My problem, does this game contain jumpscare or it is really horror?

[Mr.Jack]

I love the way this game is built but its a horror and.. well my heart doesnt go well with horrors and i may get a heart attack so i dont have the game i wish it wasnt horror And it didnt had jump scare. well thats why i didnt get the game any other persons have this problem? or do you guys think this game has jumpscares or is really horror tell me i need to know

plane crash, cannibals, mutants... i think you can figure it out. ;)
besides, if you really have that medical condition, you shouldn't be playing or viewing anything labeled with horror.

"Horror" is subjective. The game right now doesn't have cheap jump-scares per se, although if you aren't paying attention to your surroundings, you can get attacked which could startle / freak you out (it's happened to me). At which time, simply take off running! The game is in it's early stages, so no one can say what's around the corner cuz new stuff is always added, etc. If you're afraid of being scared (or whatever), perhaps Minecraft is a better choice.

Nope. No jumpscares. You can often see the mutants before they even see you giving you a large advantage. Although they take hits like a man. The only way I have killed one so far is by throwing a flaming bottle of alchohol at its face and then as a reward I sliced the mutants face off and impaled it on a stick. :)

the first time I played I nearly pooped myself when that devil woman came at me, with the three foot finger nails, I mean all that luggage and she cannot find a pair of nail clippers

LOL! I guess some women just aren't into the glamour thing. :)

Worst case scenario you can buy it and just play "Veganmode" its cannibal and mutant free. Which should be startle free. And if you play Veganmode then its basically build hunt and survive but the game does lose something by playing just veganmode.

I'm a fella (60) in February 2015, me thinks it is time for a name change, or the snip

Goodbye Dawnfire, Hello Prometheus
EDIT: OH I get you, your referring to the cannibal lady, well a name change is good

if you have a medical problem that might kill you, i fear you won't get old when you ask about the risk of it in the internet

Okay first of all don't risk anything. If you feel that playing The Forest could damage your health - or even kill you don't do it. That being said I'll throw in my 5 cents about the game:

I've had tons of fun with The Forest it is a quite atmospheric game but it is not scary at all. And I haven't any jumpscares happen. That does not mean that the game isn't a little thrilling every now and then. When you go to sleep and find yourself waking up in the middle of the night being surrounded by 3 or 4 cannibals you know you will be fighting off with a stone on a stick in the next seconds you might get a little adrenaline rush if you're thin-skinned. But it is not a jump scare its more like you see whats coming to you. You could compare it with the following RL situation:

You stand alone at the ungeround station and see three guys with hoodies and baseball bats heading towards you - not exactly a jump scare but you'll probably get a little uncomfortable ;)
