Maciek is a major character in Darkwood.
He is first mentioned in Chapter 1, where the Note - desertion #1 in Old Woods Hideout establishes that he was one of the Outsiders operating in the Old Woods. The journal further explains that Maciek was slowly going insane, and eventually stole a flamethrower and disappeared into the woods.
He can then be found during the Epilogue in the True Ending as a mostly naked (he appears to be wearing dogtags), emaciated Sleeper clutching the aforementioned flamethrower. The player has to forcefully take this Flamethrower from him in order to kill The Being. He will then pursue the player and attack them unless he is burnt to death. He will die in the fire with the other Sleepers and the Protagonist.
Dialogue[]
The man mumbles in his sleep. He's emaciated and dirty, but his face is radiant and calm. He clutches a rusty object covered with old beads. Some weapon?
The man is talking in his sleep. These are only snippets of sentences, single words, spoken gently and slowly. It's hard to find any meaning in them...
- Push the figure
Without opening his eyes, the man clumsily waves his hand at me, then covers his head with it and freezes.
- Try to take the metal item from the man
The man waves his hand again. This time he grabs my arm. Without opening his eyes, he turns his head towards me.
I recognize him. He's one of us.
- Try to snatch the item from the man's hands
The man clenches his teeth with the fury of a maniac. Saliva flows from his mouth.
- Hit the man and grab the item
- Let go of the item and leave
Trivia[]
- The Protagonist recognizes him as 'One of our own', all but stating that Maciek is a member of the Outsiders.
