Man, I hate when a game looks interesting but then you see the enemies are zombies.

Super stoked for this game. It's going to be nuts with an Oculus.
They're smarter than zombies and more like I Am Legend vampires. They're apparently going to care about each other and their own lives and will retreat if the odds turn against them. That's the stated goal anyway. You can see in the last screen, one of the mutants cradling or dragging away a hurt mutant.

Not zombies. The CVG article calls them "mutants" - they seem similar to the cave people from The Descent.

Very interesting and creepy looking. I gotta get my hands on the Oculus Rift!

Reminds me of The Descent. I'm crapping my pants in anticipation.

I don't have one but from videos, it looks like it duplicates the view (both eyes on one screen) on your monitor. I'm sure there's options for it.
Fuck yes! I can't wait to play games with the OR! Looks great,

I will never play a horror game on the Rift. Nope nope nope.
Ok cool, just didn't want people around to be completely out of the loop.

This looks great.
I'm still waiting on a good survival game though that has coop. I'd love to try to survive with a friend or two. It would add an extra layer of managing resources, planning, communication and helping. I know it's a lot more work to figure out the details, but whenever I play Don't Starve I can't help but think how fun it would be with another player.

Damn, all these crazy horror games are making going pc and Occulus kind of tempting. You guys think you could get a decent rig together for less than 700 usd including a headset?
I'm keeping my eyes on this for the future.

That was me, i posted i think the first trailer and an image in the indie dev thread awhile back. I've been meaning to post more updates as the game develops but it's really hard to find the time.
These screens look weirdly compressed, we have nicer uncompressed versions on our website http://survivetheforest.com/screenshots/ if anyone is interested
Plus, here are a couple more shots we didn't release- the woman shot since i haven't finished her hair shading yet. And the second image we thought was cool, but its so blurry we thought it would be bad to show : )

^Looks beautiful benSks. I'm sure you've been asked this before, I'm sorry if it has, but I haven't seen many posts from you so I may have missed it. Is there any chance you guys might bring this to PS4 or Xbox One? I'd snatch this right up on my PS4, since I don't have a gaming PC capable.

Horror games with the Rift?
Diaper included with every copy.

my cake, fuck off
I need this game and Rift yesterday!
Yeah we'd love to. We've actually had great discussions with both MS and Sony. The team is currently only 4 people full time, so we're focusing on the PC version first

*NOPE* threshold breached, commencing thread evacuation
First I've heard of this, I like the survival and camp-building aspects, but I hope it doesn't devolve into "safely beat pursuing monsters with a stick" like Siren Blood Curse does.
This is great to here, would love to see this on both next gen consoles.
Sadly, probably not. There is a good chance the OR will only be $300. But I think you'll need AT LEAST a $700-800 PC to run games for the consumer Oculus. Especially since it's basically just been confirmed from Palmer himself that the OR will need games running locked at ~95Hz instead of 60 like originally planned for the low persistence. For a "presence" like VR experience without every graphical effect turned way down I think the absolute minimum you should be willing to spend is $1000 for the PC+OR. Maybe in 2-3 years there will be some evolved Steam Machines that have the juice for a $500-600 price.
Man, with how intense a little mini-game like Dreadhalls is in the Oculus Devkit, I honestly can't imagine how scary games like this will be in the Consumer kit. Like paralyzingly, traumatizingly scary.
Unless you've tried a proper horror demo on the Rift devkit, you guys honestly have no idea how crazy this shit is about to get. Horror junkies will be pushed to their limits, guaranteed.

Love the atmosphere those screens exude. Will definitely keep an eye out on this.
Just watch the genuine fear this guy goes through while playing Dreadhalls.
