Woods of the Lost

Fair, although, as with the other game, this was originally intended as a standalone game and html5 doesn't handle mouse input well as it stops at the border of the browser. A controller will alter the experience.

The gameplay and slow turns, yes you are very correct, it is slow and it does amount to quick and unfair deaths, but there is a sense of nostalgia to it. I used to play games like Alone in the Dark and the first Resident Evil games and the tank controls in them were very frustrating.

I guess there was a bit of a quest for lost time, a fragment of the past that I tried to convey. The visual look of Silent Hill, the controls of Resident Evil, the stupid scares and unfair deaths of Alone in the Dark. I hope I brought a bit of context to my choices in this. :)

Thanks for playing and good thing you discovered the gamepad use early! Third part was going to be a very short (2-3 min) creepypasta visual novel with four or five endings. These were originally parts of a standalone project, which was a collection of small, experimental (and many of them stupid!) horror games where the story is linked together.

I gave it a run in an expo and although some did like them (especially Woods. Ruins wasn't much of a fan favorite, so to say) it wasn't really showing potential, so I put the project aside, and a few months later ported both of them to the browser.

I use itch as a both a graveyard for projects I haven't myself given a green light after user tests and as a kind of a testing ground if they have some potential that hasn't been seen in the initial user tests.

Thanks for playing! :D
