I fell in love with Swedish Folklore recently due to the masterpiece that is 'Bramble: The Mountain King'. This game does a decent job on delivering the suspense and horror elements. It's a nice experience. Due to it's length and limited gameplay, (yes, it's more of a walking simulator, but a good one- mind you!) I would recommend this game on sale.

I tend to love anything spooky folklore related so I was already sold on the premise of a Swedish folklore horror game and I got exactly what I expected in that sense. Unforgiving is a good title for this, at times it was a bit brutal, I had to take off my headphones at one point because it was a bit too much but they were going for unnerving and they succeeded.

I'm not gonna lie. I loved this horror game. Although perhaps not as challenging and a little more like a horror walking sim, anything that dives into mythology is going to be an instant fav of mine. Some puzzles were a little tough, but that is mostly cause I wasn't always paying attention -- however, I loved the dark themes, the survival, and although the ending wasn't the best, it beats majority of standard horror game endings. All in all, I loved it, and I would recommend it for anyone wanting a good mythological driven horror game!

In Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn, I couldn’t help but question the initial setup as it didn’t really make sense story-wise, but moving past that I was drawn into the protagonist’s trek through the woods. There were Swedish folklore-inspired monsters to either run from or sneak around; very much the typical indie horror stuff, including a limited light source and simple puzzles that required finding and using objects. It was linear by all accounts, yet it was possible to explore some areas. The thing that stood out the most was the harp, which was used to play notes that opened the way forward. I might not sound too enthusiastic overall, but while it didn't push boundaries or anything, it was a decent enough indie.
