‘Darkwood’ Fully Funded, Dev Reveals Stretch Goals
Acid Wizard Studios’ Darkwood reached its $40,000 funding goal today, with nearly a week to spare. They’re going to use the extra time their Indiegogo campaign has left (6 days) to see if they can’t achieve a handful of stretch goals that include DLC, a New Game+ mode, additional translations, and even multiplayer.
Darkwood is one of the cooler indie horror games on the horizon, with its procedurally generated world that’s different every time you play. It looks absolutely terrifying, so I’d very much like to see them succeed.
Darkwood may have achieved its funding goal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help them reach their stretch goals, too. You can do so by donating to their Indiegogo campaign, and you can also help the game get distribution on Steam Greenlight here.

The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
