About this game Read the full description
Dagger Woods VR is a psychological thriller escape room inspired by true events and legends of Nova Scotia, Canada. Combining escape-room-style puzzles, atmospheric exploration, and branching narrative, the game invites players to confront supernatural forces, unravel mysteries, and make decisions with lasting consequences.
Set in the snow-laden Dagger Woods in 1960s Nova Scotia, the story follows Maggie Carmichael, a single mother whose three children mysteriously vanish. Maggie begins to suspect that her children's disappearance is connected to previous historical events that link her case to the infamous unsolved case of Mary-Ellen MacDonald and the fires of Caledonia Mills, NS, in 1922.
Determined to find them, Maggie ventures deep into the woods—only to face the Hidey-Hinder, the Dagger Woods Howler. There have been many attempts to find the truth; what you believe is your choice.
