History VideoGame / Oakwood

* CompromisingCall: In the very last level, Madison is at one point standing very still as a T. rex slowly stomps along past her from outside a cliff enclosed path that she herself needs to later travel through...only for her friend Zoey to end up making one final call on the radio before the beast can fully depart from earshot, forcing Madison to hurriedly run through the path the creature had just left to avoid getting eaten.

* ActionSurvivor: Armed with only her wits, the environment around her, and a flashlight, radio, and pair of NightVisionGoggles discarded by her friends Carter and Dylan, Madison manages to survive the night against a single dilophosaurus, an entire pack of [[RaptorAttack velociraptor]], and at least two [[KingOfTheDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]][[spoiler:...or at least until the end of the game]]. Madison's six friends are similarly lucky enough to at least survive the entirety of their first night at Oakwood without Madison around before their own luck likewise runs out one by one the very next day/night.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The tyrannosaurus rex is by far the biggest and most physically powerful dinosaur encountered in the game. And every scene featuring it is 100% PlayedForHorror.

* StockDinosaurs: We've got a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', a pack of ''Velociraptor'', and a ''Dilophosaurus'' (complete with venomous SuperSpit) all running around the campground.

Arriving late to the abandoned Oakwood campground where she was supposed to go camping with her friends Zoey, Dylan, Carter, Emily, Liam, and Hannah, what was intended to be an innocent three day vacation suddenly takes a dark turn when player character Madison finds the violent remains of her friends' campsite not too long after her arrival. And when she starts exploring the forest and the dilapidated lodge within the campground immediately after this discovery, she learns the hard way that prehistoric predators now hunt the grounds. From there, Madison finds herself forced to explore the dark depths and ominous history of the abandoned campground while also trying to survive the prehistoric creatures who are hunting ruthlessly throughout the grounds even as they slowly take down her friends one by one. Can she save her friends and make it back out alive? The odds do not look high...

* ActionSurvivor: Armed with only her wits, the environment around her, and a flashlight, radio, and pair of NightVisionGoggles discarded by her friends Carter and Dylan, Madison manages to survive the night against a single dilophosaurus, an entire pack of [[RaptorAttack velociraptor]], and at least two [[KingOfTheDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]][[spoiler:...or at least [[DownerEnding until the end of the game]]]]. Madison's six friends are similarly lucky enough to at least survive the entirety of their first night at Oakwood without Madison around before their own luck likewise runs out one by one the very next day/night.

* ActionSurvivor: Armed with only her wits, the environment around her, and a flashlight, radio, and pair of NightVisionGoggles discarded by her friends Carter and Dylan, Madison manages to survive the night against a single dilophosaurus, an entire pack of [[RaptorAttack deinonychus]], and at least two [[KingOfTheDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]][[spoiler:...or at least [[DownerEnding until the end of the game]]]]. Madison's six friends are similarly lucky enough to at least survive the entirety of their first night at Oakwood without Madison around before their own luck likewise runs out one by one the very next day/night.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The dinosaurs featured are based quite heavily off of the ones from ''Film/JurassicPark'': ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' [[LivingMotionDetector that can only see you if you move]], raptors that resemble scaly and oversized ''Deinonychus'' (with some feathers along their backs), and frilled ''Dilophosaurus'' that spit venom (it's accurately sized, though).

* DwindlingParty: Played with in that the 'party' in question is never actually seen completely together over the course of the entire game. At the beginning, Madison arrives late to the campground a full day after her friends Zoey, Dylan, Carter, Emily, Liam, and Hannah have already arrived and ended up forced to desperately attempt to survive against the dinosaurs at the camp themselves. From there, Liam is heavily implied to be heard screaming while being killed while Madison is in the midst of inspecting the abandoned campsite not too long after she herself has arrived, Carter and Hannah are heavily implied to end up killed off by the raptors inside the Oakwood Lodge Community Hall (with the latter being heard asking if anyone's there after hearing Madison moving around and then letting out despairing 'HELP' as the raptors find her and subsequently kill her), Emily is heavily implied to die somewhere in the forest behind the lodge (although unlike the rest of the group, there is no evidence of any blood around the site of her potential death), Dylan gets killed and eaten by a dilophosaurus in the sewers not too long after ending up separated from Zoey, and Zoey herself meets her end at the jaws of a tyrannosaurus rex. And all of them die before Madison has any chance to reach any of them[[spoiler: before she ultimately joins them in death at the jaws and claws of the raptor pack at the same area where Zoey herself was killed]].

* LivingDinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus rex, deinonychus, and dilophosaurus have somehow managed to thrive within the Oakwood campground past the KT event in this game since at least the 70s, and possibly even earlier if the tribal looking markings at the end of the game are any indication, all the way into 2018.

* RaptorAttack: One of the main threats of the game are a pack of ''Deinonychus'' stalking the camp lodge and the forest.

* StockDinosaurs: We've got a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', a pack of ''Deinonychus'', and a ''Dilophosaurus'' (complete with SuperSpit) all running around the campground.

* ApocalypticLog: There are a few of these scattered about the campground. [[spoiler:One can be found in the sewer, written by Madison's friend Dylan, and it [[KilledMidsentance ends abruptly]].]]

* TheGhost: All six of Madison's friends are never seen once throughout the game, with only Zoey (and [[AmbiguousSituation potentially Hannah]]) [[TheVoice even being heard speaking]].

* WeNeedADistraction: The very last raptor encountered in the camp's lodge building takes up a position literally right by the exit of a kitchen-based AirVentPassageway that Madison ends up having to crawl through from the opposite side of the room they're both in. How to get past it? Well the easiest way, as it turns out, is for Madison to activate a microwave nearby the entrance of the AirVentPassageway so that the noise it makes upon the timer reaching its end causes the raptor to leave its post in favor of rushing off to attacking the microwave.

* DwindlingParty: Played with in that the 'party' in question is never actually seen completely together over the course of the entire game. At the beginning, Madison arrives late to the campground a full day after her friends Zoey, Dylan, Carter, Emily, Liam, and Hannah have already arrived and ended up forced to desperately attempt to survive against the dinosaurs at the camp themselves. From there, Liam is heavily implied to be heard screaming while being killed while Madison is in the midst of inspecting the abandoned campsite not too long after she herself has arrived, Carter and Hannah are heavily implied to end up killed off by the raptors inside the Oakwood Lodge Community Hall (with the latter being heard asking if anyone's there after hearing Madison moving around and then letting out despairing BigNo as the raptors find her and subsequently kill her), Emily is heavily implied to die somewhere in the forest behind the lodge (although unlike the rest of the group, there is no evidence of any blood around the site of her potential death), Dylan gets killed and eaten by a dilophosaurus in the sewers not too long after ending up separated from Zoey, and Zoey herself meets her end at the jaws of a tyrannosaurus rex. And all of them die before Madison has any chance to reach any of them[[spoiler: before ultimately joining them in death at the jaws and claws of the raptor pack at the same area where Zoey herself was killed]].

* SoundOnlyDeath: One of the first things the player hears while they are looking through the deserted campsite of Madison's friends is the distant sound of someone[[note]]possibly Madison's friend Liam[[/note]] screaming in agony. It isn't too hard to guess what happened. Likewise, the luckless survivor in the camp lodge building (heavily implied to be Madison's friend Hannah) who's briefly heard calling to ask if there's anyone present in the lodge alongside her after she overhears Madison moving around nearby is subsequently only heard subsequently yelling a despairing BigNo before she's dragged off and killed by raptors offscreen.

* TheVoice: Zoey's role in the game in a nutshell. While she is never seen once in the entire story, her voice is heard over Carter's radio multiple times as she increasingly frantically either tries to call for help or at least let anyone who might be listening know her location. Another survivor inside the camp's main lodge building similarly only gets heard first asking if someone's there after hearing you moving around in the building and then later screaming in terror as the raptors find her and come upon her. And finally, at the very beginning of the game, the players hear a voicemail from Emily informing Madison how she and their other five friends are nearing the camp, plan to leave the key outside the gate for Madison, and that they're all looking forward to her joining them the next day.
