Oakwood

About

Oakwood casts you as someone stranded in a forgotten British Columbia campground now overrun by ancient dangers. You search for missing friends by navigating dense forests, crumbling structures, and underground tunnels while managing limited tools and avoiding aggressive creatures. The gameplay loops on exploration and resource management as you piece together what happened here and how to escape. The game’s eerie atmosphere and tense encounters stand out, with many players noting the effective blend of investigation and survival mechanics. Set in a remote location with a mix of outdoor and indoor environments, it leans into horror through environmental storytelling and sudden threats. Released in late 2018 by Polygon Dust Entertainment, it runs as a single-player experience focused on careful progression over combat.
