About the Game

You wake up in the middle of a bizarre, unsettling forest with no recollection of your past. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and an old cassette player, you must navigate through the wilderness, seeking clues to regain your lost memory. As you explore, your heart rate slowly begins to rise, filling you with dread.

Your only hope comes in the form of six cassette tapes scattered throughout the forest. Each tape contains cryptic, anonymous messages that provide fleeting moments of clarity and calm your pounding heart. But with each tape you find, the forest grows more hostile, and the trees seem to close in on you as if they’re watching your every move.

Can you survive long enough to piece together your forgotten past, or will the forest consume you?

Features:

  • Psychological Horror: Experience a creeping sense of insanity as memory loss and the eerie atmosphere turn your surroundings into a nightmare.

  • Immersive Environment: The unsettling, otherworldly forest provides a haunting backdrop that amplifies your feeling of being truly lost.

  • Unique Survival Mechanic: Your heart rate is both your friend and enemy. The more it rises, the closer you are to losing control.

  • Localization: Play with English or Arabic subtitles for an immersive experience across different languages.
