The Dead Forest(Chapter 2 update)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
~The Dead Forest~
"As long as you are by my side, I shall keep you safe."
What started as a normal day with your best friend ended up falling into a strange forest. While stuck in these woods, you met a strange man by the name of London. He seems nice in helping you escape, but is there more to that than meets the eye? With London helping you out, you even meet other people trapped in these woods. Will you escape these woods, or will you be stuck here with the strange man?
Warnings: This game is recommended for people 18+, mainly due to the themes of: Blood, Gore, Swear, Yandere, Mention of Religion (no real religion mention), and Death.
~Current Demo~

- A couple of bad ends (Death) and a 'Joke Ending'

~What is the plan?~

>///<。London is soooo cute when he squeaks
but the fact that he knew how to get out of there and still pretended like he doesn't is sooo mean ;n;
Yeah, London, that wasn't a cool move. He can't use his cuteness to get away with it.
I loved this game! London and his squeaks were so adorable whenever he got flustered! I especially loved the part where he had to come to our rescue after he found out we were missing. Poor guy was scared out of his mind over our safety. I know you mentioned there would be some grammar mistakes, and there were, but I completely understand seeing as I'm mildly dyslexic myself. I was wondering if you'd like someone to maybe help you out with the grammar? Cause I'd love to help if that's the case.
