A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to the Backwoods.

You are trapped in a dark forest, equipped with only a map and a flashlight. In order to escape, you must activate 5 generators placed around the map. Try to be fast, though, because you're not alone - an angry ghoul stalks you through the trees.

Thank you for trying my game! This is my first ever FPS survival horror made in Unity and I appreciate any interest.

Well that was pretty awesome. I loved the sound design and the visuals. This looked pretty damn good for a first survival horror. 
The settings button didn't work for me, no big deal. But you could definitely up the difficulty. I tried to die - and it took a lot of effort.
Thanks so much dev, Would love to see more from you

It was a great game! It just needs to be longer so maybe a bigger map

The monster looked great, and for your first horror game it played pretty well. I'd suggest spreading the generators out a bit more, maybe make the map larger, because it's pretty straight forward as it is.
