On a cool summer night four friends sit around the campfire and tell each other spooky stories. The winner of the best story will get a free dinner at a restaurant of their choice! Sounds like good fun, right? But... what's the matter with Stacy?

I am very glad that you, like seraten04, make your own solo games. Although I adore games from Hyakuten Games, it is still interesting to learn about your individual approaches to creativity. This game is very organic in its laconism. Although I would like to know Paul's wish...))

Thanks for the comment Malia and thank you for playing so many of our games! It really means a lot! I’m so glad you enjoyed the game 😁. I still feel like quite a newbie when it comes to making solo games so I try and do something a bit different each game so I can learn more about writing and the game engine.  I’m hoping to create some longer games in the future as well 😁. 

I’d like to think that Paul wished for something selfless at the end but who knows…. 

Thanks again ❤️😁

You are doing great! You have something to tell and express to others and it is wonderful. It is difficult for me to express it in English, but in your stories there is some urban glimmer that shines through all the fairy tales of games even in ''Wolf in the Woods''. And it is intriguing. Maybe it is just a mature view of old stories. Anyway, I wish you strength and patience to express it in a long game one day.

Thank you so much for the lovely words ❤️. I’m so happy that my games give you that feeling. I feel very inspired by fairytales and I really like how morals are intertwined in those stories 😁. 

Thank you for your wish. I hope that like The Wishmaker I can make it come true. 😊
