The Steam Page for Dark Survival Horror Game, Fearwoods, Now Available

The Steam page for Fearwoods has just been launched. It’s a cooperative survival horror where light and silence are the player’s only weapons. The title is being developed by a three-person independent studio, Fearwoods, created by fans of the horror genre. This is their debut project, and starting today, it can be added to wishlists.

The game is built with Unreal Engine 5, allowing the creators to craft realistic lighting, a dense atmosphere, and a tension-filled forest that lives by its own rhythm.

Fearwoods takes players into a cursed forest. Every sound can give away your position. Every flash of light might save your life — but it can also draw the monster’s attention. Three people. One night. And something that should not exist. To survive, you must cooperate, listen, and remain silent.

“Launching the Steam page is our first step toward the players. Fearwoods is born out of our passion for horror. It’s a story about a demon and about how thin the line between fear and compassion can be. We want players to decide for themselves — will they run, or will they try to understand the monster?”
– the Fearwoods team

The game features a three-player co-op mode. Each player has their own light source — a weapon and a guide in one. Light drives the demon away and helps find the path through the dense forest. But darkness makes it easier for the creature to sense its victims. Silence means safety. Light means risk. Every decision comes at a price.

During exploration, players uncover fragments of Aveline’s journal, damaged GPS receivers, and traces of the demon. Each step takes them deeper into the forest. With every discovery, the story becomes more unsettling — and less obvious.

Fearwoods Development Roadmap:
🔹 Demo – coming soon to Steam. It will allow players to test the mechanics and share their feedback.
🔹 Early Access – further development of the game in cooperation with the community.
🔹 Full Release – planned for Q1 2026.

The developers are also planning console ports for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
The team is working on macOS and Linux versions to make the game accessible to as many players as possible.
