The Fabled Woods Demo Available On Steam Now, Full Release Later This Month

If you go down to the woods today and other cliches, you might be able to pick up The Fabled Woods demo – available via Steam right now, the full game out towards the end of the month.

From Headup Games and CyberPunch Studios, the game is a ‘dark and mysterious narrative short story’ set in a dense and beautiful forest, recreated by developer Joe Bauer. Interesting to note: Joe received help for fog, lighting, and other effects from Nicolas Meyssonnier, Pumpkin Jack’s creator.

Taking place at a forsaken campsite, you get to explore the ominous woods, discovering clues and guided by unknown voices. It has been suggested that Gone Home and What Remains Of Edith Finch fans will appreciate the setup in The Fabled Woods.

Key features in the game include:

• Three intertwining narratives to be uncovered, piece by piece, as you hunt for clues as to what happened.
• Explore at your own pace in an experience built from the ground up for fans of the puzzle free, death free storytelling in games such as Gone Home and Firewatch.
• Fully voiced, hear the characters as they impart their tales of strange going ons and mystery to you, the player, all set in a living world built in Unreal Engine technology.

Here’s the release trailer:

Note that you’re going to have to be quick if you’re interested in playing the demo before release as it’s limited until the 15th of March. As for the full release of The Fabled Woods, it’s not long to wait; scheduled for the 25th of March.
