About the Game

Deep in the Forest is a BL /Yaoi Visual Novel set in a medieval-like fantasy world.

Jan has been unlucky in his search for work so far, but now he has a great chance: he only needs to win the trust of his uncle and then gets to inherit his apothecary shop!

Learning the ropes seems easy, but... what are those rumors about strange sightings in the forest?

FEATURES:

  • Around 60k words of light-hearted romance and fantastic adventures!
  • One route, seven love interests: choose who you want to be Jan's adventure partner.
  • Some (easy) mini-games.


THE TEAM:

  • Ertal, writing and coding.
  • Pandrea, sprites and CG art.
