It’s that time of year again folks. Halloween is upon us and the horror games are being churned out by the bucket-load. If you’re unsure which one you really want to immerse yourself in this unholy season, we highly recommend Through the Woods from Norwegian developer Antagonist, because it’s picked up such a huge number of awards and nominations that it seems hard to say no. Buy it on Steam right now.
From the Press Release:
Through the Woods is a third-person Norse horror adventure set in a forest on the western shores of Norway that tells the story of a mother and her missing son. Through reactive narration, the player experiences the mother’s re-telling of the events surrounding her son’s disappearance. Players follow the path of a terrified woman who has forced herself to enter this terrible place for the sole purpose of finding her son, in a setting heavily influenced by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales.
With Through the Woods, Antagonist have captured the feeling of the forest as they saw it as children, with all the fear and mystery that comes from roaming through it alone. This is coupled with a powerful story and high quality sound design, which in the darkness of the forest becomes a core mechanic. Through the Woods is a profound experience that directly delivers the feelings of loneliness and loss in a terrifying place…
