Even as the first game from a young developer, however, it doesn\u2019t feel like an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach to just throwing all of his favorite things together \u2013 <em>Way to the Woods<\/em> has a strong, focused sense of aesthetic unity.<\/p>\n<p>You solve puzzles by gathering light into your antlers from discarded electronics such as lamps and cell phones that you find lying around, then using that light to transfer power elsewhere or push back globs of black sludge. The puzzles are designed more to engage you and create opportunities for interaction with the world than to challenge. According to tan, \u201cthey\u2019re challenging enough to be satisfying to solve, but you can turn your brain off and enjoy this game easily. If you have to open a walkthrough, you can email my spam inbox and let me know of my failure.\u201d It\u2019s much more about the experience.<\/p>\n<p>The game opens by asking you your name, and then to name \u201cthat most precious to you,\u201d which is the name given to the faun that follows you around. This sets an emotional tone that could risk verging on schmaltz if overwritten, but it\u2019s held up by the minimal writing and animal perspective. \u201cI want to remind the player that they are animals too,\u201d tan said. \u201cThings like anxiety are key to our survival, which is why it is so difficult to switch that part of your system off. But is that all life is about? Is life really a constant struggle against being eaten? This is why in this game you must be a deer, you must be prey, in order to understand true strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"6a21c879bd4db\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a21c879bd4db\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"221920\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422145538_1-31dd623577fa1e693d94-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Way to the Woods screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-221920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422145538_1-31dd623577fa1e693d94-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422145538_1-31dd623577fa1e693d94-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422145538_1-31dd623577fa1e693d94-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422145538_1-31dd623577fa1e693d94.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"6a21c879bd7ec\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a21c879bd7ec\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"221923\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150622_1-28d59df58c7a349a59dc-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Way to the Woods screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-221923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150622_1-28d59df58c7a349a59dc-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150622_1-28d59df58c7a349a59dc-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150622_1-28d59df58c7a349a59dc-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150622_1-28d59df58c7a349a59dc.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The tone felt sweet and sentimental throughout, but also a little cold and alien by virtue of being an animal exploring human environments that they don\u2019t really understand, which was important to tan throughout development. \u201cBecause role playing as an actual deer, an animal, is an important part of this game, I spent a lot of time imagining what it is like to live in that consciousness. What does my cat think when it watches TV with me? As the deer, the threat of predators is the realest, most immediate. But what about everything else? The memories and thoughts the deer has outside of survival, I imagine as elusive, like dreams. They exist in the deer\u2019s subconscious. I tried to represent this through every part of the game\u2019s design and interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To the game\u2019s great benefit, it\u2019s more sensory than wordy. It has lovely, minimalist, cel-shaded graphics and really cute animations \u2014 the deer and faun are adorably expressive, and some of the other animals I ran into like cats and mice were animated with a charming minimalism that did remind me a little of Katamari. What really ties together and elevates the whole thing, though, is the enchanting soundtrack from electronic duo aivi and surasshu, who are perhaps best known for scoring the Cartoon Network show \u201cSteven Universe.\u201d He described the chance to collaborate with them on it as \u201ca dream come true, because I would listen to their music all the time when fantasizing about this game.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"6a21c879bdbeb\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a21c879bdbeb\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/20260422150024_1-b8900fd02c84c7564f84-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Way to the Woods screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-221921\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s very clear that <em>Way to the Woods<\/em> is a labor of love from a passionate, young creator, and I look forward to experiencing the full magical journey when it arrives on XBOX Series X|S soon.
