About This Demo

Courage and Faith: Into the Dark Woods is a dark, atmospheric party-based RPG built around choice, preparation, tactical combat, and reactive storytelling.

In this demo, you will experience the opening chapter of the journey. A group of children has vanished into the forest, and a small expedition must be assembled to follow them into the darkness.

Choose who joins you, decide what equipment to carry, and prepare for the dangers ahead. Your choices affect the expedition's strengths, weaknesses, and ability to survive what waits beyond the edge of the settlement.

During combat, every action matters. Choose attacks, support actions, and equipment carefully while managing the expedition's rising tension. As fear grows, the number of actions available each round can shrink, forcing you to make increasingly difficult decisions.

AI-generated narration reacts to your decisions and circumstances, adding variation and detail to conversations and narrative scenes while the underlying game systems determine the consequences.

The demo includes:

• The opening story and disappearance of the children

• Expedition member selection

• Equipment and preparation choices

• Reactive narrative scenes

• The tension system

• Tactical turn-based combat

• The expedition's first major encounter in the forest

The demo concludes after the expedition survives its first major battle.

Every choice is a step deeper into the dark woods.
