About the Game

Midnight At Camp Ashwood is a first-person psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, mystery, and environmental storytelling. If you're into audiobooks and exploration this game is for you.

You arrive at an abandoned woodland camp just after all 15 kids and 6 counselors  mysteriously vanish. The buildings are empty. The fire pits are cold. The trails are still. But the forest is not silent.

As night falls, strange sounds echo between the trees. Audio diaries reveal fragments of fear, paranoia, and obsession. The deeper you explore, the more the camp itself seems to watch you.


There is no combat.
Only tension, discovery, and the slow realization that you are not alone.

Developer note: Built by a solo developer using AI as a tool—Just a dude making fun games.

AI helps me move faster, iterate harder, and build the kind of games I’ve always wanted to play. Every design choice, system, and final decision is human—AI just lets me make the games I want to play, faster.

KEY FEATURES

Explore cabins, trails, and forgotten camp structures in a dense, fog-filled forest.

Discover recorded journals that reveal the camp’s dark history piece by piece. Recorded 

The forest changes after sunset — sounds, visibility, and tension increase dramatically.

Fear comes from uncertainty, isolation, and what you don’t see.

Clues are hidden in objects, locations, and subtle changes in the world.

Progress through curiosity and observation, not weapons or UI markers.
