Такой "неожиданный" сюжет про "хтонический" лес. Такая загадка. Искусственное растягивание "сюжета" за счет исследования однообразных локаций. Под конец хтонь задушила. Даже грибы не дали захавать.

Отличная игра на прохождение! Интересный сюжет, каждый может понять его по своему. Много выборов, не знаю, сильно ли он влияет на концовку, но мне кажется, что да. Очень сильно похоже на Darkwood, но намного проще, что сказывается на цене. Есть один огромный минус - медленный герой, бегать вообще не может, однако этот момент объясняется в начале игры, поэтому...

Weird, slow-paced, and dark. At first I thought I'd hate it, but then it quickly grew on me. Uncomfortable themes of transhumanism (and not involving technology). 8/10

This game definitely frightened me. The sounds while walking through the woods scared me and the head monsters creeped me out. The head monsters look like a monster Cyriak would make in his YouTube videos, and reminded me of his video 'The Spirit of Christmas'. [Disturbing animated gore warning] https://youtu.be/toe-8ykTUT8 This game's idea of people's body being taken over by some living thing reminds me of the movie Annihilation. Pros: - Story/idea - Typing noises - I love text typing noises, it's ASMR (yes, I like ASMR - it's a misunderstood and legitimate thing) - Cute cutout characters - Grain effect is cool - Sound effects and music are decent - Nice creepy vibe in the beginning like horror stories told at a campfire - Quickly followed by a tense nightmare fuel vibe Cons: - Using a controller doesn't work 100% and any time I interacted with anything, I got stuck and couldn't move. Strangely, pressing Y on the controller got me unstuck. Y is also the attack button. - English is not perfect, with some spelling mistakes but it's good enough. Inability to move faster that I could find is annoying - Inability to move faster is annoying. At least if you can, I wasn't able to work out how. - Potential to get stuck. I stopped playing the game after getting stuck. I fell off a cliff into a small space you can't move out of. - The camera is annoying. It is mostly fixed facing one way and you sometimes can't see you character when trees are between you and the camera. - The map doesn't make sense. The real layout is different to what the maps suggest. 2 bridges East and South East from the cabin? There is no South East bridge... it seems you can only head East even though the map shows areas to the South and North West. I wasn't able to find the swamp. Summary: If this game was polished, it would be a decent creepy experience. I am giving a positive review because I want the developer to fix and improve it and it's still a creepy experience albeit annoying with its issues.

The atmosphere of the game is awesome. As if I was in the forest of my nightmare. And the storyline is quite interesting. I’ve finished this game quite quickly, got some ending but I want to replay it again to check more endings. once the developer publishes a new update related to navigation tweaks I will play it again.

Pretty immersive pathologic-like horror. I like it a lot, especially for the atmosphere

Game is good but needs sprint button
