Fearwoods takes players into a cursed forest. Every sound can give away your position. Every flash of light might save your life — but it can also draw the monster’s attention. Three people. One night. And something that should not exist. To survive, you must cooperate, listen, and remain silent.
“Launching the Steam page is our first step toward the players. Fearwoods is born out of our passion for horror. It’s a story about a demon and about how thin the line between fear and compassion can be. We want players to decide for themselves — will they run, or will they try to understand the monster?”

The game features a three-player co-op mode. Each player has their own light source — a weapon and a guide in one. Light drives the demon away and helps find the path through the dense forest. But darkness makes it easier for the creature to sense its victims. Silence means safety. Light means risk. Every decision comes at a price.
During exploration, players uncover fragments of Aveline’s journal, damaged GPS receivers, and traces of the demon. Each step takes them deeper into the forest. With every discovery, the story becomes more unsettling — and less obvious.
