Our take on The Cursed Forest
The short campaign keeps the experience focused on atmosphere, mystery, and exploration, but leaves limited room for extended character development or repeated playthroughs. Its occasional humor also trades some sustained horror tension for a less uniformly grim tone.
What is The Cursed Forest?
The Cursed Forest is a horror-adventure game set in an autumn forest filled with mystical creatures and hidden secrets.
After a car crash strands the protagonist among the trees, the game follows an effort to investigate the forest’s past, survive its dangers, and rescue an innocent soul trapped in a monstrous form. Exploration includes choosing paths through the environment and encountering unusual situations, including humorous moments. The story is divided into 5 sections and includes simple achievements. A full playthrough takes around 4 hours. The remake uses CRYENGINE 5, adds a new storyline and updated graphics, and includes fan-provided Hungarian, Italian, French, Polish, and Turkish localization.
