00:00Forest Trains is a story-driven first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Paris.
00:21You are going to explore, investigate, and survive in a city overtaken by the forest.
00:27It will set traps on your way, and the environment will react to your actions.
00:32It becomes even more dangerous at night.
00:34Also, some areas require special equipment.
00:39In the game design, we focus on playthrough variability and the player's freedom of choice.
00:44In this video, we'll demonstrate this using one of the in-game missions about two factions'
00:50conflict as an example.
00:51We'll help the Citizens faction, which is focused on mutual help and cooperation, fight
00:56NQA, a bandit-like faction of mercenaries, who go against them and have captured their
01:02scout leader Rémy.
01:03Let's see different scenarios of how the mission could be accomplished.
01:10The first option is a direct assault together with a squad.
01:13Here, the best weapons are those upgraded for combat, switch scopes, extended barrels,
01:19and faster reload speed.
01:21You might use the Citizens squad for backup, but keep in mind losing members affects your
01:26relationship with the faction.
01:28Shoot the roots to trigger the forest aggression, and use them as a cover.
01:38The enemy was hiding behind the root cover, so we fired up an exploding blister to force
01:43them out.
01:45The path is blocked by bladegrass, cutting anything that moves.
01:50A tourniquet helps.
01:54That's why we attack from the flank.
01:55This helps us eliminate several enemies.
01:58You can't peek from cover, however, a bullet-reflecting bush can help you hit nearby targets.
02:26After eliminating the last enemies inside, you finally get the key to Rémy's prison.
02:36Stealth is an alternative way to complete the mission.
02:39The night is the best time for this.
02:41A suppressor, a 4x scope, and recoil reduction.
02:45That's a good set to silently take out your enemies.
02:48At night, everything changes.
02:50The creatures become active, and the scouts have returned to base, so you can't rely
02:54on their help.
03:02The NQA has also closed the gates, but with challenges, new opportunities arise too.
03:11While exploring the street, you spot a way over the fence, but you can't simply jump
03:15there.
03:21Let's see how this rattle fern can help.
03:27You also can harvest a special nature-infused grenade from it, but after that, it grabs
03:32you and lifts you up.
03:34But if you hesitate, it'll explode.
03:38Voilà, you used the plant as a springboard to the wall.
03:48The grass that blocked the passage before now helps you take down the guard unnoticed.
04:05And your rattle fern grenade lets you silently eliminate targets from a distance.
04:14Open the gate to distract the hostile faction, and let the hungry boars in.
04:18They will keep the enemies busy for a while.
04:36Trigger rattle fern to activate the trap, and keep control over the ground floor.
04:46The first one is gone.
04:54And the second is gone too.
05:06You're free to navigate the streets and admire the architecture, climb into apartments to
05:11see their luxurious interiors, discover charming hidden yards without tourists, and experience
05:16the city from every angle, uncovering its backstory along the way.
05:22Exploring can be rewarding to open up new possibilities for you.
05:25A gas mask.
05:26You'll need it as soon as you enter the underground tunnel, filled with toxic pollen.
05:32That tunnel leads to the NQA building's basement.
05:36Except for the hazardous pollen, packs of rats may become a serious problem in limited
05:41spaces.
05:45Additionally, shooting in the pollen-filled spaces will damage your weapons.
06:04Use a ventilation system to release the pollen right onto the enemy heads, neutralizing them.
06:09Pollen disorients unprotected enemies, causing intoxication and altering consciousness.
06:17Kill or spare them, but remember, every choice shapes your path in the game.
06:21Now clear the area.
06:23The key is right there.
06:25Grab it, and free Rin.
06:29Forest Rains is all about the player's freedom.
06:32Will you choose one of these three approaches?
06:35Or come up with your own unique style?
