The seemingly relaxing hiking trip turns into the worst nightmare. The dense canopy of the Black Forest hides chilling secrets, and when I first try experiencing Heart of the Forest, a cold chill truly runs down the spine. This psychological horror game throws a mismatched group of students into the clutches of a vengeful evil spirit. Survive or die? Everything completely depends on you. A nerve-wracking experience to the point of suffocation.
PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR SURVIVAL
Ignoring ordinary jump scares, the work from independent studio Trapped Predator forces players to directly face extreme terror. Each footstep delving deep into the forest is a time past psychological traumas are mercilessly exposed. The group of young friends is being pushed to the final limit of endurance — a feeling of helplessness envelops the mind.
