Public Alpha Release

May / 29 / 2014

The Forest public alpha releases tomorrow morning at 9AM PST on Steam!

It's been a long journey for all of us and we're really excited to have everyone join us in the next stage of development, where together we see how far we can take this concept.

We love horror, we love the idea of open world games, and of trying to push new ideas for gameplay and immersion. We know a lot of you do also. The support emails, ideas and suggestions you guys have sent us have been amazing.

Our aim for this first alpha is to release a platform we can build upon, adding more animals, more interactions, more emergent moments, polishing, improving, opening up new areas of the world and really make this into an unforgettable survival horror game experience.
