What Games Capture the Atmosphere of a Foggy Forest?

There’s something about walking through a dense, fog-covered woodland the quiet, the mystery, the way every sound feels muffled and distant. It’s a vibe I’ve rarely found in games, but when I do, it sticks with me. Firewatch nailed that feeling, with its pine forests and hazy mornings, but I’m curious if others have stumbled across games that evoke the same mood. Anything with that same sense of solitude and quiet discovery? Bonus points if it’s got a slow, deliberate pace to match.

(Also, if anyone’s into forestry or hiking, I’d love to hear how games compare to the real thing. Maybe it’s just me, but a good cup of coffee and a foggy in-game morning hit surprisingly close to home.)

Omg yes! The Long Dark totally gives me those vibes so peaceful yet kinda eerie. Also, have you tried Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture? The foggy English village is chef’s kiss for solitude.

Nah, never played Rapture but sounds chill. The Long Dark hits different though, survival on your own terms, ya feel?

Absolutely! The Long Dark nails that perfect balance. And Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture? Pure atmospheric gold like stepping into a dream! You’ve got killer taste, my friend.

The interplay of isolation and beauty in those games evokes a profound existential contemplation art as a mirror to the human condition.
