Story

You're on a trip with some friends. Three hours of driving are still ahead of you when the satnav takes you through a dense forest – the fastest route.

With every kilometer, it gets quieter, darker, and more remote. Then it happens: The engine sputters, a brief jolt – and the car stops. In the middle of nowhere. No reception. No help.

And none of you know anything about cars.

You get out. The cold slowly creeps through your clothes, the air becomes damp – and soon after, the rain sets in. Your cries for help go unheard, the next town is far away.

So you only have one option: You set off on foot through the forest. Time passes, the path stretches on, and orientation becomes increasingly difficult. Until you finally discover a hut among the trees.

Remote. Silent.

You approach carefully, knock, and call out – but no one responds. Only when you step closer to the window and look inside does it become clear:

Someone once lived here.

Your goal:

Find a way to send out a distress signal and get to safety – before you run out of strength.

  • Forest in front of the hut

    The experience begins outdoors – in the middle of the forest.
    Players orient themselves, gather initial clues, and quickly realize they are on their own.With every step, it becomes clear:
    There's no turning back.

  • Interior of the cabin

    Stepping into the hut, the feeling changes.
    Orientation turns into uncertainty.Traces of a hunter.
    Clues that raise more questions than they answer.

  • Further interior area

    Tension is mounting.
    The story thickens, decisions become more important. And suddenly it's no longer just about understanding – but about acting.

  • Full control in real time

    All game processes, puzzles and effects are centrally controlled and monitored.
    The gamemaster always has an overview – without having to intervene.

  • Automated game processes

    Light, sound, effects, and gameplay mechanics seamlessly intertwine.

    This ensures a fluid and uninterrupted gaming experience.

  • Less effort for your team

    Many processes run automatically in the background.
    This reduces errors, saves time, and unburdens your team in their daily work.

What Players Really Experience

Not a backdrop. A real environment.

The forest cabin isn't just built – it's deliberately constructed to feel authentic. Instead of flimsy cladding or artificial surfaces, we use solid materials and real structures.

The walls are made of solid wood.
No plastic. No fake.

This changes the entire perception of the room:

Players feel the environment.
They hear it. They smell it.

In combination with precisely utilized light, sound, and effect elements, an atmosphere is created that doesn't seem artificial – but real.

  • animated window with a view into the dark forest
  • precisely controlled light and sound effects
  • integrated monitor for intro, game time, and hints
  • fog and scent integration for added depth
  • narrative integration of the hunter as a recurring element
