Evaluation

Wounded - The Beginning launched on February 28, 2019 and received a series of free content updates throughout 2019 and into 2020. The developer shipped several feature updates: version 1.13 (March 6, 2019), "Lights Off" 1.20 (March 8, 2019), "Memories" 1.30 (March 27, 2019), the major overhaul "New Beginning" 2.0 (September 2, 2020), "The Attic" 2.1 (September 15, 2020), and "Visitant" 2.2 (October 29, 2020). The 2.0 update notably rebranded the game by adding "The Beginning" to its title, with the developer explaining the game would be split into chapters — this being the first. However, no follow-up chapters, DLC, or continuation of that promise has materialized since then. The last developer communication of any kind was the Visitant 2.2 update on October 29, 2020. There have been no posts, announcements, roadmaps, or updates of any kind since that date — nearly five and a half years of silence as of today (June 26, 2026). While the 2.0 post mentioned a broader story to tell across chapters, that statement has not been reaffirmed in any subsequent communication, and the extended silence well beyond any reasonable development window suggests no further content is forthcoming. The game is best treated as complete in its current "The Beginning" form.

About this game

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.


  • Simple yet intriguing story
  • Sounds that enhance the atmosphere
