Plot

A group called "The Outsiders," primarily composed of government officials and soldiers was dispatched to explore the woods. They established hideouts and tunnels to enter and exit the forest.

The game's plot is primarily conveyed through environmental storytelling, with clues and hints scattered throughout the world. As the player explores the forest and uncovers secrets, they begin to piece together the story of what happened to Darkwood and its inhabitants.
