The Old Man’s Will

The Old Man’s Will is a survival game set on an isolated patch of deep woods inherited from your grandfather. You arrive at a rundown cabin with flickering security cameras and an old tape recorder. The recordings begin as playful tales about creatures in the forest, but reveal themselves as instructions: your goal is to survive six nights on the property.

Watch the creatures

From a cramped control room, you monitor camera feeds and conserve power while keeping creatures outside from getting too close. Some stalk the tree line; others appear silently, and each has its own habits and hunger. You must feed them what they crave—blood, meat or hide—or risk drawing their attention. The camera feeds are static-filled, and using them drains power.

Keep the property running

The control room cannot protect you for the whole week, so you need to venture outside to scavenge resources and handle essential tasks. You replace blown bulbs, restart generators and find bulbs, fuel and parts to keep your equipment running. You also have to keep your livestock alive; they are the only thing standing between you and becoming the next meal.

Uncover what happened

Scattered tapes and notes help you piece together the truth behind your grandfather’s instructions and the creatures in the woods.

Survive six nights

Each night grows harder, with escalating tension and intensity. Mistakes can end a run instantly, and the game is designed to be punishing and demanding; expect to fail as you learn how to survive.
