    With 2.5 hours under the belt, I can say the ending was sudden, surprising , and not fulfilling by any means. It did not strike a chord that rang in success or failure. In fact, thanks to the stiff animation of the scene, I actually blurted out a laugh. The setting, the lore behind it, they’re ultimately squandered as far as horror goes, or even as adventure. What Through The Woods ultimately boils down to, is a couple hour walking simulator with an interesting narrative trying to be played out by the most unlikeable character I’ve ever seen in a game.

The animations were a bit weird, and the main characters voice acting wasn't good, but I liked the gameplay, it did scare me a few times, and the story was interesting, so overall it's a good horror game. I don't understand why everyone is panning this game, there are way worse horror games out there, trust me. Full Review »

Данный обзор пусть будет нейтральным, т.к. уже и время прошло много с момента релиза,
    так и прогресс студии нельзя оценить, потому что это их единственный проект. Увы!
    В целом для любителей скандинавской тематики я бы посоветовал, для остальных - на свой страх и риск.
