While it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any new Friday the 13th games this Friday the 13th, that’s not stopping Exit Plan Games. The team has announced that their next game, Panic In the Woods, will launch on Steam next Friday.
Panic In the Woods is a horror co-op extraction adventure that’s set “in the dark corners” of Exit Plan Games’ Bang-on Balls universe. You and your friends are Boy Scouts lost in the forest. Equipped with walkie-talkies, you must rely on each other to survive as you’re all hunted by a terrifying monster. You’ll need to banish it for good by carefully exploring the surrounding areas, and find the keys and corresponding gates that transport you to various realms, from which you’ll need to extract the skulls to perform the banishing ritual.
There are several items at your disposal to help you and your team in this endeavor. Not only will you have items to help locate keys and gates, but also trap and power-ups to evade the monster, or noise producing items to attract it. You’ll need to be smart about them, as you’ll only find so many to use.
But you’ll need to be smart, as the monster is always hunting you and your team. It’s also very sensitive to noise, so hide and try to remain quiet, or distract it if you can. Blow it, and it’s game over for you.
Every game features a new setup with key objects and tools randomly scattered across the map, making each playthrough unique.
