SURVIVE THE FOREST After a late night drive takes a deadly turn, you awaken concussed in the middle of a dark forest. Your car is wrecked, your only companion a dim flashlight and something inhuman stalks the woods. To escape, you must gather ancient artifacts hidden among decayed houses and forgotten monuments, all while evading the monsters that never stop hunting you. GATHER ARTIFACTS & SOLVE PUZZLES Overlast is a story driven psychological horror game that blends tense exploration, puzzle solving, and survival. Search eerie cabins, ruins, and shrines to uncover artifacts. Each puzzle you solve brings you closer to the truth, but also draws the attention of the entity that hunts you. Some areas offer brief safety others hide things far worse than the monster outside. DESCEND INTO THE UNDERGROUND Once all artifacts are gathered and returned to their rightful place, an otherworldly force awakens pulling you deeper into the forest’s true heart. What lies beneath is shrouded in darkness, and your final decision may determine whether you escape… or become part of the legend yourself. MAKE CHOICES, FACE CONSEQUENCES The story can end one way or another, depending on how you play. Some escape the forest… others become part of it. FEATURES Atmospheric Horror: From dark forests to shadowed ruins, tension never lets go. Relentless Monster: A roaming creature that hunts you until you hide or die. Puzzle-Based Progression: Solve unique challenges to claim artifacts and uncover deeper mysteries. Multiple Endings: The story concludes in one of two ways depending on how you survive the night. Immersive Storytelling: Environmental clues and cinematic moments reveal the dark secrets of the forest. 


Notes: Overlast contains psychological horror and dark themes. There is a brief scene on a TV showing a hanging figure and a bloodied bathroom, but violence is minimal and distant. Players should be aware of these minor depictions of death and blood
