Hey everyone,

I'm sharing a major update on my psychological horror adventure game. While the project was originally inspired by Over the Garden Wall, I’ve decided to pivot and expand it into an entirely original universe and story.

To reflect this creative shift, the game is officially changing its name from Unknown’s Shadow to Woodbound.

Woodbound focuses on surviving a dark, mysterious forest where players must navigate deception, rich lore, and deep atmospheric horror. Building an original world gives me the freedom to craft unique gameplay mechanics without any boundaries.

If you were interested in the early concept, thank you for the support. Follow my account to stay updated on Woodbound as development continues!

Made Enoch during the fall, but couldn't put him away, so now he guards our family altar🎃

Maybe I found it in the middle of the woods, who knows...

Joking aside, I'm very happy, now I can cut the yarn from my crochet projects :)

WIP. Will be a catalog of Pottsfield seeds, advertisements + a short comic story.

I love and naturally gear towards things like crows, ravens, black cats, black fences, swirly trees, purple skies, full moons, and big Victorian castles. However, I love the aesthetic of otgw with a more whimsical take with mushrooms, frogs, autumn leaves, etc. but I feel like otgw is that aesthetic paired with the one I just mentioned earlier. (Full moons, crows, etc.) so, what would you say that type of aesthetic is? Mushrooms and frogs and sunflowers, but a bit (if not completely) more elegant and gothic, as well as very vintage and mystical. Lmk your thoughts in the comments!

i used to make some OTGW fanart a few years ago and coming back to it with a bigger project was such a delight ;;;

My current working title is "Unknown's Shadow" but I want something better. It's a psychological horror adventure. Give me your best name ideas that fit that eerie, mysterious OTGW vibe!

Game's inspired by Over the Garden Wall, releasing in August. Currently itch-only. Trying to decide if it's worth paying Steam's $100 fee at this stage, or if sticking with itch has worked out for people in a similar spot.

Hey everyone, I'm developing a psychological horror adventure game in Unreal Engine 5 called Unknown's Shadow, heavily inspired by Over the Garden Wall.

This is the Beast. What do you guys think? If you have any feedback or ideas to add to the game, please let me know!
