5.  Through the Woods

Through The Woods Teaser Video

Karen Dahl recounts the story of her missing son Fillip Dahl Eriksen. The story is told as a voice-over flashback. She tells her story to Christian Petersen, whose identity is currently unknown on the demo.

He asks her to tell him about Old Erik. She says she didn’t believe in Old Erik. She thought he was a myth, a bogeyman to scare naughty children. That is, until she saw Old Erik take away her son.

To save him, she has to go to the island to where he was taken.

Karen tells her story as you control her in third person point of view. As she walks through the forest, she gives us clues. She uses the reflectors placed by Old Erik to lead her in the right direction and also uses stones on the island as reference points to remind her where she is in her story.

It is worth noting that there is a playable demo for this game. It is in alpha, so it may not resemble the finished project. I downloaded and played the game and have to say that I really like where they are going with it.

With only a flashlight, Karen must find her son and conquer Old Erik.
