About the Game

Venture into the chilling depths of a forgotten island steeped in royal history turned nightmarish nightmare in this gripping first-person survival psychological horror game. As a lone forest keeper, you find yourself marooned on an island with a sinister past—a once serene vacation haven of a king and his family, now home to the restless souls they've become.

Your journey begins in the warmth of summer, and your quest will carry you through the changing seasons, from tranquil autumn to the bone-chilling depths of winter. The island teems with enigmatic wildlife, cryptic notes revealing its dark history, and essential pickups to aid your survival. Illuminate the treacherous darkness with your trusty lantern as you face the terrors that await.

With both day and night and the ever-present shift in seasons, the line between reality and nightmare blurs. Adapt, strategize, and fight for your life against the horrifying creatures spawned by the scientist's dark experimentation.

Are you ready to become the "Forest Keeper" and confront the chilling horrors that lurk beneath the surface of this enigmatic island? Prepare for a heart-pounding, psychological horror experience like no other, complete with controller support to immerse yourself in this terrifying world.
