Heart of the Forest Brings Psychological Horror to Mobile, PC, and Consoles This February

Wales Interactive, known for narrative-driven titles such as Ten Dates, has announced a new interactive psychological horror adventure titled Heart of the Forest. The game is scheduled to launch on February 12, 2026, and will be available across mobile devices, PC, and consoles. Development is being handled by indie studio Trapped Predator, with the experience drawing inspiration from legends rooted in Germany’s Black Forest.

A choice-driven horror story told through multiple perspectives

Heart of the Forest centers on a group of mismatched students whose hiking trip through the Black Forest takes a dark turn when they fall under the influence of a vengeful supernatural entity. Survival hinges entirely on player decisions, as every choice shapes the narrative and determines the fate of the characters.

Players guide the protagonists through a psychological nightmare, confronting the forest’s eerie presence as it forces each character to face buried fears and unresolved pasts. As the story unfolds, different events and outcomes emerge based on decisions made along the way. Avoiding corruption and resisting the forest’s dark influence is just as important as keeping the group alive.

One of the game’s standout features is its multi-POV storytelling, allowing the narrative to shift between different characters and offering varied perspectives on the unfolding horror. With its cinematic presentation, live-action performances, and folklore-inspired narrative, Heart of the Forest positions itself as an ambitious entry in the interactive horror genre.

Heart of the Forest launches on February 12, 2026, for mobile, PC, and consoles. Pre-registration is now available through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
