Horror Game Itch.io is Now Free
Itch.io, one of the leading platforms for independent games, has launched an attractive campaign for horror game enthusiasts. A game that is normally sold for a fee is now free for a limited time with a 100% discount. This opportunity offers a short but very attractive option, especially for players looking for retro-style survival horror.
Don’t Stop in Red Wood is Free on Itch.io
The game that is free on Itch.io is Don’t Stop in Red Wood. Published by Noxus Games Studios and developed by solo developer Diego Victor, the game stands out with its visual style reminiscent of the PS1 era. The game attempts to recapture the feeling of 90s survival horror by combining an old-school horror atmosphere with modern gameplay details. The campaign will continue until May 12th at 22:14 ET.
Don’t Stop in Red Wood plunges players into a cold and dark forest. A forgotten hunter legend is reborn in the Red Wood, while a masked killer hunts innocent people. Players must carefully examine their surroundings, solve puzzles, and make quick decisions in dangerous situations to survive. The game also features optional retro tank controls and a first-person perspective camera mode.
The released Version 2.0 trailer more clearly shows the game’s level of tension. The trailer highlights a young woman whose car breaks down on the road, fleeing from an unseen pursuer, taking refuge in a bloody cabin, and confronting the masked killer. Short scenes of the police investigation and the male main character’s encounter with the killer demonstrate the classic slasher horror atmosphere of the story.
Reviews of Don’t Stop in Red Wood particularly highlight the story, puzzles, villain design, and retro visual style. While some technical issues were mentioned in earlier versions, the Version 2.0 update released in March merged Chapters 1 and 2, fixed mechanical inconsistencies, and improved overall technical quality. For fans of retro horror games, this free offer on Itch.io looks like it’s not to be missed.
