The Ninth Forset is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This asset flip is particularly interesting because it's a love letter from a simp to the Vtuber imaginary girlfriend e-girl he's simping over. Yeah if that didn't make you throw up in your mouth a little, you're made of sterner stuff. Creepy, isn't it? Anyway this is weaponised cringe, basically you negotiate a short path of flipped assets so the developer can get invited to a VTubers birthday party. For those of you who don't know, a VTuber is when middle aged balding men pretend to be little anime girls on Youtube/Twitch streams. Noah, get the boat. So, The Ninth Forset is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "The Ninth Forset", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. There's no English translation for the game, but that's okay. The language of bad games is universal. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

Страшная фигня, в общем игра напугала, а значит поиграть стоит. Но, если вы не знаете китайского, а я не знаю, то готовьтесь ничего не понимать.
The Ninth Forset is a really strange little horror adventure, and I liked the idea behind it almost immediately. I play as Kuiri Lulu, who wakes up in a foggy forest after receiving a mysterious invitation and has to find the correct path to reach her birthday party. I liked how the cheerful birthday setup clashes with the unsettling forest because it creates a weird sense that something is wrong from the beginning. The gameplay is mainly about walking through the forest and paying attention to what I encounter. The game takes inspiration from Exit 8, so recognizing unusual events and anomalies is an important part of making progress. I enjoyed that because it makes me look more carefully at the environment instead of simply following a straight route without thinking. There is also a small shooting element that gives the game a little more interaction than a normal walking simulator. When I encounter an anomaly, I can use a handgun to deal with it, while ordinary sections can simply be passed through. I liked the contrast between quietly exploring the foggy forest and suddenly having to react to something strange. The atmosphere is easily the strongest part for me. The fog, isolation and mysterious forest create a simple but effective horror setting, and the old school first person presentation fits the concept nicely. I also think the connection to Kuiri Lulu's birthday gives the whole thing a slightly surreal personality rather than making it feel like a completely generic horror game. My biggest issue is that the experience is very short and the gameplay is fairly limited. Once I understand how the anomaly system works, there is not a huge amount of mechanical depth left. The game also depends quite heavily on reading the descriptions of the strange events correctly, which can make the experience more difficult for me when the language is not fully accessible. The Chinese only presentation is probably the biggest limitation for me personally. The game supports Traditional Chinese interface text, but English is not supported, so understanding the anomaly descriptions can be difficult without knowing the language. That matters here because recognizing what is happening around me is such an important part of the gameplay. Overall, The Ninth Forset is a short and unusual horror experience that I enjoyed mainly for its atmosphere and simple anomaly spotting concept. I liked exploring the foggy forest, watching for things that felt wrong and using the handgun when something dangerous appeared. It is definitely limited in length and accessibility, but the strange combination of birthday celebration, forest mystery and horror gives it enough personality to make the experience memorable. Rating: 6.7/10
The Ninth Forest is a short, atmospheric walking simulator created as a special birthday game for the VTuber Kuiri Lulu. It’s a mysterious, slightly eerie adventure where you play as Kuiri Lulu herself, waking up in a foggy forest after receiving a strange invitation to her birthday party. The task is simple—navigate through the mist and find your way to the party. However, along the way, you’ll encounter anomalies that must be dealt with using a handgun, adding a light FPS element to what is otherwise a pretty serene exploration game. The atmosphere in The Ninth Forest is one of its standout features. The foggy woods give it a haunting, mysterious feel, and while the gameplay itself is fairly simple, the environment does a great job of pulling you into the experience. You can wander through the forest, lost in the fog, with only the occasional anomaly to break the monotony. The game’s art style is fairly minimalistic but effective in creating tension—there’s something about the stillness of the forest and the way the fog envelops you that keeps you on edge. While the game is short (about 15 to 60 minutes), it provides a unique experience. The shooting mechanics are light and don’t overpower the exploration; instead, they’re a brief interruption in an otherwise calm journey. There’s a certain charm in the simplicity of it all—there’s no deep narrative or complex puzzles, just a little mystery and a bit of suspense as you explore the foggy woods. The fact that it’s only available in Chinese might pose a barrier for some, but if you’re comfortable with the game’s mechanics or can follow the general gist of things, it’s easy to look past. What stands out most about The Ninth Forest is how it feels like a special gift—not just to fans of Kuiri Lulu but to players who enjoy atmospheric, short experiences that don’t need to be complex to be engaging. The game isn’t trying to be groundbreaking, but it succeeds in offering a quirky, offbeat adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Whether you're a fan of VTubers or just looking for a brief, eerie escape, this game delivers a quiet, mysterious journey through a forest shrouded in fog, with just the right amount of intrigue to keep you moving forward.
Прикольная игрушка, но сложная, но вытерпел, прошёл, с новым годом в общем.
