Beyond the Oaks battle your way through witch-infested lands as you uncover the mystery of an ancient curse trapping you in this strange new world. Solve the mystery and free yourself from Beyond the old Oak trees
Beyond the Oaks (BTO) is a third-person, story-driven game, which weaves a compelling narrative that guides the player through a rich open world, just begging to be explored. In this way, BTO has been designed with the game's narrative in mind, the gameplay then melds with the key story themes that are being explored: what is freedom? Is control ever justifiable? The story challenges conventions and subverts expectations, whilst also commenting on our society's reliance on technology and how advanced technology is virtually indistinguishable from magic.
The story follows Andrew Jackson, a disillusioned executive who finds himself trapped in a dense forest by an invisible forcefield, and must solve the mystery of why he came to be there to return to his family. The game is set in present day Saskatchewan in the boreal forest region - the world's largest forest. With over 1 billion acres of forest, it's not hard to believe that much of it is unexplored, and may house many secrets. When Andrew encounters a village seemingly frozen in the 17th Century, and evidence of a futuristic alien faction, he must solve the mystery of how the two are related so that he can return home.
We want to give the player options as to how they tackle the challenges that are presented, and the freedom to explore the diverse world we've created as much as they like. With many upgradable abilities players have a range of different play styles, and lets players replay the game many times and still enjoy the game.

With dynamic gameplay like rolling, dodging, sneak and stealth, rush and shoot, unlock abilities, investigate clues, with help from your suits quirky AI system, new-found pals, and an old prophecy comes to life, with a new page turned, it is now up to you to discover the secrets of the bizarre new world around you. With interactive level design and a densely populated world, there are multiple ways to push forward, various routes to explore, and many secret paths to uncover in the beautiful magical world we have created. Multiple weapon and suit upgrades allow for easier battle or new ways to traverse around the land!
Witches and magical curses are not the only mysteries beyond these old oak trees. You soon uncover objects not of the past, and not of this world, scattered across the lands. Ancient alien hieroglyphs carved into cave walls give clues to a much larger and much more sinister plot.
The expansive lore and mythology includes multiple alien regions each with a unique religion/pantheon, mythology, language, culture, societies, etc. A multi cast of characters, the story of beyond the oaks challenges what we think of society, what will we do for true freedom, and how far will we push for perfection.
