In The Forest Cathedral, players will experience: Unique blend of 2D platforming and 3D exploration Dramatic reimagining of the story of Rachel Carson I bought this game immediately after launch which I have never in my entire life done before as I loved the developers previous game and the premise of a historical fiction game revolving around DDT seemed incredibly interesting. Overall, I think the game was executed perfectly with an interesting blend of the 2D and 3D technology. The sci-fi technology in the game in general makes it interesting and the game legitimately looks beautiful, but the game has 1 primarily flaw, it is way too short unfortunately. The games ideas are all there are each one is executed essentially perfectly, but the the ideas do not get to fully flesh out as well as they could. At a casual pace where I spent time exploring the environment, I beat the entire game in just under 90 minutes. The game just feels incredibly short, and I can see all the ways it could be fleshed out more, but unfortunately it is what it is.
