Our take on Woodboy
The defining detail is the five-day limit on the Woodboy’s magic. Quests consume those days, creating a fixed deadline for the town’s rescue rather than an open-ended adventure structure.
What is Woodboy?
Woodboy is an adventure game about a young girl trying to save everyone in her town after the Lich returns.
The river has dried up, and the forests are dangerous. The Woodboy has five days of magic remaining before it dies. Quests advance the game by one day when completed, while gold can make some actions happen immediately. The game is structured as a large puzzle, and there is only one way to achieve the goal of saving the town. Sessions are intended to last 5–10 minutes, giving the game a short-session format built around completing quests before the deadline.
