Dieses Spiel ist eine Reise durch die Gefühlswelt des Spielers. Von Angst über Freude bis Trauer ist alles dabei, gepaart mit einer wundervollen Grafik und Atmosphäre, vielen Überraschungen und einer wunderschönen Story. Ich habe dieses Spiel sehr genossen und kann es besten Gewissens weiter empfehlen.
I really like this game. The graphics are beautiful and the atmosphere really draws you in. The feeling of being lost in a mystical forest and not being able to find your way out is incredibly good. Coupled with good jump scares, and I mean good. Not the cheap ones you expect and then get annoyed when you get scared. I mean really good jump scares. I can only recommend it.
I like the atmosphere of these types of games.
Très bon jeu, se joue à la manette, ambiance un peut flippante, très beau graphique . A acheter en promo car il est un peut court 6 heures . Je recommande malgret tout .
Симпатичный симулятор ходьбы. Понравились общий визуал, дизайн локаций(лес мрачный, но с другой стороны какой-то уютный даже, домики с традиционным советским убранством), работа с освещением, саундтрек, простенькие задачи по типу "возьми предмет-отнеси туда" поддерживают занятость, но не отвлекают(это ни квест ни разу). Сюжет средненький, пару багов было но не критично, попытки напугать посредственные, ни страшно, ни тревожно не было. Что действительно напрягало - это дурацкий эффект глубины изображение(не знаю, как еще это назвать) от которого с самого начала мутило. В целом пару вечерков побродить по лесу было приятно.
[h3] Rezension in Deutsch [/h3] The Cursed Forest ist ein kompakter Horror-Titel, der zeigt, wie effektiv minimalistisches Design sein kann. Statt auf komplexe Mechaniken oder lange Spielzeit zu setzen, konzentriert sich das Spiel voll auf Atmosphäre, Spannung und das Gefühl, nicht allein zu sein. Von der ersten Minute an wird man in einen düsteren, scheinbar endlosen Wald geworfen, der konstant Unbehagen erzeugt. Die Umgebung wirkt vertraut und gleichzeitig falsch – Wege wiederholen sich, Geräusche lassen einen innehalten, und die Orientierung geht schnell verloren. Genau daraus zieht das Spiel seine Stärke. Eine klassische Story wird nicht direkt erzählt, sondern eher angedeutet. Kleine Ereignisse, visuelle Hinweise und Soundeffekte lassen Raum für Interpretation und fördern die eigene Vorstellungskraft. Der Horror entsteht weniger durch Jumpscares, sondern durch Erwartung und Unsicherheit. Gameplay-technisch bleibt The Cursed Forest bewusst simpel. Erkundung steht klar im Vordergrund, während das Spiel den Spieler langsam, aber stetig unter Druck setzt. Diese Einfachheit passt gut zum Konzept und verhindert, dass irgendetwas von der Atmosphäre ablenkt. Grafisch ist das Spiel zweckmäßig, aber effektiv. Der Wald ist dicht, dunkel und glaubwürdig gestaltet. Besonders das Sounddesign trägt enorm zur Spannung bei: entfernte Geräusche, Wind, knarrende Bäume – alles wirkt genau richtig dosiert. The Cursed Forest ist ein kleines, fokussiertes Horror-Erlebnis, das mit Atmosphäre statt Budget punktet. Ideal für Spieler, die subtilen Horror, Isolation und psychische Spannung schätzen. [hr][/hr] [h3] Review in English [/h3] The Cursed Forest is a compact horror title that shows how effective minimalist design can be. Instead of relying on complex mechanics or long playing times, the game focuses entirely on atmosphere, suspense and the feeling of not being alone. From the very first minute, you are thrown into a dark, seemingly endless forest that constantly creates unease. The environment feels familiar and yet wrong at the same time – paths repeat themselves, noises make you pause, and you quickly lose your bearings. This is precisely where the game draws its strength. A classic story is not told directly, but rather hinted at. Small events, visual clues and sound effects leave room for interpretation and encourage the player's imagination. The horror arises less from jumpscares and more from anticipation and uncertainty. In terms of gameplay, The Cursed Forest deliberately remains simple. Exploration is clearly the focus, while the game slowly but steadily puts pressure on the player. This simplicity fits well with the concept and prevents anything from distracting from the atmosphere. Graphically, the game is functional but effective. The forest is dense, dark and believably designed. The sound design in particular contributes enormously to the tension: distant noises, wind, creaking trees – everything seems just right. The Cursed Forest is a small, focused horror experience that scores with atmosphere rather than budget. Ideal for players who appreciate subtle horror, isolation and psychological tension.
One of the best walking simulators ever made. One of my favorites. I can only recommend this wonderful work of art to everyone. Thank you KPY3O, Noostyche, Grable Team!
Ez egy borzasztó sétaszimulátor volt. Semmi útmutatás, semmi árnyjelzés, minden csak úgy történik, de semminek sincs értelme :D Barangold be a semmit a semmiért stílus.....ezeket nagyon szeretem. Azt külön szeretem hogy milyen jó értékelést kapott. Se nem ijesztő se nem érdekes. Ha akartok para sétaszimulátort, ne itt keressétek.
