6 itemsAbout the Game
Chasing Her Light is an emotional survival-adventure game about loss, memory, and the bond between man and dog.
After losing his wife in a tragic car accident, a man escapes the chaos of the city and retreats to a remote forest cabin — his only companion being the dog she gifted him shortly before her death. But one day, the dog vanishes into the wilderness. Now, armed only with an axe and fading warmth, he journeys deep into the snow-covered forest to find her… and perhaps, a piece of himself.
Key Features:
🌲 Progressive Tree-Cutting System – Trees don’t fall in one hit. Chop through multiple stages with visual feedback at every step.
🐾 Search for Your Dog – Each tree you cut brings you closer to your lost companion, and deeper into the forest.
🔥 Heat Management – The forest is cold and unforgiving. Stay warm by building fires and managing your heat bar wisely.
🪓 Upgradeable Axes – Improve your axe to cut faster and reach areas previously blocked by denser trees.
🎒 Resource Gathering & Economy – Collect and sell wood or rare pinecones to afford upgrades.
🏠 Survival in Isolation – Your cabin is your only refuge. Keep your fire alive or freeze to death in the wild.
Chasing Her Light is a quiet, deeply personal journey — a story of healing in the heart of a frozen wilderness.
