Something is in the woods...

Its the last night of summer, so I wanted to go camping one last time... I wish I would have just stayed home, something else is out here with me.

Press Q to add wood to the fire. Fire will keep the entity away, but time the logs right! too soon and they will burn too fast, too late and...well.... it may be too late

Look around by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen

(Expect many more of these short horror experiments to come, Want to support me? Head over to patreon where patrons get full disclosure on any projects and nightly builds!)

Made for the 7 Day Goodbye summer Horror Game Jam 

3d Models were not made by me, view the credits menu in game for credited artists

(If you can spare the 1$ i do recommend the downloadable version as it supports higher resolutions, though the game is fully playable in the browser if not. (patrons also get the downloadable version for free))

1.1 Update

-Added a couple of "events" you will have to play the game to find out what they are
-Added a new mechanic with the flashlight, having it on might help keep the creature at bay, but be careful it doesnt last long...

-Tweaked the difficulty for each hour.

let me know in the comments what you think of the update!


1.1B Update
-There was an issue where the events added in 1.1 were too common, this has been solved
-Added in a new fire UI

1.2 Update
For now this is the final update, If i added more it would just be more events and i am moving on to a  new game jam so I will be focusing on that. I added a fair bit in this update though and will still update again if there are bugs or issues.

  • Redid the title screen to make it a bit more interesting
  • Redid the credits screen for the same reason
  • added new UI (flashlight/campfire)
  • there are now 3 random chance events
  • added footsteps for the monster
  • completely remade the ending
  • further tweaking of the difficulty
  • more changes to the game environment.

I don't think the browser version is loading...

Oh it was working for me earlier, I can't really check it right now but I'll have a look in the morning and get back to you

okay I just tested it and it seems to be working fine for me

An interesting idea, but it gets old after about 30 seconds xD

You need to add additional effects each night to give it some zhuzh. Rain or wind to increase the speed the fire goes out. Maybe a monster that tries to steal your logs if you aren't paying attention. Its got potential though.

Wow wasn't expecting a lets play! and its my first yay!

yeah i plan on added a few more mechanics (a flashlight for instance) and a bit more dynamic stuff. Not planning to get too crazy with it but its also not 100% done.


Thanks for making my day!

Yeah, you got a good  foundation just needs some meat. Good luck on future projects. 

ha meat good choice of words lol
