Geeks Under Grace
ByThrough the Woods is a game you get if you want easy gamerscore or trophies, as its heavy themes are not portrayed the best.
GamePitt
By Rob PittThrough the Woods is a decent indie game built around Norse folklore/mythology that has been slightly integrated within the story of a mother and her estranged son. Throughout your journey to recover your child, you will encounter creatures which you must stealthily bypass and uncover things about yourself and the woods which may be a little uncomfortable for some people. The two main downsides to the game lie within its integration of the two stories and the length. With more time, we would have had more development on the characters and gave me a reason to care about them, with more integration then we could have seen how the random occurrences linked to the mother.

By Christopher D. AndersonThrough the Woods might not be for everybody but if Norse mythology is something you are into, I would recommend you give it a try.

By T��a Mat��ov�Folk tales of Through the Woods will scare you, but short and linear gameplay with invisible walls are its weak spots.

By Mark DelaneyThrough The Woods is a horror game that delivers some good scares, just not really in the way that was intended.
