It was supposed to be a day-long trip. A short break from your boring old life. But things went horribly wrong. You were attacked by a creature much bigger and stronger than you. Separated from your friends. Thrown into a place that wants to kill you every step of the way.

You have no knife, no gun, no weapon strong enough to keep you safe. And even if you did, you wouldn’t know how to use it. You’re just a regular person. If it’s you against a wolf, you will lose every single time.
The only thing you can do is try to defend yourself. It will make you feel powerless and small. But it is the core of your survival. You don’t want to conquer the wilderness around you. You only want to go home.

Here, you are the prey. And the best thing you can do is avoid everything that wants to eat you. Stealth is your best friend. Every animal has a range of hearing and sight, so pay attention to stay out of their way. Step lightly and look for dense bushes or anything that can make you harder to see. Use stones to divert an animal’s attention and clear your path.

If you’re spotted, you’ll have to run. Remember you’re slower than the beast that chases you. With only a couple of meters between you and certain death, every second counts. So memorize your surroundings to avoid getting cornered. Squeeze through the cracks, jump on ledges and use thorn bushes - whatever it takes to keep the animal away.

But what if you end up facing the beast? A fast, hungry wolf, ready to pounce and tear you apart? You can still survive, but only if you managed to craft some protection. Do you have a torch? Or maybe an arm pad? Use it to get rid of the wolf, but only for a while. You know it will always come back…
