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.

Great game to enjoy with friends or even alone, it's been a joy watching this game start out from humble and simple beginnings to now growing into what it has become today. The amount of effort, thought, dedication and passion that has gone into this project is remarkable and inspiring. Thank you to all of the Devs who worked on this beautiful game, it was a pleasure trying out what The Woods had to offer at the time of me joining and it's been wholesome to watch this project slowly turn into the vision that the team saw from the start of development. Another thank you to the rest of the Bug Testing team, it was lovely working alongside some of you and I'm so proud and thankful to everyone involved!

This game is quite relaxing and fun right now, I don't want to be mean with this review as its still in Early Access and it seems that the devs still have some work to do.
I like how the game looks, it has its own unique artstyle that keeps it from being too similar to The Forest, I like the atmosphere, the trees swaying in the wing and the random noises that had me turing my head to see if anything was following me.
Gathering resources is fun, I did have some issues trying to find Aloe Vera since it blends in with the environment, but I had no issues with gathering the other resources like Ivy and Sticks.
The Building in the game still needs improvement, as it is a little difficult to connect parts of a house to each other and only being able to carry one Log at a time is tedious. There is a way to join the Logs together but everytime I go to pick them up, I end up only grabbing one log.
I recommmend this game to those who liked The Forest, also other resource gathering and survival games.

Decent first time survival crafting game. Pretty straight forward for player direction and objectives.
