Within the Woods is a short text-based horror game made in Inform

This game started as a small project while learning how to program in Inform, based on a premise which evolved into a standalone game. While this is my first game, I’ve tried my best to make it as complete and entertaining as possible, and hope you enjoy.

You can play the game right in your browser by clicking RUN GAME above, or you can download the story file below and open it with an interpreter of your choice (if you don't have one I recommend lectrote).

Once in game you can type HELP for some instructions. 

If you are new to text adventures please refer to this useful player guide.

Thank you for playing!
