Story

“The Endless Forest” is a tense and suspenseful psychological horror thriller that tells the story of a lone traveler who becomes lost in a remote forest. As time passes, he discovers that he is not only lost in a physical space, but also trapped in a psychological labyrinth where terror and hallucinations intertwine. The eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the forest slowly erodes his sanity, and he must struggle to escape, all while confronting the terrifying possibility that he may never leave the forest alive.

The story centers around Li Yuan (working title), a city dweller who, feeling the weight of life’s pressures and dissatisfaction, decides to embark on a solitary hiking adventure in a remote forest. His goal is to find peace of mind and gain a new perspective on his life. However, shortly after entering the forest, Li Yuan begins to feel an overwhelming sense of dread. It seems as though an unseen force is watching him, forcing him deeper into the vast, endless woods.

At first, he thinks he is merely experiencing the common disorientation of being lost, but as time goes on, he realizes that he cannot find his way back. Worse still, it feels as if the forest has no end—it seems to be controlled by a supernatural force. As he ventures further into the forest, he begins seeing strange visions—trees that appear to shift, eerie sounds in the distance, and animals that vanish or become unrecognizable.

As the sense of being lost intensifies, Li Yuan’s mental state begins to fracture. He can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is a hallucination, slowly becoming trapped in a chaotic psychological state. Every step he takes seems to lead him deeper into the forest, as though he is stuck in an invisible loop. His isolation and fear gradually consume his sanity. He begins to wonder whether the forest itself is an uncanny entity or if the true source of terror lies within his own mind.

As the film progresses, the audience becomes immersed in Li Yuan’s psychological unraveling. His previously calm and rational nature begins to crumble, and his emotions and reasoning begin to split apart. The hallucinations—voices, figures, and distorted images—perpetually invade his mind, making it impossible for him to focus on reality. The most chilling aspect is when Li Yuan starts hearing whispers from deep within the forest, urging him to make a choice—whether to continue his escape or confront the terrifying unknown.

The film reaches its climax when Li Yuan finally comes to the horrifying realization that he is trapped in a nightmare of his own making. He is forced to make a choice: to keep struggling and search for an exit, or to face his own fears and accept the forest for what it truly is. The ending leaves the audience with no clear resolution—Li Yuan disappears into the endless forest, or perhaps he merges with it, becoming part of the world he has sought to escape.

“The Endless Forest” is a film that is not only visually and narratively gripping, but it also delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the psychological struggles we face in the face of extreme isolation and fear. The film combines suspense and terror to blur the lines between life and death, fantasy and reality, forcing the audience to question what is truly terrifying. The forest is no longer just a natural space, but a symbol of the deepest fears within the human soul.

Risk Warning

Please note, participating in crowdfunding projects involves certain risks…

Investing in projects on a global creative crowdfunding platform, whether supporting creative projects or participating in crowdfunding activities, involves certain risks. To make more informed investment decisions, we recommend that you carefully read the following risk warnings before participating in any crowdfunding project:

1.Project Risks Crowdfunding projects are typically in the early stages and carry a high level of uncertainty. Projects may experience delays, failure to meet targets, or even complete failure due to factors such as technical challenges, insufficient market demand, or weak team execution. Please make sure to thoroughly understand each project's background and objectives before making a rational investment decision.

2.Funding Security Risk During the project support phase, the funds you donate or invest are not directly used to purchase products or services, but rather to support the project in achieving its goals. Therefore, the use of project funds and the fulfillment of commitments are not related to the platform, and we cannot take responsibility for the project's financial operations or fund security. We recommend that you thoroughly understand the credibility and history of the project before participating.

3. Product Delivery Risk The core of crowdfunding projects is usually the commitment to deliver products or services. Due to various factors such as production, logistics, and technology, the delivery timeline of promised products may change or be delayed. When supporting a project, please maintain realistic expectations and understand that the project may be affected by uncontrollable factors.

4. Market and Industry Risk Some creative projects may face challenges from external factors such as insufficient market demand, intense competition, and changes in industry policies. These factors may lead to the project failing to be completed smoothly or unable to achieve profitability. Therefore, market uncertainty and industry changes are risks that cannot be overlooked.

5. Legal and Compliance Risk Crowdfunding projects may involve legal regulations from different countries and regions. Project initiators may face legal disputes if they fail to comply with relevant laws. We recommend that you check the legal compliance of the project in its location before supporting it to avoid risks from non-compliant projects.

6. Investment Return Uncertainty Crowdfunding support is not the same as investing in the stock market or venture capital, and the projects you support are not set up with the goal of providing financial returns. Please be fully aware that participating in crowdfunding activities may not yield the expected returns and may even involve the risk of investment loss.

7. Limitation of Liability This platform serves as a crowdfunding service platform, providing technical support and platform services. However, we do not take responsibility for the project's operational status, progress, or product quality. We encourage investors to make independent and rational decisions and take responsibility for their investments.

Friendly Reminder

Rational Investment: Crowdfunding is a high-risk investment method, and funds should be invested based on thorough understanding and consideration. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.

Cautious Evaluation: Before participating in any crowdfunding activity, it is recommended that you thoroughly understand the project's background information, goals, and team capabilities, and actively communicate with the project team to ensure a full understanding of the risks.

Regulatory Authorities: This platform collaborates with multiple regulatory bodies globally to provide a transparent and fair crowdfunding environment. However, we still recommend that you pay attention to the compliance of both the platform and the project team to ensure the legality of your investment.

Our Handling Process

The Trust & Safety Team will thoroughly review the received reports and determine the actions to be taken based on the platform's rules and terms of use.

If a project is found to violate the rules, we will take appropriate actions based on the severity of the violation, including but not limited to: warnings, project suspension, disqualification, or project deletion.
