About the Game

Explore. Escape. Survive.

Aiden is a 10 year old boy who lives in the woods with his sister and father. Growing up, the siblings had one simple rule that could not be broken- don't go into the woods, or else the monsters would get them. But one day, a strange creature lures Aiden's sister into the dark and he gives chase to rescue her.
Discover the secrets of the woods as you control Aiden. Find your sister and escape the woods as you survive, craft tools, and explore.

Features
  • Explore the beautiful woods and surrounding areas that may not be as dark as Aiden was led to believe...
  • Basic hunger and thirst system
  • Simple crafting system where you make tools to advance through the woods
  • Meet unique, colorful creatures and help them with their problems
  • Collect files to unravel the truth of the woods
  • Find hidden items to boost your stamina for easier exploration

Meet Wild Characters
Along the way, you'll meet several unique creatures such as...
  • A BIG and beautiful momma bear and her teenage son
  • A bat with an inflated sense of self-worth
  • A lazy queen ant with her workers on strike
  • A cocky fish who's too big for his pond
  • An elegant swan with a familiar voice
  • A boar with a WILD personality
  • And maybe a few more completely normal critters
  • Also nothing sinister at all

Notes:
- this game deals with themes of child abuse and neglect and may be unsettling for some players.
