What is The Sinking Forest - 沈んだ森 -?
A young man enters an isolated Japanese settlement to locate his missing sister.
Ruined temples, submerged routes, misty trails, empty homes, neglected shrines, and dead cherry trees shape the setting. What begins as a family search becomes a disturbing psychological horror tale involving local folklore, brutality, grief, and revelations. The gameplay blends environmental exploration with demanding puzzles, survival battles, and scarce supplies. Eerie taiko rhythms and strained string music accompany movement through the village and surrounding woodland. The story takes about two hours to complete and includes automatic saving. As the search continues, the character encounters increasingly unsettling events and must navigate a forest and village filled with danger.
