About Wounded - The Beginning

This game was made with absolutely zero budget/funding, so keep that in mind before buying. The amount of love, passion, time and dedication from the Workbench Entertainment team can’t be measured in numbers.

Wounded is a survival horror game that puts you in the role of Tim, a father who got separated from his daughter Lisa after a storm caught them off-guard out in the open sea.

Upon uncovering some of the secrets at the Big Rokk Motel, Tim realizes those who captured Lisa, are somehow related to the actions of his wife Andrea, a famous Altana Detective investigating “The Skinner” case.

The story in Wounded is rather simple, but it requires you as a player to connect some pieces of the puzzle on your own. The gameplay doesn't allow you to fight the enemies back, which is why hiding and running are your two best options.

The gameplay in Wounded allows you to make smart decisions that ensure your survival against the enemies, but one wrong move can be the end of Tim. The main mechanic, which is hiding, is your best option in most of the situations.

For the optimal horror experience, we suggest that you play alone and in an environment that allows you to fully focus on your in-game decisions. Using a headset and playing in a dark room is recommended.

A truly terrifying experience. The pacing, sound design, music and atmosphere was top notch. In the stealth parts expect to die a few times till you get the feel of it. But to me it just added to the gameplay that had my heart beating out of my chest. If you are looking to play a horror game you won't forget anytime soon. This is it.

An indie horror game with terrible stealth mechanics. The endings are illogical, and the achievements are frustrating. I don't understand why this game has a positive rating. The overall quality is clearly below average. [i] Last Christmas I bought here the game. But I regretted the purchase the very next day [/i]

In short, it is a generic horror walking sim, with invincible enemies for you to run from. It is average at best, but it was made by a small team (I think students) and it is cheap during a sale, I’ll give it a recommend, why not. Anyway more into this game, the gameplay got annoying for me. For once the character you play as gets more and more injured this results in him breathing like a mobility scooter Pokemon scalper towards the end of the game, and this is constant. Next is the repetition of backpack puzzles, basically you need to carry 5 backpacks to a certain point, they act as weights. There are 3 such puzzles and are exactly the same, even the number of backpacks is the same. Then you got the enemies, like I said they are invincible, but I found them to be quite easy to escape, irony is that the very first enemy was the hardest to elude. For another one all I did is run in circles, press an item, then run again up to 4 times. I think there is some stealth involving crouch, but apart for the first enemy I barely ever used it. The story is alright, but the writing I found it well, kinda meh to put it lightly. I think there are multiple endings but I am alright with the o…
