Wounded Demo

Wounded is a first-person horror adventure game that will challenge your wits and your resistance to scares.

Many studios are now trying to get into this genre, of FPS survival games, and some have more success than others. It’s not always about who get the people most scared; it ’s about the atmosphere that you can build on the action.

In Wounded, you play the role of a father that is looking for his daughter after a minor accident. He wakes up in this car after the crash; the girl is gone, and he doesn’t know where he is. The entire gameplay oozes of paranormal, and you will soon notice that you might not even be awake.

This is not a shooter, and you can’t fight your ways through the levels. Even if you get a hold of some weapons, you’re still going to have a difficult time in surviving. Going unseen and in a stealthy manner is the way to go about it, even if after a time you’re going to feel the need to run away.

Wounded is using jump scares all the time, and they feel tiring after a while, especially since you don’t really know what to do next, and it takes quite a while until the action starts.

The game is built on the Unity engine, but you would have a hard time noticing that if there weren’t any clues. It looks really good, even if this is an indie project. The level design could use some improvements, but this is just an early demo, and it’s very likely that the game will change during the development.

The sound department also plays an important role, as it was to be expected with a horror game. It doesn’t particularly shine in Wounded, but it does its job. It would have been nice to see the jump scare used less often, but the developers really wanted to scare the users.

Wounded is currently in development for the PC and consoles.
