7 itemsAbout the Game
Wendigo is a horror game that takes place primarily in a small fictional park named 'Tamarack National Park.'
FEATURES
- Explore a dark wooded region at night with a crank flashlight to see your surroundings.
- Use your radio to pick up strange signals that become louder the closer you get.
- Carefully avoid danger that is for the most part unscripted and autonomous, with no teleporty jumpscare sequences.
- Almost every sound you make in-game can be heard.
- Look to your journal to recall important information you have previously discovered. Learning key information from one location may prove essential for solving a difficult puzzle in another.
Head to Tamarack National Park with your trusty crank flashlight and radio, uncover secrets past and present, and complete your task. Try not to be found by the creature that could cross paths with you at any given moment.
The game takes about 2 hours to complete, but if you are stumped easily it may take a few more. This is my first real attempt at making a game and I hope those who choose to play enjoy it!
