horror adventure game's release through Steam Early Access May 30 .
Previous trailers for the first-person survival game have shown us fort building, spear fishing, and beautiful and glimmering caves full of rotting corpses strung up like frozen meat, making the game's Steam description sound profoundly true to the developer's concept: "Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator."
There's a dissonance here that reminds me of being a kid, sneaking through the dark woods behind my house in rural Washington state, never quite sure what was over the next ridge. Lots of times I kept going, but more often than not I turned back. The irrationality of plane crash anxiety aside, it's the kind of deep-seated fear I recalled when I first came across The Forest through Steam Greenlight nearly a year ago. This time, I'm looking forward to the not-knowing of green trees and dark places this game wants to explore.
