Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At Otisco Studios, our vision is to deliver the best first-person survival experience that emphasizes atmosphere, exploration, and player immersion. Early Access allows us to work closely with our community, gather meaningful feedback, and refine the experience based on how players actually engage with the game.

Early Access gives us the opportunity to expand content, improve systems, and polish the experience while remaining transparent with our players throughout development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Road Less Traveled to remain in Early Access for approximately 1–2 years.

The exact length may vary depending on community feedback, feature development, and overall scope, but our goal is to steadily improve and expand the game through consistent updates until it reaches a complete and polished full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version focuses on the core survival experience, including exploration, atmosphere, and foundational gameplay systems.

The full version is planned to expand on this foundation with additional content and features such as:

Expanded environments and points of interest

Additional survival mechanics and interactions

More events, encounters, and environmental storytelling

Improved AI, balance, and overall polish

While the core experience is present in Early Access, the full release will offer a deeper, more refined, and more content-rich version of the game based heavily on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Road Less Traveled is currently in a playable and stable state. Players can explore the world, engage with core survival systems, and experience the game’s atmosphere and mechanics as intended.

While the game is enjoyable in its current form, some systems, content, and features are still being expanded and refined. Players should expect ongoing updates that add content, improve balance, fix bugs, and enhance the overall experience throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not currently plan to change the price when leaving Early Access.

If the price does change in the future, it would reflect significant new content or major feature additions. Any pricing changes will be communicated clearly and in advance to players”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively involve the community through our Discord and social media channels, where we share development updates, gather feedback, and discuss upcoming features.

Player feedback during Early Access will directly influence balance changes, feature improvements, and future content. Our goal is to work transparently with the community and shape Road Less Traveled into the best experience possible based on what players enjoy and request.

About This Game

True Survival Horror – No Second Chances

Your objective is simple: survive long enough to reach the end of the road and escape the forest alive.

To do that, you must move from campsite to campsite, pushing deeper into increasingly dangerous territory while managing hunger, sleep, fuel, sanity, and resources. Every day is a calculated risk: explore new regions for better loot, or play it safe and conserve supplies. At night, visibility drops, monsters roam, and the Maintenance Man forces you forward — you can’t return to old camps, and you can’t outrun him forever. One wrong turn off a cliff, one poorly timed fight, one mismanaged resource, and your entire run is gone. You cannot turn back — the road only goes forward. Every stop is temporary. Every night is a test. Every decision determines whether your run continues or ends permanently.

Features

  • Looting & Crafting System –Scavenge abandoned camps, broken vehicles, and forgotten trails for materials to craft essential survival gear. Build weapons to defend yourself, reinforce armor to withstand attacks, and assemble camping equipment like tents, traps, and portable light sources. Every item crafted could mean the difference between surviving the night… or becoming part of the forest.

  • Open-World RV Exploration – Your RV is your only sanctuary. Drive freely across the vast forest, discover new regions, and use it as mobile storage and a temporary safe haven. Upgrade storage capacity, reinforce defenses, and customize it to support your survival strategy. But remember — safety is never permanent.

  • Dynamic Weather + Day/Night Cycle – Extremely Limited daylight offers a small window to gather supplies, hunt, and prepare. When darkness falls, visibility drops, creatures grow bolder, and paranoia sets in. The forest changes at night — new threats emerge, and familiar paths become deadly.

  • Permadeath with Persistence – Save during your run, but death resets everything. Lose your gear, your progress, and the path you carved through the forest. However, knowledge carries forward — each attempt reveals more about the world, its patterns, and the horrors stalking you.

  • Secrets of the Forest –Explore deep woods, hidden camps, cryptid lairs, and abandoned structures scattered across the map. Uncover environmental storytelling, disturbing clues, and the truth behind the man who stalks you through the night. Some secrets reward you. Others should never be found.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Road Less Traveled contains horror-themed content including depictions of violence against humanoid enemies and creatures. Players may use weapons such as a wrench or limited firearms to defend themselves against hostile monsters and human cultists. Combat may include blood effects, injury animations, and enemy death sequences.

The game features intense horror elements including stalking, psychological tension, paranoia, and themes of isolation. Certain environments and narrative elements may depict disturbing imagery consistent with a mature horror experience.

The game does not contain sexual content, sexual assault, non-consensual acts, explicit nudity, or graphic torture. There are no depictions of drug or alcohol abuse. There is no player-performed self-harm.

This title is intended for mature audiences due to violence and sustained horror intensity.
