99 Nights in the Forest is a cooperative survival horror game set in a cursed woodland where darkness is never just darkness. You and your friends have exactly 99 nights to rescue lost children, gather resources, build shelters and escape alive — all while being stalked by the Skinwalker, a monstrous man-eating deer that grows more aggressive and cunning with each passing night.

The game blends the tension of Phasmophobia with the resource management depth of 7 Days to Die. Craft weapons and tools at the workbench, cook food in the cauldron, coordinate rescues through in-game chat, and choose from multiple character classes with unique abilities. Manage your flashlight batteries carefully — the Skinwalker hates light, but your power is limited. No download required; just open the page in your browser and start surviving with friends anywhere in the world.

What is the goal of 99 Nights in the Forest?

Your mission is to survive for 99 nights, rescue all the lost children hidden in the forest and escape alive. The Skinwalker — a monstrous deer — hunts you throughout. Every night it grows stronger, so you need to craft better tools, build sturdier defences and coordinate closely with your team as time runs out.

Can I play solo or do I need friends?

You can play solo, but the game is designed around cooperative multiplayer. The Skinwalker is significantly easier to manage with teammates coordinating light sources and rescue missions. If you don't have friends available, you can join a random public session and team up with strangers.

Is 99 Nights in the Forest free? Do I need to download it?

Yes — the game is completely free and runs directly in your browser. No download, no installation, no account required. Just open the page and start playing on desktop or mobile.

How do I defeat or stop the Skinwalker?

The Skinwalker cannot be permanently defeated — it can only be slowed and repelled. Light is your main tool: keep flashlights charged and use crafted light sources around your camp. Weapons can stun or push it back temporarily, but it will always return — and it adapts to your tactics with each passing night.

What are character classes and how do they work?

Each character class has a unique passive ability or special skill — some are better at crafting, others at combat or resource gathering. Choosing complementary classes within your team significantly improves your chances of reaching night 99.

What languages does the game support?

The game is available in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian.

Does the game save my progress?

Yes — 99 Nights in the Forest uses cloud save through Playgama, so your progress is stored between sessions. If you close the browser and come back later, you can continue from where you left off.

Who developed 99 Nights in the Forest?

The game was developed by a small independent team and is available under the developer name Alex on Playgama. The game was released in January 2026 and is actively updated.
