About This Game

Find Sayuri... or get lost in The Sinking Forest – 沈む森, the new Japanese survival horror game that blends folklore, exploration, and psychological terror in a forest steeped in tragedy. You play as a young man determined to find his missing sister in a remote Japanese village surrounded by ruined temples, flooded passageways, and fog-covered paths. What seemed like a simple family search turns into a brutal nightmare, full of drama, violence, and tough decisions. If you like games like Silent Hill, here you'll find an experience that combines exploration, challenging puzzles, and survival combat, with limited resources. Listen to the whispers of the forest and solve puzzles in an environment where Japanese folklore becomes pure horror. Explore abandoned houses, shrines overgrown with weeds, and withered cherry trees as an unsettling atmosphere—reinforced by torn taikos and tense strings—envelops your every step. A unique experience for those who enjoy the best survival horror, Japanese mysteries, and stories that keep you hooked until the very last heartbeat.

The game has autosave system.

My sister Sayuri is missing, and she hasn't answered the phone for days, I have to find her!

The game has the texts translated with automatic translator. I'm sorry but I don't have the budget to pay for professionals, I hope to be able to do it in the future!

  • Spectacular graphics thanks to Unreal Engine 5

  • A tragic and macabre horror story

  • Survival Horror where enemys can kill you (and defend your self!)

  • Japanese forest and village setup with great ambience

  • Enemys can kill you
