What is Bushside Rangers?

This free, single-player first-person horror game follows Vera, a teenager investigating an abandoned nature park's closure. Progression is linear as you explore, solve puzzles, and evade the park's mascots. The public version is a legacy release of the first chapter, so some advertised mechanics may be absent.

For you if...

+you prefer linear exploration in a single-player game
+you enjoy mascot horror built around sudden scares

Not for you if...

−you want horror without hiding or being chased
−you expect a complete story rather than an opening chapter

What players say
