Der Dunkle Wald
Der Dunkle Wald is a short narrative game made in Bitsy, set in an alternate 1980s world shaped by space race tensions. You play as a civilian scientist temporarily stationed on a remote military base. As strange signals begin to appear, you're faced with a choice that may carry unforeseen consequences.
The game was created during the Storytelling I module and is inspired by the themes of Lovecraftian horror as well as the Three-Body Problem series by Cixin Liu. It explores the Dark Forest theory and draws on ideas of cosmic fear, uncertainty, and the danger of contact with the unknown.
