Winnie The Pooh Meets Lovecraft in Upcoming FPS ‘Hundred Acre Wood’ [Trailer]

We’ve already had a horror-themed take on Winnie The Pooh with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Now get ready for a horror-themed take in video game form with Rob C. Davis, Gregg Rahuba and Jared R. Bair’s Hundred Acre Wood, a Lovecraftian FPS that’s coming soon to Steam.

Just like with Blood and Honey, Hundred Acre Wood takes advantage of the new public domain status of A.A. Milne’s classic story. You play as Christopher Robin, who is trapped within a twisted version of the titular forest, which has been altered by an otherworldly power. Making matters worse is that you’re being hunted by an old childhood friend in Winnie The Pooh. It’s up to you to escape with the help of Eldritch Beasts that were once familiar faces. Those “familiar faces” being Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga and Piglet, who don’t quite look like what you remember.

You’ll have to run, hide, platform, solve puzzles, and shoot your way through the Hundred Acre Wood as you explore its regions. Do whatever it takes to avoid Winnie-the-Pooh as you sneak past the hostile creatures hiding in the darkness. Along the way, you’ll discover the ruins of a once innocent child’s refuge as you uncover ancient secrets hinting at a “reality beyond human comprehension.”

Sarah’s grandmother went missing a while ago, but one day, Sarah finds clues that indicate her grandmother might still be alive. As Sarah discovers new powers that only the women in her family can inherit, she adventures into a world of occultism, mystery and horror to uncover the secrets her family is hiding and discover the part she plays in all of it.

As players venture on this trip through madness, unravelling the mysteries hiding behind the surface of Candleforth, they must solve puzzles and interact with a mysterious world to reveal the darkness of this twisted tale.
