About

Eyes Of The ElderWood is a first-person adventure horror inspired by Kashubian folklore. Drawing from regional myths, beliefs, and rituals, the game explores a world where old stories have never fully disappeared. As you investigate places shaped by superstition and forgotten traditions, folklore begins to take a more literal and dangerous form.

Combat combines magic and firearms, allowing you to adapt to different situations. Spells are drawn by hand and can be used both during combat and when interacting with the environment. They can reveal hidden elements, manipulate objects, or weaken supernatural threats.
For more direct encounters, a revolver provides a conventional way to fight back. Using both tools together becomes essential as enemies react differently to magic and physical weapons.
The creatures you face come from Kashubian beliefs, myths, and local legends. Each demon has its own appearance, behavior, and backstory. Some can only be harmed with magic, others require a specific approach, and a few cannot be killed at all, forcing you to understand how they behave rather than simply confront them.

Explore a variety of locations, from abandoned villages and forgotten houses to dense forests and places shaped by local superstition. Each level introduces its own visual identity, mechanics, and enemies.
As the game progresses, environments begin to feel less stable and increasingly unfamiliar. Areas that first appear grounded in reality may gradually shift toward something more surreal, changing how you approach exploration and survival.

The game recreates the technical style of early 2000s titles through vertex lighting, giving environments a distinctive old-school look. This visual approach is combined with audio design that uses a bitcrusher effect to mimic the compressed sound quality typical of games from that era.
Your mental state also affects how you experience the world. Certain demons feed on your psyche, slowly altering your perception. The sanity system can introduce visual distortions, unsettling sounds, and hallucinations that make it harder to distinguish reality from illusion. In extreme cases, loss of sanity can trigger unique sequences that push the experience into increasingly disturbing territory.

Nie jest to mój klimat jeśli chodzi o gry ale mimo to coś w sobie ma i na pewno znajdzie swoich odbiorców. Jest kilka rzeczy do poprawy ale jak na wczesny dostęp nie ma tragedii. Najbardziej irytujący jest kot, który pojawia się za często oraz drętwe dialogi.
Gra zrobiła na mnie bardzo pozytywne wrażenie. Ma ciekawy klimat, przyjemną oprawę i wciągającą rozgrywkę, która zachęca do dalszego odkrywania świata. Widać duży potencjał i zaangażowanie twórców. Jedynym elementem, który na ten moment wymaga dopracowania, są dialogi.
Not perfect, but seems really cool. Can't wait for more
Unique, interesting, fascinating, hoping to see full version soon !
A title with a fantastic atmosphere and a lot of potential. I really enjoyed the overall vibe, and I'm genuinely curious to see where the developers take it in the full release. That said, it's clear the game is still in Early Access, which is perfectly understandable. There are a few areas that could use some polish. The enemy AI feels fairly basic at the moment, making encounters a bit too predictable. I also found myself wishing for a jump mechanic during some of the puzzle sections - are there any plans to add one? On the positive side, I really enjoyed the ritual system. It's a fresh idea that adds character and sets the game apart. Overall, I think the project has a very solid foundation, and I'm excited to see how it develops. Wishing the team the best of luck with the full release!
Scary Scuffed Games #488 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: winter_fox8 Eyes Of The ElderWood ist ein sehr stimmungsvolles Survival Horror_game mit vielen verschiedneen Mechaniken und interessanten Gegnern. Die Early Access zeigt bisher leider nur einen Bruchteil von dem was man wohl laut Trailer noch erwarten darf, aber ist mit ca. 2h auch schon ordentlich. Leider ist die Lore noch etwas dürftig und man fragt sich warum man überhaupt in diesen ElderWood geht. Oder aber die Introsequenzen waren zu schnell um von uns gelesen und zeitgleich übersetzt zu werden. Schade eigentlich, dass man diese nicht selbst "weiterblättern" kann, denn Musik war auch noch keine eingebunden. Daher verstehe ich technisch nicht ganz, warum man den Dialog nicht selbst weiterabspielen kann. Sonst aber wirklich cool, besonders die verschiedenen Gegnertypen, denen Schwächen, Designs und vor allem die Zauberfunktion. Rating: Dito: 4.5/5 Chat: 4/5 Gesamt: 4.25/5
No to tak gra całkiem całkiem ale kurła mac ten kot jest jakiś przyjefajny zrobisz łamigłówkę a on ci wyskakuje i mówi "ty stary bo do tej łamigłówki wcześniej to trzeba zrobić to i to" szczerze jakiś troglodyta to kurła sklejał gierka przyjemna był to mój pierwszy horror po skupczeniu się w pierwszej klasie i było całkiem spoko ale dialogi mega sztywne historia nie porwała ale gameplay git czy polecam tak jak ktoś lubi horrory ale takie niestraszne ale ja się skupciałem pod siebie wiec chyba efekt finalnie dobry. (zamienniki bo cenzura)
This game is pretty much right up my alley in terms of aesthetics. I love the environments, and there were some genuinely spooky moments as well. The puzzles are a little basic but nothing boring by any means. As for the story, this is where my review falls a bit. In the current state, the story is delivered very awkwardly. There's no real lead up or explanation as to what exactly is happening or who Laura (the player character) even is, it almost felt like I started a new show but skipped the first 3-5 episodes. and then the game just sorta... ends. Not even a "goodbye" or "thanks for playing, more content soon!" it just took me back to the menu, which was a bit confusing. I know it's early access so I'm not holding it against the game too much, and I'll be sure to change this review in the future if need be. Still recommend
