Heart of the Forest

Nice Game

The actors are great, forest looks beautiful, VFX and bloody bits and black goo stuff are really well done. I think it's a quality product but the whole stretch in the woods when "Tom" is chasing them and they split up and come back together, split up again, scream for whoever is missing, find them, now someone else is missing, scream for that person, get attacked by Tom again, Tom leaves, Walk in the woods and scream for... it's excrutiatingly long. When the actors finally start to get attacked by evil spirits and ♥♥♥♥ it's really really great but the first half not really. I still enjoyed my time, the quality is up there.

This is one of two FMVs I have played and I genuinely enjoyed it. I streamed the initial playthrough and have since been running through trying different choices to fill out the story tree. I became obsessed with trying to save Nick and I finally did.

As a massive FMV fan, Wales Interactive rarely disappoints, and Heart of the Forest is another solid addition to the genre. I love seeing more horror make its way into FMV games. The atmosphere is incredible—it feels like a cool mix of Blair Witch and German Black Forest folklore. Some scenes genuinely nail the tension and thrills. The Good: - Awesome Blair Witch meets German Black Forest folklore vibe. - Great tension and genuine thrills in the first half. Some scenes are spooky for sure! - Solid 3 hour runtime with good replayability for multiple endings. The Bad: - Classic FMV hit-or-miss acting. - Lacking execution on some jump scares due to weird editing/filming choices. - The last third of the script gets incredibly weird and doesn't make much sense. Still, it's a solid 2-3 hours for a first run, and there's good replay value if you want to hunt down all the endings. If you like interactive horror movies, it's definitely worth checking out!

DO NOT buy this! You also can rather burn your money. This game is so poorly made, it sucks in nearly all ways. except some 1-2 actors. It's more like watching a movie and making only every 20-30 minutes a choice, beside there were really many moments I thought: "That had been a good moment for a choice! Why not a choice?!" So yeah they sck at making those games wow. And that for a 2026 released game is very poor! It'S proof I will never buy games blindly from them again. beside also most actors also s*ck, like "wow okay I don't buy you that!" thinking, and the story is damn loooong wrapping, low and extreme boring and foreseeen! (yes with 4 e's!). It's not really psychological and not horror, not for my taste, since it's way to boring, I could sleep while watching that. I dreamed after this game of a game which was really psychologial and good. maybe I am gonna do that if I had that know how - how to do that. So any dream you got is better as this game ever will be. Not worth the money, and never worth your time. And the story is written, as if a kindergarten kid wrote this! THe whole chat/conversations are so flat and boring I was like "are they newly moved into the netherland from germany? We hear all of them can speak german (I at least heard that fact in only that short amount of time!) but they all speak english like they would speak english in school teaching english woooow... "hello my name is... I like to do not soo logical stuff like running into a cave and touching strange black juicy fluid, where anyone else would think !hey do not touch that it looks like liquid tar! but I have to touch it dunny why!" The quality isn't that well, as some others here may say it is, if you hav at least a bit experience in the industry, you see that. The oftenly incorrectly apply depth of field! Where I thought: damn why? why did you put that choice of depth into this? I mean anyone who really knows how to do psychological horror would've reversed the depth of field exactly! and many other mistakes and wrong-doings! I have to say it's not near a low budget B movie, it's give me the vibes of a trash movie. The trailer only shows the maybe best moments, why maybe? because in that long wrapped and boring movie, it's not best anymore, it's mediocre! But putting them together all those mediocres and it's looks like good sht. and with so little choices this game is no near a real choices game! It's fake! So the traile is clearly deliberately misleading

As someone who has played majority of Wales Interactive FMV game, I'm well used to the charming, fan-film-style acting. The real issue here, however, is the story: it is simply too weak and slow to sustain its 3-hour runtime. This format usually works much better with trashy action or an over-the-top plot, but here, absolutely nothing happens for such long stretches that my controller actually turned off due to inactivity. The choices feel incredibly weak most of the time. While the game boasts multiple paths, the runtime completely kills any desire for replayability. If the experience were a tight 60 to 90 minutes, I might consider a second run to see different outcomes—but at this length, it's a pass. Not recommended; it's unfortunately just a massive bore.
