Red Forest is a survival-horror game built around a strange discovery in the Chernobyl area. Mutations still affect the forest’s plants and animals, but scientists have found something new: a creature they suspect may be Rake. Their offer of a large reward draws people from around the world, turning the woods into a place where curiosity and the prospect of money meet danger.
The central aim is to catch the creature, not simply to observe the forest’s unusual wildlife. The premise gives the hunt an uneasy edge: Rake was last seen two years earlier, and previous efforts to capture him failed. One scientist involved in those attempts was later found dead in a trailer among the woods, making the current expedition feel shadowed by what happened before.
Red Forest also frames the hunt as a scramble among newcomers, with a local dealer ready to sell weapons to those who want them. That detail suggests preparation is part of the setting, though the available information does not specify combat or other mechanics. Its distinctive hook is the collision of Chernobyl’s mutated wilderness, a rumored creature, and a lucrative bounty.
