About This Game

Midnight At Camp Ashwood is a first-person psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, mystery, and environmental storytelling. If you're into audiobooks and exploration this game is for you.

You arrive at an abandoned woodland camp just after all 15 kids and 6 counselors  mysteriously vanish. The buildings are empty. The fire pits are cold. The trails are still. But the forest is not silent.

As night falls, strange sounds echo between the trees. Audio diaries reveal fragments of fear, paranoia, and obsession. The deeper you explore, the more the camp itself seems to watch you.

There is no combat.
Only tension, discovery, and the slow realization that you are not alone.

Developer note: Built by a solo developer using AI as a tool—Just a dude making fun games.

AI helps me move faster, iterate harder, and build the kind of games I’ve always wanted to play. Every design choice, system, and final decision is human—AI just lets me make the games I want to play, faster.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I make games as a solo designer, so a few images have been generated for textures and sprites along with editing to make sure they fit the game. I also use it for programming and writing descriptions. I also use it to change my voice because I'm the only voice actor. I'm too broke to pay a bunch of people so AI isn't taking any jobs, just helping me create content in a realistic timeline.
