Through the Woods is a third-person psychological horror game set in a forest on the western shore of Norway about a mother and her missing son. Through dynamic narration, you play the mother’s re-telling of the events surrounding her son’s disappearance in a setting heavily influenced by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales. With Through the Woods, the Norwegian indie studio is attempting to capture the forest as they saw it as children, with all the frightening and mysterious feelings of roaming the woods alone. This is coupled with a poignant story and high quality sound design that acts as a core mechanic in the darkness of the forest.

One of the many runes

We've managed to acquire a more skilled character artist who has helped us update the graphics. We've spent a lot of time checking out shaders and lighting settings and in general done lots of research about image effects in order to make the game look as good as possible.

Dark woods

It's a challenge making the visuals of the game because it's so dark, but it's important to the game that it is dark. We now feel like we've found a great balance where the player is able to scare themselves.

Something in the shadows

We're at GDC Play tomorrow in the North Hall, Booth #418 for anyone in San Francisco who wants to come visit us.

Oh man, I'm liking the cryptic symbols on that stone. Reminds me a little of the map in Owl Cave.

Thanks! It's actually inspired by rocks that exists in real life!
