Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple RPG Adventure
Embark on a captivating non-field RPG journey as a seasoned hunter trapped in a cursed forest. This minimalist adventure focuses on strategic decision-making and resource management, rather than complex combat systems.
Prologue:
You're the village's best hunter, lured to a national hunting tournament near the royal capital. Upon waking after your first night camping, you discover a chilling scene: the tournament grounds are deserted, leaving only the remnants of a once-bustling camp. The forest itself seems to play tricks on your perception, leading you in circles and raising unsettling questions. Your journey to escape begins now.
Key Features:
-
Elven Curse: Unravel the mystery behind the forest's curse with the enigmatic help of Foria, a quarter-elf who secretly assists your escape.
-
Simplified Controls: Navigate the game using a maximum of three buttons at a time, making gameplay accessible and intuitive.
-
Character Creation: While character customization is limited, you can reroll your stats as often as needed before starting the game. Remember, these stats cannot be checked in-game.
-
Foria, the Peddler Quarter-Elf: This mysterious child-like character provides crucial support, using the forest's ancient spirits to aid your escape.
-
Atmospheric Storytelling: The narrative unfolds smoothly, with engaging dialogue and a subtle yet evocative world-building style.
-
Exploration: Discover hidden paths by exploring unexplored areas. The success of each exploration attempt depends on your character's stats and the area's "fog depth."
-
Hunter Battles (Optional): Encounter various creatures, from wolves to surprisingly aggressive frogs and rabbits. Defeating them yields materials for trading. Battles are entirely avoidable, but require careful planning and potentially a bit of luck. Combat involves maintaining distance to shoot your bow and arrow, or using wound medicine to recover health. If caught, you can attempt to escape or use a special flash ball.
-
Cloak System: Craft a mysterious cloak from collected materials to enhance your abilities. Multiple layers offer increased stat boosts, but be aware that your cloak can be damaged and eventually destroyed.
-
Skill Selection: Choose from a variety of randomly presented skills to enhance your survival chances.
-
Auto-Save: The game features an auto-save system, but the save points are not consistently placed (e.g., not during battles). Save frequently from the base menu for optimal progress preservation.
