About the Game

Extinct Forest is a hardcore, physics‑driven FPS set in a vast, abandoned wilderness. There are no crosshairs, no traditional HUD, and no weapon reloading — just you, your limited tools and predators that react to sight and sound. Every encounter is a risk, every shot a decision.

Explore forgotten facilities, solve environmental puzzles, and fight to stay alive in a world where preparation matters more than firepower.

Are you the hunter, or the prey?

CORE FEATURES

Pure immersion
Invisible UI, iron‑sights aiming, no traditional reloading, audio‑based shot awareness, and a visual health system. Weapons are limited‑use tools — when they’re empty, they’re discarded.

Smart predators
17 dinosaur species with distinct behaviors, including pack hunters, ambushers, and territorial giants. Featuring iconic species such as T. rex, Spinosaurus, and Giganotosaurus.

Exploration and puzzles
Navigate eerie locations and use physics to create openings, block paths, manipulate objects, or bait ambushes.

Dynamic world
Day/night cycles and dynamic weather that affect visibility, sound propagation, and predator behavior.

Performance options
High‑fidelity visuals with NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR support.
