Dark Realms: Mysteries of Hoia Baciu Forest changes
We’re excited to finally share the Pre-Alpha build of our game with you. This early version represents the first playable slice of the experience and allows you to explore a portion of Hoia Baciu Forest, also known as 'The Bermuda Triangle' of Transylvania.
In this build, you will step into the role of Alex. You are a man haunted by a memory you can’t escape and a guilt you can’t name. When a voice-familiar, yet impossible-whispers your name from the shadows of the world’s most haunted forest, you don't run away. You walk right in.
Survive the Cult
You are being hunted. Between the twisted trunks and glowing runes, mysterious forces are watching your every step. Trust Your Senses: When your vision blurs and your heart races, the forest has already won.
You will encounter one of the cult’s most dangerous followers, the Blood Eye Cultist, a mad exile who now roams the forest searching for victims to prove his devotion to an ancient entity.
Important: This is a Pre-Alpha build, meaning many systems, visuals, and gameplay elements are still in development. You may encounter bugs, unfinished mechanics, and placeholder content. Your feedback is extremely valuable and will help shape the future of the game.
What you can expect in this build:
Act 1 (out of 6) for the story being developed and ready for being played
Redesigned several gameplay systems
The first AI encounter with the Blood Eye Cultist
Updated inventory, flashlight, objectives and interaction mechanics
Early atmosphere and environmental storytelling
If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, please share them in the Steam Discussions. Your feedback will directly help us improve the experience.
Thank you for supporting the project at such an early stage. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to continue developing the game together with the community.
Stay safe in the forest…
