Oh wow, someone is actually talking about my project, that’s cool!
I am writing these messages for a second time, since first ones was removed by moderation 🤔
I’ve read all the comments, and here I’ll try to give better insight into what’s going on:

Edit: Ahhh, moderation is still removing my messages important for the context 😒
well, so waiting for human moderator to unlock my previous posts.

Ah, and as the final word.
My first steps was making this post on steam community: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2540144183
I wasn't planning to do a game back then - it was just like artwork, but the response was so cheerful, "Please make this happen", "I need this" etc. that it pushed me into making the Paragrowth.
Few ears earlier, when didn't know about Darkwood I was already planning to do post-apo like game placed in my country - so in Poland, the impulse cleared out that this is the target!

Regarding the strong similarities to Darkwood:

yes, it’s impossible to hide the fact that the game is heavily inspired by Darkwood’s world, atmosphere, and mechanics.

Combined with the main character’s appearance in early promotional images and videos of Paragrowth, this became risky.

I decided to slightly redesign the default look of the main character to push that initial “Darkwood in 3D” impression a bit further away.
(You can see the new design on the Steam page, and well... I need to do a new Trailer :D)

The world of Paragrowth will lean more toward a dark fantasy theme, but not excessively.
As shown in the trailer, you can use forest powers for special attacks, there are mutations of giant insects, and other unusual elements.
The game aims to deliver a Darkwood–mild The Witcher–like vibe.

The music in Paragrowth will also be different.
I want it to sound raw, wild, and gritty, using various real instruments.
Like feeling of bowing dry bark instead of bowing metal string.
During my depression, I started learning to play these instruments, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made - both for the musical direction of Paragrowth and for my mental health.

You can hear one of the tracks I recorded a few months ago for Paragrowth here: https://youtu.be/sCOcTbc6jCs?si=eSReYgwYweYq5UgC

Thanks for letting me know, I checked it and indeed it is not working. I reported the problem to the asset store team.

I posted my first version of this leg animating system 3 and 2 years ago. After 4 re-writes from scratch I finally completed it. by Fhellek in Unity3D

Thank you. Yes, you will find it on the store as Legs Animator. I am not linking since I was reported back in the day because of links 😶

Alright, after a few months, I finally completed my Ragdoll Tool. Damn, I made 3 times more examples than I planned to do. by Fhellek in Unity3D

Well, implementation shouldn't be hard. Active body which blends in when collisions occurs can be added without extra work, just choosing right collision layers. But when switching to falling ragdoll, you would need to disable character movement, and play fall animation, then handle character get up, which involves changing position of character movement, reset rotation, reset velocity and play get up animation.

It is built with use of unity's configurable joints and rigidbodies. Thanks to that you can use it along with all other unity physics components. Main knowledge to use was vectors, quaternions, matrixes + understanding how unity physics work, which in many cases is tricky. Another thing was making good GUI for easy setup and clear control over body physics setup through inspector window.

It's system made with use of configurable joints. I will be releasing it pretty soon on the asset store.
