Hi,
The development of the game started in 2018 with the idea of making a game in a similar style to Slender and other old classic indie horror games from the 2010s which slowly stopped existing.
It was going well at the beginning but after less than a year half the team working on it left and they took the content they made with them leaving me here with only a small part of the project to work with which even putting a lot of effort I was not able to work on it, after discussing with our community on Discord I released some small updates with prototypes of what each stage would be just so we could get an idea of what it would look like which got the game up to the stage 5.
I had the game files on an old hard drive which ended up corrupting which made me have to remake most of what I used to have, I even had to rip the game files from the Steam build to remake it which made a lot of things break making the new version be released with less content but being a bit more refined, the AI we previously made broke with Unity updates and going back didn't fix it so I just moved on releasing the new version with a simpler AI and the second part of the stage 5 missing which was completely lost along with Steam achievements scripts.
After talking with the Discord community once again about the state of the game we got to an agreement of leaving the game as it is on Steam without releasing anything new, they said it wasn't harming anyone so I agreed to leave it there, then they told me to move on to another project which I did, but I feel like it would be way better to remove it from here as I don't feel well knowing people might buy something that won't get updated and is incomplete.
With that, I'm removing The Secrets of The Forest from Steam.
Thanks for the support everyone, and sorry angry reviews for the game being incomplete, with everything that happened I wasn't able to deliver what I wanted and I feel bad for that, I'm really sorry.
It took way longer than it should for it to be removed and that's not making me feel good so hope you all understand.
Cya!
