Our take on Gevaudan
Players who expect room for mistakes may bounce off at the core escape challenge: the description says the player cannot afford to make a single mistake while crossing the forest pursued by the Beast.
What is Gevaudan?
Gevaudan is a first-person horror game set in the hunting grounds of the Beast of Gévaudan, a monster associated with an 18th-century legend from France.
The player must cross a forest alone while the Beast searches for them. Survival depends on staying alert, using instinct, and avoiding mistakes. The game centers on vulnerability and a tense atmosphere. Its story draws on questions surrounding the monster’s origins, including whether it was an animal, divine punishment, or a serial killer. The objective is to make it through the forest alive. A headset is recommended so approaching danger can be heard.
