Evaluation
A Walk in the Woods launched on April 21, 2020 as a VR nature-walking experience. It received a handful of post-launch updates: a map expansion in June 2020, a substantial Anniversary Update in May 2021 adding non-VR support and engine improvements, and a compatibility patch in August 2021 to address headset support issues. No major content updates followed after August 2021.
On August 15, 2024, Brightdawn Entertainment posted a studio-wide update announcing the completion of their other project, The Art of War card game. In the same post, they explicitly noted that development of A Walk in the Woods itself is finished — they're "not adding to this game" but rather working on a full sequel. The store description itself hints at this forward-looking stance, stating that player feedback may be implemented "in our next game" rather than this one.
The sequel is described as only just beginning development as of August 2024. That sequel would be an entirely separate product, not additional content for this game. A Walk in the Woods is effectively a complete, finished product with no further updates planned.

About this game
Most of humanity lives in urban environments. Some regions of Earth, such as Europe, are almost completely urbanized and the plots of land not affected by man are practically absent. We cannot stop the urbanization, but we can “open a window” into a virtual reality and give everyone an opportunity to, for example, stroll through the summer forest. Yes, this is not an alternative to a real walk, but when there is no other option - our app is the best solution to escape from everyday stress and get out into the nature.
Since this product is experimental, your opinion and constructive suggestions are extremely important to us! Even if we don’t add them to this game, we will take notes and try to implement suggested features in our next game.

FAQ
- Can I play a game with hardware below the minimum requirements?
Yes. However, due to the low frame rate, you may develop motion sickness. If so, just put the headset off for a while and take a break.
