The Road Home | DARKWOOD #darkwood #darkgame #gaming #scary

In horror survival game Darkwood:

Walking through the burnt out husk of the talking tree, the protagonist finally escapes the forest. After this entire journey, at long last, the way home. Traveling along this road, he will see others that tried and failed to make his same journey, people frozen in place by the white goo covered roots of the forest. They had made it so close to escaping the Woods.

A little bit further up the road, we see concrete and block houses, evidence of civilization. The neighbors look unsurprised to see the protagonist, or are even friendly to him for once. Hopscotch, a merry go wrong, signs of a regular boring life, and what the protagonist has been trying to get back to since the start of his ordeal. Finally, he had escaped, finally he would be able to rest once he got back to his apartment

This ending went crazy. I wonder when exactly did the protag get underground.

They’re not people stuck by goo but copies of people. You can find a copy of the hideout and which part you stay in most night after some time in the forest and most characters you meet are copy’s such as the Wolf man (my favorite no I’m not a furry) snail man, and merchant which is a copy of the main character before he traded his hazmat suit for a scarecrows coat and hat.

Lured to the being, the road home was a lie, a lie it spread, like the plage, like the forest, it tricks all into seeking it out

the merchant, our copy was right, all roads do lead deeper into the woods

Even the crippled man was lured, he said it himself he is at his home, he is at his house in what used to be the village
