Red Forest
A downloadable psychological-horror for Windows
紅森林
Submission for HPS1 Halloween Jam 2020.
The woodcutter began hearing voices in his head. At first just whispered but soon the voices grew louder and clearer. Urging him into the woods to kill the demonic spirits feeding on their flesh. He can resist the voices and ask the strange man in the wood for guidance. This man tells him to collect the talismans for he is being tricked by a forest demon.
Red Forest is an atmospheric horror experience about being loosing your mind in the woods, with multiple endings, it was made in 3 weeks for the Haunted PS1 Jam with a theme of "Folk Horror". Which will have an additional two weeks added put into it.

cool game, could u tell me a little about the system for visual effects / when u pick up the axe ? I recognize the thing from where you pick up the axe from another game, is it from the asset store ?
Hey thanks for playing the game! It's not from the asset store I made it as a custom visual for the game using a secondary camera layer mask trick, if you want me to go into more details you can always message me on twitter! :)
did u upload it somewhere? in the game M Stain its the exact same when u pick up items, idk if u know it or not :)
It's at the bottom of the game page for red forest send me a message I'll give you some more details! :D
The game's ok. I just wanna see the inside of that temp and maybe see the bunny when I'm going that route.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Hey Levont! Thanks so much for playing! I was under a huge time constraints realistically I was only able to work on it for the 2 weeks instead of the 40 days for the jam. Between that and making all the assets. I am hoping to rectify that by going back and adding in an update to the game as the temple will play a bigger part in the end game as well as adding in Villagers that are effected differently depending on your actions and other things like sanity effects, npc interactions and puzzles!

COOL
Hey thanks so much for playing I really appreciate it! I'm planning on updating the game and fleshing it with an update in the next 3 weeks!
