[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] MITE - Terror in the forest is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This asset flip is a basic horror adventure game... take a bunch of Unity Asset Store assets, dump them on a basic horror adventure game template/asset pack blueprint, and then wait for all that sweet money to roll in, what better way to get YOUR money for someone else's game assets? It was a dismal failure, of course, despite all the fake reviews the developer paid for. MITE - Terror in the forest is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either.

Thanks to the Dev(s) for free copy to made a video about (still working on it) but the game ummm....it seems like a good START...the idea of it is really interesting and creepy but it seems highly "unfinished". Don't get me wrong...I jumped a "few" times and the INTRO music now haunts my dreams. Very cool idea...just a few polishes here and there. Could be an extremely interesting game!! Maybe since its based on Japanese folklore maybe have "history points" set up throughout the forest and visiting those will maybe give a specific "buff" when you encounter that "ghost" or "spirit". The history of the "spirits" would be really neat to learn

MITE - Terror in the Forest, where your biggest worry is not your phone battery dying but a ghost chasing you through the woods! 👻🌲 Play as a hiker searching for your family, but let’s be honest—you might want to just send a text instead! 📱💀 The yokai gets closer every time you look away, so keep your eyes on the prize (or the ghost, or whatever isn’t trying to eat you).
