better. I like what's done, just wish the story felt a bit more solid! Linkeda the time played.
Thank you for playing my game!
I see you played version 1.1 in which there was a minor bug making it difficult to find the key so that might have been the cause of the confusion :). Additionally, in version 1.2 I changed the intro a bit to guide the player to approach the car because there you can read the whole poem.
As for the snippets of the poem, that was actually my initial idea but it didn't really work so I gave up on it.
Overall, thank you so much for your comments, I have taken them to heart and will perhaps implement some! <3
Ahh I can definitely see how that direction would be good - I must have missed the poem at the car if it was in the version I played, which is unfortunate but I'll probably just check it out solo to read the poem! It felt like such a strange thing not being able to read the rest!! :o
Overall not a bad experience at all!! I like the ideas you were working with!
I really enjoyed this game. Some parts I got confused and lost but very spooky! your game is Second and starts at 10:33
Thank you so much for playing, I really enjoyed your video! I need to work on how to guide the player through the level :)
This person stole your game and is passing it off as their own (along with games from many other creators). https://localbreaker222.itch.io/darkest-woods
Thank you so much for letting me know! I've already report them. Please don't download anything from his site as it might contain a virus
No problem :) And their page has been pulled now it seems!
Hello, I will be playing this live tonight 11/10 around 630 PM EST =)
Exciting! I'll try to show up!
Some good level design! Keep it up
Love your energy! Thank you for playing!
This was a fun little game! I enjoyed getting lost in the forest!! Here is my gameplay!!
Buhbababudububu! Noone seems to understand what the voice on the radio says :D.
Thank you for playing!
Such a fun, creepy little game. Very spooky 10/10
Thank you very much for playing! I enjoyed your commentary!
Comments below clip:
Any wood should be comforting to us, as green pastures are supposed to instill a sense of peacefulness in our solace, sorry souls. So we wander and trot onward through the rain-soaked density of trees and darkness. To what end? Is there any?
Didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags [besides getting a bit lost :o]
Kudos to all involved.
Thanks for playing! I must say it was a walk in the park for you :D
Very much so :o]
absolutely loved your game keep up the excellent work
Thanks man, I loved you commentary. Had a few good laughs.
I love it. Really good work! Great atmosphere, sounds and creepy poem! Waiting for your next game!
I did a video on my channel (Spanish). Hope you like it.
Thank you for playing! Loved your reactions! I already have an idea for my next game so stayed tuned!
I will! hehe
Thank you for playing and recording!
I really enjoyed your playtrough! Thank you for your comments, I will add them to the ToDo list.
Tolle Atmosphäre, die Soundeffekte und Jumpscares haben echt super gesessen ;) Gut gemacht!!!
Thank you! I really enjoyed your video!
Absolutely phenomenal!
The atmosphere in this game is terrifying and super retro. Very reminiscent of an actual PSX style era and even with the story being so short, ambiguous and tense, the gameplay delivers on every level. No bugs, no performance issues (which is very often a problem with Godot games recently) - everything was great!
Best of luck with the future games and if this is your first project, judging from the profile, I got to say - impressive mate, truly impressive. Cheers!
Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
