Looking to blend 2D and 3D gameplay, Whitethorn Games and developer Brian Wilson have announced that their environmental thriller title The Forest Cathedral will launch next week! Players are invited to explore the mysterious Science Island, inspired by the majesty of the Forest Cathedral found in Cook Forest State Park, as they seek out the reasons behind the surge of dying wildlife. 

Inspired by the events surrounding real-life scientist Rachel Carson’s investigation of the harmful pesticide known as DDT, The Forest Cathedral is a dramatic re-imagining of Carson’s environmental science book Silent Spring.

Players will take on the role of Rachel, who has embarked on a field research biologist position on the island. While completing her weekly tasks, she quickly realizes things aren’t as they seem. Players will slowly uncover the horrific effects of the pesticide using advanced environmental technology to complete puzzles that weave together 3D exploration and 2D platforming. What secrets will Rachel discover on this island?

The Forest Cathedral is set to launch on March 14th for Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
