Panic in the Woods (v1.0.1)

Panic In The Woods is a tense horror survival and extraction game that plunges players into a chilling forest as a group of lost Boy Scouts. The eerie setting is dominated by a relentless monster stalking the woods, forcing players to rely heavily on teamwork and communication through walkie-talkies to survive. The core objective revolves around exploring the dark environment to locate keys and gates that serve as portals to nightmarish realms. Within these hellish dimensions, players must retrieve skulls needed to perform a powerful demonic ritual aimed at banishing the creature once and for all. The game’s atmosphere is thick with suspense, demanding careful navigation, stealth, and strategic planning to avoid detection by the monster, which is highly sensitive to noise and will instantly end the game upon capture. Players can team up in groups of up to four, whether with friends or strangers, and must coordinate their efforts to outwit the monster, using one teammate as bait or rescuing teammates trapped in cages. The gameplay encourages collaboration but also leaves room for tension, as players may choose to sabotage each other. A variety of scarce but essential items, such as radars, traps, power-ups, and noise-makers, add depth to the survival mechanics, requiring judicious use to gain an advantage. Each session features a randomized layout with keys and tools scattered throughout, ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same. With immersive radio-style voice chat and an unforgiving one-life mechanic, Panic In The Woods offers a high-stakes, atmospheric experience that challenges players to stay alert and work together—or risk losing everything.
