About the Game

From killer dolls to lethal furniture, nothing wooden can be trusted!

YOU are a hunter; a man or woman of wealth and leisure who has turned their time to hunting the fiendish monsters that assail humanity. Human greed and inhuman evil clash when a chance encounter sets you on a trail which leads from the brightly-lit streets of the Capital to the depths of the untamed wilderness. What horror lurks in the roiling mists, and can YOU find a way to stop it?

A choose your own adventure novel in which your choices and actions can lead you to glorious victory...or ignoble defeat. Explore an original story with three challenging game difficulties, unlock hidden lore to better understand the world you enter, and enjoy the artwork you discover in the gallery.

This independently produced novel features a dark soundtrack (with optional atmospherics) by Cryo Chamber, as well as over 40 unique page images to unlock.
Combine your ancestral Heirlooms with the Traits system to customise your Hunter before taking on the horrors which await you. Wyrmwood is the latest and largest entry in the Hunter's Journals series, with close to 1000 unique entries, some of which require specific combinations of choices to reach.
