Is 480 a good score? :D Great job considering you did all the assets yourselves. I particularly liked the artwork of the cryptids on the notes. It could do with a threat, like in Slender The 8 Pages, or lean into exploration and have interesting POIs hidden in the fog that reveal lore about this strange place and why you are here. Good job, team!

You were one monster in the forest away from being Slenderman! Visuals were great and the map was designed well. Think you just needed some sort of element, like a monster  or something to up the drama. The time factor doesn't seem to really do it for me.

I scored 225 🙂 … a very strange forest indeed. GG

beautiful atmosphere! I loved the way you implemented the fog and how it gets dense in the lower altitude regions.
The game definitely has a lot of potential, you could have added more enemies and made the poster collection feel more reactive, also a good backstory would make the already thrilling environment even more haunting.
nice work team :)

I loved the tree design and the environment lighting! Also the VFX sounds were very fitting and almost relaxing while i walk through the fog reading all the creature posters. I think theres a slight lack of reactions to me collecting the items, and not sure why im collecting them, but the atmosphere is def there.
