Norse Inspired Horror Gaming ⋆

The game Through the Woods still doesn’t have a release date to the day, but the highly anticipated horror game is no more than thirty-one days away!

Through the Woods

Through the Woods is a successful Kickstarter campaign for a 3^rd-person horror game about a mother searching for her missing son in a forest in Norway. You play as Karen who is being interrogated about her missing son. The story unfolds as she retells her story.

The setting is heavily influenced by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales which develops a sense of dread instead of the usual jump-scare tactic. At night, your only source of light is the moonlight and a flashlight. The trailer below shows a very narrow sense of direction. Atmosphere is going to be everything.

Through the Woods is slated to be released sometime in October, just in time for Halloween!

I read, I write, I play videogames, Ghostbusters is my favourite thing in the known universe, but quasars come in at a close second. I've been known to cry at the drop of a hat over happy and sad things alike. I've also been known to fly into a rage if things don't go my way, leading to many a fight in high school and breaking someone's nose on the TTC one time. I'm an anxious introvert but also a loud-mouthed bad influence. Especially on my cat. He learned it from watching me, okay!
