SOMETHING IN THE WOODS
A downloadable game for Windows
SOMETHING IN THE WOODS is a short horror game that places you in the shoes of a Police Officer on a fateful night. While driving down a desolate road, exhaustion compels you to stop at an isolated gas station for a cup of coffee. However, as you step inside, you look at a board with dozens missing person posters and wonder who or what could have done this. An eerie silence pervades the gas station, devoid of any staff or customers. You need to find out where everyone has gone.
It's getting dark, better hurry.
Average playtime: 10 minutes
RECOMMENDED TO PLAY WHEN IT"S DARK AND WITH HEADPHONES ON!

Bloodstained Trails in the Dark Forest 😱🌳This game was awesome! S03 | 9th Game
I enjoyed this one a lot! Loved the creepy atmosphere and you nailed the aesthetic!
The noises the creature made were also really unsettling, especially when it started crawling toward you.
Good luck with any future projects!
Thank you so much :)
Wonderful work. It's so hard these days to make an actual horror game since the genre is overly saturated but you sir/madam have done an amazing job with this game.
The atmosphere and gameplay are simply brilliant. I might even play more of on stream at one point.
Thanks for the game and best of luck in your future works
Thank you so much kind sir for this wonderful comment, really.
Camping GONE WRONG!

Havia pensado que tinha colocado nos comentários da página a minha gameplay para avaliarem há 7 meses atrás, mas como não tinha sido feito, vou deixar abaixo a jogatina para quem tiver interesse
i liked the simplicity of it, nice and simple. also, great writing. it made it super easy to stay in character/stay immersed in the story, while also leaving room for improv. keep making games, i like your style.
Thank you so much for such kind words man
really good, would love to see more from the dev
Thank you kind sir.

SOMETHING IN THE WOODS: Eres un agente de policía conduciendo por una carretera desolada, el cansancio te obliga a detenerte en una gasolinera aislada para tomar un café, sin embargo al entrar un silencio inquietante invade la gasolinera, sin personal ni clientes ¿Dónde han ido todos? Gracias por crear el juego, saludos!!!!
