After spending too much time indoors, Paige is thrown out of the house by her parents and told to play outside. While exploring her backyard, she sees a mysterious light, and it leads her deeper and deeper into the woods until she is completely lost.

It's not until she meets a magical being that she's able to find her way back through the whimsical woods. Through puzzle solving and playful jokes, the pair become close friends.



Out of the Woods was made in 30 days for the $1000 JTAGame Jam.

Had fun playing the game! The soundtrack was relaxing, the puzzles weren't too difficult, thankfully, and the story wasn't interminable.

In fact, I think it's only because it doesn't have too much length that it keeps you hooked for just the right amount of time.

Really cool idea from a 5-10 mins of gameplay game!

I'd rate it a 9/10 if I knew how to!

A suggestion I'd give is make the puzzles a tad bit more challenging.

Hey hey! It's me, the random guy who followed you on Hive! Loved the game, the story was cool, and it had an overall nice feel. I liked the music, and the three shade pixel art is a nice style. The puzzles were fun and I liked the mechanics. There was an awful lack of animations, but for a jam game it was pretty nice! The cat is by far the best of the characters, but it seems strange how readily Paige accepts a talking cat. Is she that friend starved? (haha) I really liked it though.

nice story

Incredibly cute and relaxing. I would love to see another game exploring Paige's new discovery of magic

Great job, the game is very entertaining and the art is really appealing. I was mostly guessing with the lanterns, so maybe giving a hint of the correct order would make it more about solving, overall I think your game is really fun (:

Thank you! Yeah it seems the blue lanterns are a bit harder than we anticipated, the flames are bigger are different sizes to give hints on the order. But maybe a SFX or something else to add to that would go a long way. Anyways thanks for playing!

WOW, so creative and fun to play.
