Horror Game ‘Oakwood’ Tasks You With Avoiding Dangerous Dinos

If you thought that hiding from scary people and humanoid monsters could be scary, wait until Oakwood has you running from a T-Rex.

You arrive just a hair late to your friends’ camp at the old abandoned Oakwood campground, coming across a bloody scene. Naturally, you decide to have a look around to see what caused it rather than seek help, which soon leads you to find that the campground and surrounding area are overrun with raptors and other prehistoric predators.

Equipped with a flashlight and little else, you need to sneak about, hide, and hold your breath in order to dodge around the dinosaurs who are looking to make you their meal. If you can outwit these creatures for a while, you might be able to find some of the answers as to why these creatures are around the camp, and maybe get yourself out alive.

Oakwood aims to offer a little shock and some terrifying chases as you run and hide from dinosaurs. Because a few tons of teeth, hunger, and anger do tend to be a little scarier than a creepy guy with a knife, right?

Oakwood is available now on Steam.
