IGF 2024 Finalist - Nuovo Award

Mar 14, 2023

The Forest Cathedral

The Forest Cathedral is a first-person environmental thriller set on a remote island. Playing as scientist Rachel Carson, players will slowly uncover the effects of DDT by using advanced environmental technology to solve 2D/3D connected puzzles in this dramatic reimagining of Silent Spring.

Hey everyone, my name is Brian Wilson and I'm the creator of The Forest Cathedral. Being nominated for the Nuovo Award (which is my favorite category in the IGFs) is an absolute honor. The Forest Cathedral is a strange, difficult, and beautiful game about science and loss. So our work in making the game as accessible as possible for everyone to play, is what I'm most proud of. Of course, I couldn't have done this without my awesome team or publisher Whitethorn Games - so, thank you! Be sure to tune in to the award show live on Twitch on March 20th or if you are in San Francisco for GDC, please, come say hi!
