What In Woods is about
In Woods is a top-down roguelike survival game set in a forest. You fight waves of monsters, level up, gather wood, and craft items to keep up with the enemies that keep coming. Each run pushes you to survive as long as you can while your character grows stronger. After surviving for a specific duration, the final boss shows up, and beating it ends the run with a win.
How a group plays together
The game is tagged as singleplayer, so the main experience is one player working through the forest alone. Remote Play Together is available, which lets someone join in remotely through Steam. That gives your group a way to watch and take part in a run even though the game is built around a single player.
What to know before starting
Combat is the core of every run. Monsters attack constantly, and you need to keep fighting to stay alive. Killing a set number of monsters levels your character up, and each level gives you a choice of a magic item to pick up. Wood is a resource you gather during the run, and you spend it on crafting items to boost your chances. The structure is simple: survive the duration, power up along the way, then take on the final boss. Since it is a roguelike, expect to start fresh each run and build your strength again from the beginning.
