Through Abandoned: The Forest

Puzzle game, search for objects.

I had good hopes for this one, but man, did they drop the ball. After an "okay" experience on the first one, I will say this sequel NEEDS a patch. I got bugged out THREE TIMES, and I was stuck on a COMPLETED puzzle screen and had to back out of it.

Progression depends on solving inventory-based puzzles, often requiring players to combine items or identify subtle…

Trees rustle like in a horror movie, every step tests your courage, and I still haven’t found a way out of the forest.
