Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 23 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Find Sayuri… or lose yourself in The Sinking Forest – 沈む森.
The forest whispers.
The village remembers.
And not everything wants you to leave.

You play as a young man searching for his sister in a remote Japanese village surrounded by ruined temples, flooded passageways, and fog-covered paths. What begins as a simple family search slowly turns into a nightmare filled with tension, violence, and painful discoveries.
Inspired by Japanese psychological survival horror, The Sinking Forest combines exploration, challenging puzzles, and survival combat with limited resources, where Japanese folklore becomes pure horror.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game invites you to explore abandoned houses, shrines overgrown with weeds, and withered cherry trees. An oppressive atmosphere surrounds you, as haunting taiko drums and tense string compositions echo through the fog and follow your every step.
The experience unfolds over approximately two hours and includes an autosave system to support your journey.
This is a tragic story about family, loss, and the things that refuse to be forgotten.

Juego de terror español con ambientación japonesa. Es bastante entretenido y tiene sus momentos de tensión. Duración entre 1h y 2h. Alguna cosa a mejorar: - Creo que sería mejor que el mechero se pusiera con algún botón, porque lo de la rueda puede no ser intuitivo. - Lo mismo pasa con la cámara, se me olvidó usarla y me he dado cuenta de que no sabía ni cómo hacerlo. - Después de usar el ordenador, se bloquea si intentas pausar el juego. - Me ha hecho unos giros raros en donde consigues las velas en la zona de los "saltos". Por lo demás, ya digo que es un juego muy recomendable.
EXTREMELY HARD PASS. Nothing about this game is scary, good, or even well made. It's cheap horrible attempts at everything. Any chance at horror or suspense is ruined in the first 15 minutes. Horrible story, no voice acting, muddy graphics/textures, not scary or fun. The loading screen is just a cut to a black screen with no images or texts. It's just really bad all around.

Quick Summary 7.5/10 A Decent, afternoon horror game which has fatal frame atmosphere mixed with budget horror vibes. It's not the greatest, but for the price and a 1.5 hours. Why the hell not? I hope the dev keeps growing and increasing they're strengths cause I like where they're going. Graphics 7/10 The game has atmosphere I'll give it that. Assets flips in a few places like other games by the developer, but the overall feel of the game comes through. The Asian inspired village, the large forest and even a small apartment all stand decent enough. Sound/Music: 5/10 Really, nothing stood out. The music I couldn't remember a single track, which is a shame as his latest game Scarlet harvest had some pretty good vibes to it. The overall sound effects were nothing horrible and fit the overall game, along with the game using Japanese voice acting to pull you in more, nut nothing truly caught me here. Story: 7/10 You're a brother looking for his sister. Though due to a grammatical error at the very beginning it seemed confusing if it was a brother or a sister. You start by exploring her apartment, than quickly shoot off on a forest romp that leads you to a hidden village with a dark history. I don't want to spoil to much cause the overall idea of the story is actually pretty good. Would make for a decent horror story or film if it's not already. Though the execution gets a little muddled. It's a decent early 2000's Japanese style horror film I would say. Good for the time length, just don't go into it for detail. Gameplay: 7/10 Walking simulator with a camera and flashlight. The camera is mostly used for achievements and some story tidbits here and there. You do get a throwing option later on with the oil style grenades used to take out enemies that isn't anything to write home about. Yet, the game still was decently done. The boss fight at the end felt a bit better than the more recent "Scarlet Harvest" even if it used some mechanics in theory similarly. It's going to keep you entertained enough if you're into the indie horror scene.
[h1] Points positifs : [/h1] - Traduction française - Durée de vie courte (environ 4 heures)... [h1] Points négatifs : [/h1] - ...Je n'ai pas eu envie d'aller jusqu'au bout de l'aventure ! - Jumpscares ratés - Histoire soporifique - Pas très beau graphiquement - La bande-sonore c'est une blague ? - Je me suis perdu plein de fois... [h1] En conclusion... [/h1] Je n'ai véritablement pas aimé du tout l'expérience qui m'a beaucoup ennuyé. Très rapidement, j'ai voulu mettre fin à mon calvaire. Au bout d'une heure et demie j'ai dis stop car franchement c'était insupportable ! L'histoire était trop convenue, la bande-sonore une vaste arnaque et les graphismes sont ratés. Le coup des mannequins, c'est du vu et revu. J'ai réussi à me perdre, peut-être à cause de mon intérêt pour le jeu qui s'étiolait à grande vitesse... Je n'ai pas eu peur une seule fois, les jumpscares sont ratés et j'avais juste envie de mettre fin à ma souffrance une bonne fois pour toute ! Tant pis pour moi ! Remboursement demandé >> 03/20
Went where I thought I was supposed to go and fell off the map into the void.[
Cool game. Setting is strange and creepy.
Страшные Игры на Вечер. Классный Хоррор: История как брат сестру искал.
It's an interesting horror game.
Не понимаю почему все так хвалят игру и у неё положительные отзывы. Обычная хоррор игра, у челика пропала сестра, он пошел в лес её искать, там куколки ходячие убивают всех, история какая-то, жители деревни умерли бла бла, пару загадок и конец. Скримеры: присутствуют Монстры, способные убить: присутствуют Страшная ли игра? - Нет, скримеры не пугают, монстры тупенькие и не страшные, жуткого или страшного в атмосфере или происходящем тоже ничего нет, просто бегаешь по локациям и пытаешься пройти дальше. Время прохождения: примерно 45 минут, хотя другие обзорщикам указывают в 2-3 раза больше времени, видимо плохая картинка заставляет людей всматриваться и искать вещи, проводя в игре больше времени, мне же, видимо, везло и я быстро понимал что нужно делать и легко/быстро находил вещи Почему "отрицательная оценка" ? 1) Не страшно, ну реально, я не знаю чего здесь пугаться, все скримеры плавные и не страшные, ну удар молнии в дерево был очень громкий и резкий, но почему-то даже он не напугал 2) Глазам больно в это играть, слишком размытая картинка, ещё и оттенки всего блеклые, ничего не видно и непонятно, надо пристально всматриваться во всё 3) Игра выглядит во многих местах корявенько и топорно 4) Машинный перевод, спасибо, что он есть хотя бы, но видна его сильная корявость, да и сюжет с событиями не интересен 5) Достижения: больше половины достижений это просто "сфоткай тот или иной объект", камера при прохождении вообще не нужна и её не использовал, но пройдя игру понял, что нужно было фоткать какую-то фигню, пришлось перепроходить ради этого Думаю пяти причин достаточно. Игру не рекомендую к покупке, это не полный мусор, в это можно играть, но я бы не рекомендовал, если мой обзор не отговорил вас, то берите по 50+% скидке
For now I wouldn't recommened. I Have encountered numerous bugs; Not being able to use TAB, not being able to use ESC, being flung off the map because I touched an umbrella.. I am hopeful they attempt to fix them. It's annoying needing to restart the game and / or level for it to work again.
