12 itemsAbout the Game
After the death of your mother, your old man decided to move back to his cabin in the woods. Five years after you last heard of him, you choose to move to the cabin yourself and start searching for him. On arrival, you notice the cabin is barricaded and it looks like a fight has taken place. While you look for your old man, you hear whispers and branches cracking in the old trees.
An unpleasant feeling overcomes you, as you realise, your not alone in these woods. Someone or something is stalking you. It's hiding in the trees. Just waiting for the night to come, before it can attack. Then you acknowledge that these barricades were there for a reason and it would be wise to prepare yourself and the cabin for the upcoming attack.
