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.

High!

The response to our demo and our campaign in general has been overwhelmingly positive and it's so great to chat to you, get your feedback and watch people playing our game in person and on YouTube.

But it is no secret that we have some tough days ahead to cross the finish-line, so we are now making our Through the Woods demo free to everyone who wanders across our Kickstarter page. Feel free to share this with your friends who have'nt yet been convinced to back the campaign, ask them to try out the demo for themselves, if they dare. ;)

Please enjoy!
