Overview

About this game

Woodswalker is an entirely solo-developed first-person survival horror game in which you've just been hired as a night ranger in the Cook County forest preserves. You must frantically balance your own survival with saving the lives of the innocent campers under your domain.

Features

  • Frantic Gameplay - Throughout the night, the monster will become increasingly aggressive. You will have less and less time to read your messages, decide its importance, and make it to the light before your fate is sealed.

  • Many Secrets - Explore a detailed story through puzzle-solving. Use environmental clues and good thinking to unlock boxes, find new cassette tapes, enter hidden areas, and locate secrets.

  • A Dark, Wintry Atmosphere - Immerse yourself into the surroundings with attention to detail on sound and lighting.

  • Replayability - With 18 hidden achievements, a rich, secret-filled storyline, and maybe even a hidden difficulty, there is plenty to keep yourself busy with.
