About The 14th Axe Wound

The 14th Axe Wound is a chilling survival game that challenges players to evade Mason, the undead serial killer, while navigating a haunted forest filled with danger and intrigue. Created by A.V. Dossow and NewmoniaCute for the Hawktober Horrors 2024 game jam, this spooky adventure offers a captivating Story Mode that takes about 30 minutes to complete, as well as a bonus Killer Mode for those seeking a fun mini-challenge.

As you delve into the game, you’ll encounter a group of living clichés who foolishly venture into Mason Mourder’s territory. Players must make crucial choices, engage in random conversations, and explore the forest to find essential items that randomly generate each playthrough. The gameplay combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and RPG-style battles, making every decision critical—if a character falls to Mason, they’re gone for good!

With eight different endings based on who survives, the game ensures replayability. The retro aesthetic evokes nostalgia for classic video games, while the stunning artwork by NewmoniaCute and the original soundtrack by A.V. Dossow heighten the eerie atmosphere. Will you survive the terror of the 14th axe wound? Gather your wits and dive into this spine-chilling adventure!
