Judgement: Not Recommended
View review on Steam
The Secrets of The Forest is a Early Access exploration horror game.
I feel like this game is having an identity crisis.
It's trying to be a horror game, but at the same time it plasters meme-like pictures of youtubers in the main buildings.
It's trying to be an exploration game, but there's almost nothing to find, and the game is checkpoint based so once you reach the specified location the game cuts to a loading screen. Loading points are invisible with no marker so you will be stumbling around until through pure attrition you eventually find the correct location.
Everything just feels like it was bought off an asset store. There's very little cohesiveness between the buildings, the forest, and the cars.
