About the Game

The Withered Mist Forest is shrouded in lingering gray fog all year round. The authorities have deliberately erased the complete map of this forest, and several successive forest rangers have mysteriously gone missing, officially reported as voluntary resignations. With nowhere else to turn, you’re drawn by the high-paying job and arrive alone at this remote mountain station. At first, you think it’s just a dull, routine forest-guarding job. During the day, you patrol the forest, inspect equipment, record any unusual activity, and complete the tedious yet routine tasks of a ranger. But when night falls, you realize: what you’re really supposed to protect here isn’t the forest—it’s yourself.

You can only follow the rules and survive.

But gradually, you’ll notice that the rules themselves are filled with lies.

Escaping the curse, guarding the forest forever, or fully blending into the mist—every choice you make will determine your ultimate fate.
