Our take on In Woods
Rather than centering exploration or a long-form quest, this survival roguelike structures play around enduring monster attacks until a timed final-boss fight. Level-ups and wood crafting add progression within that run.
What is In Woods?
Set in a forest, this roguelike survival game sends the character into repeated encounters with attacking monsters.
Defeating a required number of foes raises the character’s level and offers a choice of magic item. Wood collected during a run can be spent crafting items to increase the character’s strength. Each attempt lasts for a specified period, after which the final boss appears. Defeat that boss to complete the run and win. Combat, leveling, and crafting all take place within the same survival run.
