The Woods
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…

This game is amazing! I definitely recommend this for other people as it is very addictive and fun to play with a large variety of things to do and a huge map. I would love to see how far this game will get.

For a game in Early Access, this game is not that bad at all. It’s pretty clean with very few bugs, and the building system is surprisingly good for an indie game made by a small team. A friend gifted it to me so we could play together, and after playing I honestly think that for a $10 USD game it’s worth the price. I’m keen to see how it grows during Early Access.

For the price, it's a decent game. Just needs a little polishing here and there, haven't encountered any game breaking bugs. Just minor QoL suggestions.

Reviewing at 6.4 hours in.
The Woods , is a survial craft game and has elements simular to other games ; food / water management , hunting, gathering , building. you will need to get on food and water ASAP to avoid dieing,
It appears to be inspired by The Forrest , had has elements you will like if you had played it.
I'm a causal player and i struggle with some of the combat but others used to this kind of game won't have any issue, there is a peacefull mode if you want , you won't get any hostile mobs but your food comes down to musrooms , berries and mostly chasing down rabbits. you will have a better experince on normal .
There is multiplayer , although i havent tried it yet , but others who i know have the game say its good,
I am running linux ( bazzite ) and the game does have a long launch time at first launch , so wait it out while stuff happens in the background this improves by next launch , you may need to enable compatiblity. overall runs well ,however it not ready for steamdeck as yet because controller support is still being worked on.
Graphicly game looks great , almost all the models are unique and look well.
Blueprint system is good and easy to follow.
Crafting is ok , it runs in the background so you can que a item(s) to be made and be vigalent of on coming mobs.
This game is in active devolpment by a small dev team, they activly are looking at suggestions and at least one of mine have gone into a update, Dev team is very active and I feel this is going places.
Overall game is good , give it a go.

I have only played for a short time but I will say it is a nice solid foundation that a really good game could evolve from. The gators and boars are brutal and hunger drains really fast, but when not fighting for my life against them the game is very relaxing and so far runs very well on my system. I look forward to updates and development.
