About This Game

"Tavern in the Woods" is a single-player, first-person, story-driven mystery.

You take on the role of a weary traveler, and your journey has led you down an unfamiliar path through sparse and lonely countryside—a forgotten wilderness. At last, you arrive at an ancient tavern, nestled deep within the encroaching woods. Your heart weighs heavy with doubt—will there be room for you to rest? But as you step inside, you find only silence, an empty place, and a lingering mystery waiting in the shadows.

Gameplay:

You assume the role of a first-person protagonist, exploring the environment as the story gradually unfolds.

This is a work of interactive fiction that immerses you in a haunted landscape.
