About the Game

Blackforest

Will you escape... or become part of the basement?

You wake up on the cold floor of a dark underground basement. Your head is pounding, your memories are blurred, and every door is locked. Somewhere within the maze of narrow corridors, the man who brought you here is still searching.

There is only one way out.

Explore the sprawling basement, uncover hidden objects, decipher codes, and solve puzzles as you fight your way toward freedom. But be careful—every mistake could be your last.

The killer relentlessly patrols the dark hallways. If you hear his footsteps, hide immediately and stay as quiet as possible. If he finds you, there won't be a second chance.

With an average playtime of around one hour, Blackforest delivers an intense first-person horror experience focused on suspense, atmosphere, and psychological tension. Featuring a grounded, realistic story with no supernatural elements, every decision matters as the constant feeling of being hunted never lets up.
