Our Expert Score

86/100

Deep In The Woods is a poetic and visual triumph. From the creators of the Isoland series, this game feels like an interactive oil painting. The point-and-click mechanics are standard, but the implementation is anything but. You aren't just clicking items; you are swiping and dragging through scenes that feel alive, exploring the changing seasons and the passage of time in a way that feels incredibly personal.

The puzzles are well-integrated into the environment, requiring you to really observe the art rather than just hunting for pixels. It’s a meditative experience, though it occasionally challenges you with mini-games that require a bit more reflex than you might expect from a 'relaxing' game. Overall, it’s a beautiful journey that proves mobile games can be high art.

Best game

I really enjoyed this game. It’s different than ISOLAND but once you get use to the different control and atmosphere of the game it is beautiful. I really enjoyed the scenery and different seasons. It was challenging and relaxing at the same time. It was enjoyable to interact with all the great puzzles. And the interacting games at the end were simply the best

Fantastic

This is slightly different than the rest of the Cotton games, but it was really enjoyable, and I highly recommend it. The puzzles were definitely challenging and the story was fun. Definitely give it a try, just a really lovely little game. Thanks for the hard work.

Just Lovely!

Ruined by arcade games

Cotton Games is my all time favorite developer. But this isn’t the first time they ruined a game by including mandatory arcade mini games. Not everyone has the ability to compete scenes that require tremendous dexterity and quick reflexes. I’m unable to advance any further because of this and it was a waste of my money. If you’re going to include puzzles like this, there should be an option to skip it. Please be more considerate of players who may have mobility issues.

Amazing game!
