Description
Through the Woods is a third-person Norse horror adventure set in a forest on the western shores of Norway that tells the story of a mother and her missing son. Through reactive narration, the player experiences the mother’s re-telling of the events surrounding her son’s disappearance. Players follow the path of a terrified woman who has forced herself to enter this terrible place for the sole purpose of finding her son, in a setting heavily influenced by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales.

With Through the Woods, Antagonist have captured the feeling of the forest as they saw it as children, with all the fear and mystery that comes from roaming through it alone. This is coupled with a powerful story and high quality sound design, which in the darkness of the forest becomes a core mechanic. Through the Woods is a profound experience that directly delivers the feelings of loneliness and loss in a terrifying place...
  • Explore stunning environments and experience stories inspired by Norse mythology, Norwegian art and nature
  • Uncover dark tales of the past and present through reactive narration
  • Creative use of light and darkness generates deceptive environments
  • A frightening journey accompanied by beautiful and grim sound design

Would love to actually play it.

Looks like a pretty game, but for whatever reason it crashes to desktop within thirty seconds of booting up, so I've no idea how it plays out.

Let down by bad voice acting

I've played only a few minutes of this game and watched a few more playthroughs on YouTube and I advice doing the same if you're considering a purchase. The bad voice acting ruins any possibly to take the games story seriously and switching it to Norwegian doesn't help. There's also very little in terms of gameplay. This really is a walk/jogging simulator. There are monsters to watch out for but there are no real puzzles and the monsters don't have much to them. Most of the time will be spent walking reading notes and walking again while listing to some of the most couldn't be bothered voice narration you will ever hear. All and all a lost potential. I hope the developers releasing something more engaging in the future, since there was defiantly some effort put here. Just not enough to save it from being a bore fest.

Nothing to see here, literately.

You will love this game if you enjoy blindly running around in a woods finding dead end after dead end and dying and dying and dying again it's the game for you but I hated it. To make this game even more frustrating it won't support a controller even though it should in the control settings but plug a controller in and the camera just spins wildly and you can't stop it I tried 2 wired and 2 blue-tooth pads but they all spun the camera this is a common problem just look online and some people even have this issue with just KB and mouse, totally unacceptable especially considering you only need 3 buttons to play the game. Thankfully I bought it cheap so I enjoyed deleting it from my HDD for ever!
