I've just gotten around to trying out the demo for 'Through the Woods' that was pointed out to me, and wow this looks like it's going to be pretty great.

The game has already been funded on Kickstarter, it has been approved through Steam's greenlight system and now the Demo is available for all.

About the game
THROUGH THE WOODS is a third-person psychological horror game set in a forest on the western coast of Norway about a mother and her missing son. Through dynamic narration, you play the mother's re-telling of the events surrounding her son's disappearance in a setting inspired by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales.

The interrogation that covers the mother's tale is never seen, only heard, as the actions unfolding on the screen have already happened. You control the past, shaping the story of the present.

My thoughts
I'm really crap at horror games, but Through the Woods already looks like it's going to be one I have to play through. As a parent the idea of a missing child is scary, so this will probably relate to any parents following us.

The atmosphere is just brilliant, and the voice acting is perfectly suited to it too.

I highly recommend giving the demo a go. It's going to be one I'm going to have to cover more in depth at release that's for sure. It doesn't release until next year, so we have a while to wait. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
