About
Deep in the wilderness, far from the nearest town, Ethan and his loyal dog, Ranger, set out on what should have been a simple hunting trip. The forest seems calm at first — birds singing, the crunch of dry leaves underfoot, the familiar weight of the rifle in Ethan’s hands. But as the sun dips below the treeline, an eerie stillness begins to creep in.
What was meant to be a quiet day in nature slowly turns into something far darker. Strange sounds echo between the trees. Shadows move where there should be none. Ranger starts growling at the empty air, and Ethan begins to feel that something — or someone — is watching them.
As the night falls, the forest reveals its true nature. There are stories about this valley — tales of hunters who never returned, and of a creature that wears the skin of its victims. Now, Ethan will have to face the ancient horror that lurks among the pines, and uncover the mystery of what really lives in these woods.
Skinwalker’s Valley combines atmospheric storytelling, exploration, and psychological terror. You’ll need to rely on light, sound, and your instincts to survive. Every step deeper into the forest leads you closer to the truth — and to something that should never have been found.
Can you make it out before the darkness claims you too?

If you love dogs then you will love this game!
i will say this one has more depth into a story than the previous games released by fireplay studio which is good. definitely showing some growth into the short games hes been making. ive enjoyed his previous games and this one definitely feels more developed. i did run into a few bugs but nothing game breaking on my end. this was a fun short horror game for sure and i look forward to more. Ranger for life! the ending though...
This was so fun!! Awesome work to everyone!
I really enjoyed this short little horror game. The jump scares were effective, the story was compelling. Though to the dev, might not wanna have a spoiler as your game's store page banner. Overall the game played very smooth, no technical issues encountered. My only complaint is the brightness reflected on items you try to examine, if you have your lantern or lighter out. Would totally recommend this game for a short 1-1 1/2 hour experience.
Кал, симулятор ходьбы.
Skinwalker Valley is a short decent enough horror game, at first I was reluctant to play as I dislike seeing dogs harmed in games BUT it ends up pretty satisfying in its rather ridiculous conclusion. Avoid skin walkers with your pet dog on a hunting trip gone badly wrong. It's very simple but decent enough for the price 5.5/10
Horrible
On a hunting trip with your dog, felt long winded in some areas, certain scenes remained unexplained, not much in the way of scares, driving mechanics are hilarious, felt robbed at the end,
so good
This game was incredible for $2.79. I played it while my friends watched and had a blast with it. It had problems but was great for the price and I would highly recommend.
