You are alone in the forest. You remember nothing. In this live-action interactive survival thriller, the story is written not by dialogue, but by your choices.
Wordless Forest
SteamTHE FOREST IS FAMILIAR. YOU ARE NOT.
You don't even remember your name. In this piercing wilderness, your only weapon is the survival instinct forged by years of working deep in the wild.
NOT A SINGLE WORD OF DIALOGUE.
No one is coming to guide you. You will learn by living and observing. Captured entirely in live-action, this is an unforgiving world where the story is shaped not by words, but by those choices you make. One wrong decision or a single overlooked detail has irreversible consequences.


There was no massive crew behind this game. No backup vehicle to rush me to the city in an emergency. To capture this atmosphere, I went into the wilderness alone, carrying nothing but my backpack and my camera.
In the November cold, I waded into that numbingly cold river and filmed for hours in wet clothes. Out in the absolute nowhere with zero cell signal, a single misstep could cost me everything.
And I wasn't alone. Brown bears, wild boars, and snakes actively roamed the area.
This project wasn't fueled by a massive budget; it was born from my own real survival experience. I hope you feel that raw, unsettling isolation when you play.
