Uncover the Horrors of Human Impact in The Forest Cathedral – Coming to Xbox and PC Next Week

Next week, the environmental thriller inspired by the real-life study (and political suppression) of the harmful effects of DDT — The Forest Cathedral — launches for Xbox and PC. Publisher Whitethorn Games and developer Brian Wilson invite you to explore the mysterious Science Island, inspired by the majesty of the Forest Cathedral found in Cook Forest State Park, as they seek out the reasons behind the surge of dying wildlife.

Inspired by the events surrounding real-life scientist Rachel Carson’s investigation of the harmful pesticide known as DDT, The Forest Cathedral is a dramatic reimagining of Carson’s environmental science book Silent Spring. Players will take on the role of Rachel, who has embarked on a field research biologist position on the island. 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.
