During daylight, players have the opportunity to explore the vast world of Darkwood, searching for weapons and materials. However, as the sun sets, players are forced to find a secure hiding spot, defend themselves, and use the resources they have gathered to confront or evade the eerie creatures lurking in Darkwood.
