What a great surprise The Cursed Forest was. It's not a walking simulator. It's a very eerie narrative adventurer and it is very well-designed. The graphics, sound design and music are very strong. The game world has a strong, almost painterly art direction. And it can be very, very strange and unsettling. I'm very glad that I stumbled onto this game and highly recommend it.

The atmosphere is very well-crafted, both spooky yet oddly cozy. If you're into the atmosphere, it's a nice walking sim.

This is probably one of the most visually stunning and beautiful games I've had the privilege to play. I first saw the game by accident while watching a play though by YouTuber Fooster. Just a few minutes in and I decided that the game looked intriguing and captivating enough for me to buy and play rather than watch. And I was in no way disappointed. The story is enchanting and in places immensely atmospheric. The developers obviously don't take themselves too seriously as there are humorous elements dotted through each of the five main sections. There are also moments of suspense, emotion and mild horror. I wouldn't go so far as to describe the game as a horror game per se, but for those who like the odd jump scare, you'll definitely have some fun. If you like story-driven, narrative experiences, where every moment of the game is worthy of a screenshot, I can highly recommend 'The Cursed Forest'.

Just finished the game, what an experience! This game is from 2019 but feels like a newer game graphically and mechanically still 5 years later and very fun. Amazing cave and haunted forest feel with strange shadow creatures that want to kill you. 10/10 game
