Evaluation

Forbidden Terror: Board Game is the first episode of a self-described episodic psychological horror series. The store description explicitly states that "each episode unravels a different horror tale," making clear that this release is the beginning of a planned multi-episode series, not a standalone complete game. The game launched on October 27, 2025 as a free-to-play title. However, as of June 16, 2026 — nearly 8 months after launch — there have been no developer communications of any kind: no announcements of upcoming episodes, no development updates, no roadmaps, and no patch notes. For an episodic series, the complete absence of communication about what comes next is a concern. There is no public indication of whether future episodes are actively in development, on a timeline, or if plans have changed.

Evidence

Store description explicitly identifies this as an episodic series: 'Forbidden Terror is an episodic psychological horror game where each episode unravels a different horror tale.' This is Episode 1.

About this game

Forbidden Terror is an episodic psychological horror game where each episode unravels a different horror tale.

Forbidden Terror: Board Game

In the first episode of Forbidden Terror, you take the role of Jonah, an 18 year old living with his parents. Jonah and his parents moved into a new house that they acquired for a very low price after a family was brutally murdered there and no one else was willing to live in it. Jonah and his best friend Emily, who is a huge fan of horror films, discover an Ouija Board at their local convenience store and bring it home for fun. They had no idea it was more than a simple board game.

Gameplay

The game is designed to fully immerse you in the story of the narrator. It is primarily an atmospheric, psychological horror, first-person narrative walking simulator with exploration and conversation mechanics. It features photo-realistic graphics, immersive environmental design and a cinematic aesthetic.
