Rotten Woods

About

You play a hunter exploring a deserted village swallowed by decay. Navigate crumbling buildings and overgrown paths while avoiding creatures that lurk in shadows. The game emphasizes stealth and resource management, forcing you to balance aggression with caution. Ammo and tools are scarce so every decision matters. The setting shifts as night falls, increasing tension and limiting visibility. Rotten Woods tightens the atmosphere with eerie sound design and sudden threats. Early access reviews note its punishing difficulty and lack of hand-holding. Released in October 2024 for PC, it positions itself as a test of patience over skill. The developer’s previous title struggled with similar pacing issues but fans praise its uncompromising approach.
