Publisher PID Games and developer One Trick Entertainment have released Lempo, their new Finnish psychological horror game.

Lempo is now available for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new gameplay trailer:

“Sometimes you get truly lost. That’s when you call someone, and they send rescue people to get you. But what if they can’t find you? What if you are so lost, it is impossible for them to find you.

Do you believe in fantasy worlds? I didn’t either. Until I found myself in one.”

Lempo is a psychological horror game inspired by Finnish mythology in which you play as Paul, your casual 9 to 5 guy, lost in a forest after his day of work. Uncover stories of people who were trapped in Metsänpeitto before. Make use of what little items you come by to find out what’s happening in this eerie place and go back to your peaceful life before this malevolent forest consumes you.

Will you escape Metsänpeitto physically and mentally intact?
