Our take on Odd Woods
The likely bounce point is the survival routine: after gathering and building during the day, players face stronger enemy hordes at night while also managing hydration and a protein-and-carbohydrate diet. Anyone who does not want those systems to compete for attention may hit that wall early.
What is Odd Woods?
Odd Woods is a survival crafting game set in a forest.
During the day, gather resources and build a base in preparation for attacks by horror creatures at night. Explore locations ranging from abandoned outposts to underground bunkers, and hunt wildlife and find fresh water to maintain food and hydration. Survival also involves balancing proteins and carbohydrates: because carbohydrates are scarce in the forest, plant vegetables to grow them. Enemy hordes grow stronger each night. Players can call enemy waves and defeat them to unlock special perks.
