[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Praise be to the horror make! Wooden Ocean was selected by Haunted House FearFest 2025![/p][p][/p][p]To be honest, I don't know much about this festival, except it's mostly or entirely online and accepts dark fantasy video games as a submittable genre. [/p][p][/p][p]Now, I know what you're about to say, hey Leif, who is the coolest and most murda person to ever exist in the entire universe and watches dragonball z with the altar on the regular, isn't the Ocean of the Wood NOT a horror game? I thought it was an open world insert madness game?[/p][p][/p][p]And you would be correct! Wooden Ocean is NOT a horror game! But it does have a horror aesthetic damnit! Especially in the prologue! (and also, as stated before, they accept dark fantasies) So therefore, submission![/p][p][/p][p]However, that submission was a few days late, so uhhhhhh... despite being accepted, it won't be getting much coverage during the event. Is what it is.[/p][p][/p][p]But hey, don't let my mistakes stop you from checking out the other games! Who knows, there might be a hidden gem or two. (I actually don't know, I haven't checked out any of them yet)[/p][p][/p][p]Anyways, Wooden Ocean will be 50% off during the entirety of the festival. [/p][p][/p][p]Yearly marketing complete. Next sale will be in December.[/p][p][/p][p]Murda![/p]
