What is Backwoods?
Backwoods is a terrifying survival-horror game that drops you into the wastes of a mysterious Russian town. Collecting dark, unclear lore, you will meet with terrifying monsters, scavenge for weapons, and meet some rather unsettling characters. The ambience is heavy with dread; one could very well be the next. Do you think you can live through the nightmare and make an escape from it?

Tips & Tricks
- Provide accurate ammunition conservation: Some enemies require more bullets than others.
- Get serious about your listening: Some audio cues may warn about a threat nearby.
- Get serious about all-around exploring: Some items or clues stashed around as your last help.
- Prioritize running from some fights: There is a choice of defeat in a few confrontations; sometimes survival means running away.
History
