Unforeseen Incidents team and Application Systems Heidelberg partner up for interactive mystery "We Stay Behind".

Backwoods Entertainment, developers of the well-received "Unforeseen Incidents", have signed a publishing deal for their new game "We Stay Behind" with Application Systems Heidelberg, publishing under their label ASHGAMES.

The game was developed and presented in early stages under its working title "Resort". Going forward, the title will be changed to "We Stay Behind" to better reflect its intriguing story.

"We Stay Behind" is a surreal tale of mystery about emotions, introspection and coping. It is heavily inspired by Twin Peaks and David Lynch, mystery TV shows like Stranger Things and narrative games like Firewatch.

A brand new PC demo is available now for press exclusive access, launching for the public during Steam Next Fest from June 13.

About the game
A comet is on course to obliterate the small town of Laburnum Creek. Renowned writer Laura Tanner visits the former health resort to interview several inhabitants who are refusing to leave. But there’s something rotten at the heart of this picturesque town. Curious characters and surreal encounters await Laura in an enigmatic journey between dreams and reality. Will Laburnum Creek cast its spell over her too? Or will she jeopardize everything to uncover the truth?

We Stay Behind is an interactive mystery short story about repressed trauma and buried secrets. As you guide the protagonist through an intriguing tale of personal discovery, your choices will literally transform Laura’s world.

I also really liked Unforseen Incidents for its art style, puzzles and compelling story. This game looks interesting and I'm glad it's releasing soon. An odd choice to not include voice acting in the trailer, but I suppose that effort may not have been finished at the time of the trailer release. After watching it, I thought I'd give it a pass since it appeared there was no voice acting, but re-reading Ana's post the game will clearly include it.

Been watching this one for awhile hoping for that release. Have not seen too many games in the middle of developement that have had a name change. Rare thing here.

I have played Blackwoods Unforeseen Incidents . I liked it but thought it was somewhat of a pixel hunt at times. Good game for me though, interesting story

Just in case some want to see some of Blackwoods work and players thoughts

I liked Unforseen Incidents without any reservations whatsoever (pixel hunts don't bother me), but I think that the scenery in this game looks even more enticing. I really like sunny scenes in games (as in real life). The screenshots reminds me of Firewatch and Vertigo.

The developers are doing a "Live Broadcast" and there is a Demo I did not notice earlier. Something to check out today

The scenes are very enticing Mikael. Reminds me of the days we went to parks and camped out. Loved that atmosphere. Like the story line as well. Glad they put a Demo up

Demo Playthrough
