Manor Lords publisher Hooded Horse partners with Pathologic's developer for Darkwood 2, a surprise sequel to one of the scariest games.

I vividly remember my cousin climbing up a ladder, then getting jumpscared by Alma, who had conveniently positioned herself at the top. A man with shredded clothes then lumbered towards us: we screamed, dropped the controller, and ran downstairs into the arms of my auntie. I've never played F.E.A.R since, and my tolerance for the best horror games has since been relatively low.

Now, eight years later, Darkwood 2 has emerged from the shadows, but it's not developed by the original team.
