Through the Woods

I would advise against Buying. First of all, to The Positive: The Atmosphere has actually succeeded well. The Soundtrack is beautiful, the Game manages to build Tension through its Music even when nothing actually happens. -Which is very often the Case, but as I said: It remains exciting. Add to that a few Jump-scares (at least I felt it was) and graphically it's a pretty Game. So I actually get to what I found absolutely questionable quite quickly: The Story. I think-especially with horror game En/creepy Games-it's actually not so bad if there's not a real Story. Sure, we're all happy If it's not just a Mucking around in a weird House where you end up being just as smart as you were at the Beginning. But if you don't have a good Plot, maybe you should just leave it out. So If you decide to insert an Action that goes beyond simply Exploring Norse Mythology, you might want to bear in mind that the Player might want to identify with it. Unfortunately, the Characters remain wooden here, no matter the Horror you wander through. No matter if you redeem an animal from its Suffering, you just ' do it '. This is also simply because the Main Character is probably rather narcissistic, but at least not particularly empathetic. So With Horror, one is the Character who-with no Regard for Losses-runs through her Thing. Everyone else suffers from This, but the Game tries to convey the Way Things are done conclusively. Please don't convey anything rather than such a Character. Do you have to like that? I don't know. I thought it was very disappointing. I cannot say that the five Hours are worth their twenty Euros. I put the Rest of my Review into Spoilers, because there are a few Things I would like to get rid of about the Game. Things that concern the specific Action. So In The Spoiler here, just my quick Recap of why I found this Game absolutely-more than actually all the Games I've played so far-terrifying. A Mother suffers from baby blues, who knows, maybe other Things. This is how the Game is ushered in. We don't care about the Kid we brought with us to the Holiday Home, instead we just say ' You should have been with Grandmother on Weekends, I have to work '. Review. So While the Mum is no longer able to pursue her normal everyday Life after giving birth, the Man takes care of everything, probably especially the Child she ' can't love '. Things like That happen. In the End, we then learn that she beat the Child, that she even broke his Arm. Despite everything, the Man doesn't leave them-which turns out not to be a wise Decision. The Woman, who always repeats in the Game that she cannot love her Child, wants the Divorce and gets him ready in Court so he doesn't have the Child. Injunction, he may no longer approach the Child who would actually need him so badly. The Man who is deprived of virtually everything stigmatised by Such a judgment by society as a ' Child Thugs ' ultimately takes his Own life. -But do we really believe that the Mother, his Wife, is emotionally at the End? Ne, somehow not. She's kind of that you make an Accusation from the whole Thing to her and don't want to hear about it anymore. The dear Mom stands in the Swamp, screams the Witch, who shows her her Mistakes one last Time with ' you stupid ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ' at. And on, ' Okay, I'm born ' on, the Kidnapper is allowed to sacrifice my Son '. -... Excuse me, Madame, but how do you come to this Conclusion? What exactly does your Child have to create with your Wrongdoings in Life and why does they have to atone for it? We are still going on, but at this Point we already know that the Child will not get out of the Matter alive. In the End, Mum is proud of the son for the First time. He has actually voluntarily allowed himself to be sacrificed to the Mythical Figure, perhaps because in Life he has finally received Recognition for something. Because about how the Child felt when his Father was snatched from him. Somehow nobody talks about that. Late comes the Insight: She may have loved him after all. She also says she can finally forgive her Son after a long Time. And instead of addressing the Fate of the many Villagers, rather than questioning the Pact with the Wolf, when in the End she seemingly holds all The Possibilities for doing so, she now takes on the task of Sacrificing children for the wolf of the myth. -After murdering the one who has done so far.
