15 Scary Forests in Video Games

Spooky locations persist in a number of video games but there’s something especially eerie about forests. Perhaps it’s the surrounding trees and how they’re seemingly watching the player. Maybe it’s the atmosphere that can go from still to terrifying in an instant. Whatever the case may be, let’s take a look at 15 spooky forests from various games.
