The Cursed Forest: Remake Windows game

Congrats to everyone who is following us! We have received the Green Light on Steam!!!

The enhanced game will include a large amount of new content from elaborated cut-scenes, expanded game locations to in-game events. Added interactions with the environment will be enhanced by highly detailed locations and an updated and higher quality standard of audio. The improved visuals will be achieved by transferring the game over to a newer version of CryEngine which is more technologically advanced, and allows us to further encapsulate the games intended atmosphere. In addition to this a member of our team has the ability to use photo-scan allowing us to achieve a high level of realism and immersion.

Using Steam also offers us the ability for players to unlock achievements, earn Steam Cards and adds localization opportunities.

About the Game:

Growing up in a rural area the character you play as has always been warned never to venture into the Cursed Forest a couple of towns away; but he has never learned why. When his mother has a severe heart-attack and is taken to the hospital he knows that the quickest way to get there is through the forest, and if he drives around it he may not get there on time.

He enters the forest and drives down the poorly constructed road, the trees seeming to tighten around him and the canopy above blocking out the light. As a large dark shape he cannot make out scurries across the path in front of him he swerves to avoid it and crashes into a ravine.

Lost in the forest he finds himself uncovering terrible secrets from the past, and there are dangerous things lurking amongst the trees. Can he solve the mystery and end the curse? Well, that depends on you.

FAQ:

Q: On the screenshots you show mainly the default content of CRYENGINE EaaS, will you leave it as is?

A: KPy3O is a part of the team Noostyche. He induced us to create a remake. And he is very glad with that opportunity.

A: No, it will be commercial. We want to significantly improve the game and even make a sequel, and it's almost impossible to do without money.
