Microsoft pulls indie Xbox “Suicide Forest” game

3.8
Someone created a game that appeared prominently in the Xbox Creators Collection that emulated Logan Paul’s infamous trip to the Aokighara Forest. The game, titled, “The Suicide Forest,” was rated PEGI 3 (for ages 3 and up) was noticed first by Bearskopff on Twitter, who is the Global Comunity Manager for TT Games, the game developers behind all those multi-platform LEGO games.


Eurogamer picked up on the story and reached out to Microsoft for an explanation and the game was quickly pulled. The game was created as part of the Xbox Creators Collection that is obviously not very closely-monitored for content.

If you are unfamiliar with Logan Paul and his “Suicide Forest” YouTube video, that can be cleared up quickly with a Bing search. The Xbox Creators Collection game was quickly pulled when it was brought to the immediate attention of Larry Hryb, Xbox community manager, also known as Major Nelson.

From watching a few gameplays of suicide forest I do not understand how it passed into the marketplace. Nothing decent, just a representation of Logan's journey in a forest in Japan where they commit suicide.

I can see why it would get removed even without a title like that.

-Lewy How does this even get to the store in the first place looool?


Im not sure either, i believe it goes through a quick review system where they take a quick scan to see if its corresponds with the rules. but not sure how this can go positive through it lol


It is kinda sad that this game even mad it to the store. It is even more sad that it had to be taken down because od what happened on youtube. At least that is why I think it got taken down.
