Our take on The Forgotten Forest

The page emphasizes a long, intricate story, but gives a playtime of 2-4 hours. That duration sets a relatively compact scope alongside the puzzles and three endings; the description does not explain how much the endings change the story.

What is The Forgotten Forest?

Play as Rebecca, a young girl lost in a cursed forest, and search for a way to escape while uncovering the forest’s secrets.

The game combines puzzles, jump scares and deaths that can follow simple mistakes. Puzzles range from straightforward to complex. A playthrough is described as 2-4 hours, with a story and several puzzles. There are three possible endings: one identified as the true ending and two alternatives.
