West Wood Remake Walkthrough
A walkthrough for West Wood is not a dungeon path. It is a curriculum: survive a night, open the store, buy a medallion, then start collecting the sad little badges that prove you lived in the weather. Use the child pages in order if you are new, or jump to badges if you already know Jerry’s scream by heart.
Recommended order: how to play → controls → this walkthrough’s first night → store → medallion → badges. Insert Jerry study whenever you die the same way twice.
The original West Wood gameplay tape is the patience lesson. Steal the slow civic walking, not the panic sprints. The remake looks cleaner and still punishes the same greed.
What a successful first hour looks like
You spawned, opened contracts, found the store crystal, did not sprint everywhere, picked a house on purpose, and still had stamina when something howled. That hour is worth more than a flamethrower clip. The checklist is the printable version.
After that hour, stop randomizing. Use the map, spend coins the same day, and treat Blood Moon as optional until coffee exists. The review of whether this loop is worth loving sits on the review page. The walkthrough just wants you alive long enough to have an opinion.

Keys and watches are easier as a pair. Send a friend the checklist instead of a rant. Then play a badge night so the town does not become homework forever.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers before you queue.
Can I finish West Wood?
You survive it. Badges and coins are the ending.
How many nights until I am “good”?
Once you can open the store without a guide tab, you are dangerous in a useful way.
Should I walkthrough solo?
You can, but keys and watches are easier as a pair.
Is there a final boss besides Jerry?
No. Badges and coins are the ending. Ravager is an exam, not a campaign cap.
How do I know I am ready for badges?
When you can open the store without a guide tab. Then pick rain or shopping, not McDuck.
