Midnight At Camp Ashwood

About this game

Midnight At Camp Ashwood is a first-person psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, mystery, and environmental storytelling.

You arrive at an abandoned woodland camp long after it was mysteriously shut down. The buildings are empty. The fire pits are cold. The trails are overgrown. But the forest is not silent.

As night falls, strange sounds echo between the trees. Audio diaries reveal fragments of fear, paranoia, and obsession. The deeper you explore, the more the camp itself seems to remember you.

There are no cheap jump scares.
There is no combat.
Only tension, discovery, and the slow realization that you are not alone.

Developer note: Built by a solo developer using AI as a tool—Just a dude making fun games.

AI helps me move faster, iterate harder, and build the kind of games I’ve always wanted to play. Every design choice, system, and final decision is human—AI just lets me make the games I want to play, faster.
