Developer Brian Wilson and publisher Whitethorn Games have announced a launch window for their upcoming title The Forest Cathedral. Merging 2D and 3D gameplay, The Forest Cathedral reimagines the real-life investigation of scientist Rachel Carson into the harmful pesticide DDT that also led to the 1962 environmental science book, Silent Spring.

​

Set in an expansive and vibrantly rendered forest on a remote island, players will take on the role of Rachel, who has assumed a field research biologist position. 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? Many will try to silence her, but somehow, the truth must come out.

Key features of The Forest Cathedral include:

• Hey, Little Man: Switch control between Rachel Carson in the 3D world and the Little Man inside the 2D world of her advanced environmental scanning tools in order to solve puzzles and platforming challenges
  
• Nature in Peril: Explore a meticulously crafted forested island, dense with trees, animals, fish, and insects, all impacted by the dangerous effects of DDT
  
• The Sound of the Silence: The game features a fully voiced narrative to invest players in the harrowing history of the attempted silencing of Rachel Carson, backed by an enchanting original soundtrack

The Forest Cathedral will release on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) this Fall.
