Forest Lookout

About This Game

Forest Lookout is a first-person horror game WITH 0 JUMPSCARES! The main goal of this game is to evoke fear and suspense in players through the game’s atmosphere. The game takes place in a Lookout tower in a forest where a lost hiker is talking to you and your goal is to lead them to safety. The hiker is telling the player where he currently is and the player needs to navigate them through the forest using a map located in the tower. In the tower the player has an option to "respond" to the hiker using the microphone. When deciding how to answer players will have to choose between avaible options of dialog. After choosing an option the hiker will follow your command. This cycle continues until the hiker manages to reach your tower. The hiker then dissapears and your job is to go find them. This is where you have to leave the tower and go look for him in the forest. You will have to rely on clues left by the hiker in the enviroment while defending yourself from a monster that roams the forest. You will have to find out a way of how to defend yourself on your own.
