I've wandered around in the forest and spotted the big tree. However I couldn't figure out how to get through the gate. It is a bit unclear when an interaction on an object does something, and what is required to activate it. For example if a key is needed for the gate, it would be good to give a hint that a key is required!
I like the PS1 look you were going for and I really like the monster models! They look very eerie, well done!
