If you go down to the woods today, don’t make it the ones in Burkettsville. 1999’s classic found footage horror is inspiration for this creepy psychological mystery.
A young child has gone missing in the woods, so you set out with your trusty German Shepherd to find him. As darkness falls and you lose sense of direction, and as weird pagan trinkets begin popping up, it’s clear you’re out of your depth.
Your dog is a fellow detective as well as a companion, sniffing out clues, alerting you to danger, and keeping you from going bat-shit crazy. The protagonist brings his own demons into this forest: as if a psycho witch wasn’t enough to contend with.

The graphics are bugged out, the game feels unfinished, but Blair Witch captures the disorientating sense of terror from the film.
