About the Game

An odd looking forest full odd places, filled with dark corners and many strange faces.
A blank slate awakens on one fateful morning, unsure of your purpose, you take on a journey.
A world full of tales, mystery, doubt. It'll take a detective to figure it out.
A soil of sadness, an intertwined net, the deeper you dig, the grimmer it'll get.

The lay of this land is unfriendly and dark, be sure to prepare for quests you embark.
Doubt not, you'll encounter vast strangers and fiends. Old creatures, unnerved, undead and unseen.
Prevail and survive or turn into dust., make smart use of acquired resources you must.
The day and night roll and with them change tides. By day you must scavenge, by night you must hide.

And still you're a subject of human afflictions, to dig up the story within this dark fiction,
Explore and discover, and harvest and sow, craft tools and brew substance to aid in your goal.
Crawl though deep, glum crevice, reach heights of unseen, engage in a conflict of humans within.
The further you reach the more will story unveil, the more you will find there's much more to this tale.
