Overview
You inherit an abandoned farm at the edge of a haunted wood. By day, you plant crops, breed rescued creatures and expand your homestead with new buildings, surveillance systems and energy detectors. By night—or whenever you dare venture into the forest—you’ll track down cursed objects, evade ghosts and gamble your sanity to break the curse that grips every layer of the woods. Descend alone or team up with friends: your farm doubles as a command center, letting players monitor each other’s positions, share camera feeds and coordinate rescues.

Key Features
• Cooperative Play (up to 4 players) – Join friends in real time to explore, farm and survive together.
• Three Horror-Filled Biomes – Each depth of the wood offers unique terrain, monsters and crypts to uncover.
• Cozy Farming Elements – Grow crops, breed animals, craft tools and relax around campfires or rockers on your porch.
• Investigation Devices – Use EMF meters, energy detectors, floodlights and custom-built surveillance to track paranormal activity.
• Timed Events – Some hauntings and anomalies only appear at certain hours, forcing you to plan your expeditions carefully.
• Sanity and Soul Mechanics – Your mental state affects what you see and which spirits target you; slipping into madness can even carry strange advantages.
• Dynamic World and Replayability – Procedural points of interest, randomized cursed objects and a spreading corruption/decay system keep each playthrough fresh.
• Quality-of-Life and Difficulty/World Settings – Tailor your challenge with adjustable game options, weather changes and an improved building system.

Whether you’re here for the scares or the simple joy of cultivating a quaint farm, Descending The Woods invites you to face fear and find comfort in equal measure.
