About
“Sometimes you get truly lost. That's when you call someone, and they send rescue people to get you. But what if they can't find you? What if you are so lost, it is impossible for them to find you.
Do you believe in fantasy worlds? I didn't either. Until I found myself in one.”
Lempo is a psychological horror game inspired by Finnish mythology in which you play as Paul, your casual 9 to 5 guy, lost in a forest after his day of work. Uncover stories of people who were trapped in Metsänpeitto before. Make use of what little items you come by to find out what’s happening in this eerie place and go back to your peaceful life before this malevolent forest consumes you.
Metsänpeitto’s darkness is treacherous, light up your way with a lighter and flashlight to investigate environments filled with items to find and mysteries to unveil... But don’t go too fast or you’ll get lost, use your compass if you ever want to escape this damned forest. You will encounter souls during your journey in Lempo. Follow them! They might show and tell you clues you’re looking for.
The story of Lempo lies in a dark fantastic world, Metsänpeitto. A plane kept together with souls’ energy received from living beings. This is no place for a human, do not dilly dally during your explorations as Metsänpeitto is a twisted realm where the laws of our world don’t matter. Or else you might encounter beings beyond the realm of possibilities.
Experience a living nightmare with Lempo’s shivering visual and sound atmosphere. Paul is unfortunately not daydreaming. To escape this uncanny forest you will have to face unspeakable events and beings beyond your imagination.
You won’t need to fight to escape the forest, but you will have to decipher puzzles during your exploration. Dig deep in Metsänpeitto’s mysteries and solve every puzzle you find.
Will you escape Metsänpeitto physically and mentally intact?

I've played Lempo for about an hour and I had no idea what to expect going in. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in the first hour. It was not what I was expecting and that is in a very good way. It feels like a mashup of the television series Lost, puzzles like Myst and cosmic horror in a forest. That is the best way I could describe this and I can't wait to jump into it again to see WTF is coming next!!
Would absolutely recommend this gem of a game for horror / puzzle / mystery adventurers! I fell in love with this game when playing the demo back when it came out. So I guess I'm a little biased because of that in this review! BUT. I will say, the game surprised me in so many ways going through it. The ambiance and music is truly immersive and gorgeous in many ways. I at times got a little stuck and lost, puzzles are complex and challenging in many ways. But I soon realized there is also a hint option you can turn on in the settings. Very helpful! And I like that there is an option for it. Like this game will tell you in the beginning - "it doesn't hold your hand" - and I'm glad it's not, because of all the exploring and findings you will get out of it. Lempo is amazing to me, even though there was still more I could have done in my first play-though. Things I missed or didn't collect. So I'm happy that I can go back into it and see those things for the first time. This game made my mind tumble into thought. It is scary and sad, but all so beautifully crafted.
Oynanması gereken bir korku yapımı daha. Sıradan bir ofis gününde bir iş için dışarı çıkıyoruz, ormanda yolumuzu kaybediyor ve ofisin yolunu tekrardan bulamıyoruz. Uzun soluklu gerilim dolu ve yer yer bulmacalı bir oyun sizleri bekliyor olacak. İndirimi de oldukça makul seviyelerde.
An underrated gem. It could be a bit obtuse at times and some solutions, especially to some of the more optional puzzles, were very hard to figure out or easily missed. But if you want a game dripping in atmosphere, and one that lets you free to roam and poke and explore without the constant pressure of being hunted, but still enjoy an occasional moment of terror, then you owe it to yourself to pick up this game.
Nice game spiced with finnish mythology.
Was expecting a spooky game, but I got prelonged puzzle game that was missing in it's own ambiance.
引导也太弱了吧,遇到怪,我甚至不知道该怎么处理。
Beautiful, atmospheric horror adventure puzzle game. No unnecessary jumpscares, just the growing sense of not knowing what is behind the next tree or boulder. Beautiful links to Finnish mythology and (as a Finn) a weird mixture of calmness and fear while roaming the dark forests. Puzzles are unique and quite challenging, and the story keeps you hooked! I want more!!
Awesome game, I have seen add in social media and decided to buy and play it one day, also as finn I wanted to support finnish game dev. This horror game always makes you hold your breath and feel afraid, plot is interesting, suprisingly for me notes that I find during the game are interesting to read, usualy in other games I dont read them. Graphics are integral part of immersion, game creates an impression of AA game or even higher.
Jos pidät mystiikasta, puzzleista ja avoimesta maailmasta, jännityksestä, kauhusta ja hyvästä tarinasta, Lempo on silloin ehdottomasti sun peli! Kauniit grafiikat ja loistava tunnelma musiikkeineen kaikkineen 6/5 🤌🏻
