99 Nights In The Forest Has Huge Potential
The game is simple. Players must survive 99 nights in a terrifying forest while searching for four missing children, all while dodging supernatural beings. The game uses a dynamic difficulty system where monster attack frequency and strength increase as nights progress. The game is inspired by a real-life 2023 plane crash in Colombia where four children (aged 13, 9, 4 years old and an 11-month-old baby) miraculously survived 40 days in the Amazon rainforest. Developers combined this real event with supernatural horror elements to create a unique survival experience.
The developers seem excited as well: "Growing up, Disney and 20th films were a huge part of our childhood, so collaborating with such legendary and enduring studios feels surreal," the trio stated. "We're excited to explore the world of '99 Nights in the Forest' on a broader stage and to create some scares in an entirely new medium." This has the potential to be a huge get for 20th Century Studios, and right up their alley. Fans should be excited.
