Our take on Waiting in the Lime forest
The point-and-click structure keeps attention on the mystery and its unsettling story, but gives less space to broader gameplay systems. Its focus on murder, taboo subjects, and mental strain also limits its fit for players seeking a light or relaxed narrative.
What is Waiting in the Lime forest?
Investigate the death of an innocent child in a point-and-click suspense game.
Edward, a stable man who lives with his wife and dog, enters danger while seeking the culprit and the truth. The story follows Oliver, a troubled young man accused of murder and caught between reality and fantasy. Progress involves uncovering secrets in bodies and confronting disturbing taboos. The presentation combines hand-drawn visuals, pixel-art graphics, and pixel-font text. Max, a golden retriever, adds warmth to the cast but has little effect on the plot. The game’s central challenge is staying sane while facing the darker aspects of its world.
