About the Game

Elsie awakens in the enchanted Wonderwoods, where whispering trees and living fog blur the line between reality and illusion. Lost and searching for a way home, she is guided by unlikely companions—a gnome named Igor and a ghost called Balduin—to a hidden village deep within the forest.

There, the mysterious elder Lumi Sevenwinter claims she can lead Elsie home. But the Wonderwoods do not release their travelers so easily. With every step forward, home seems to drift farther away. The forest follows its own rules, truth is fragile, and even good intentions can lead Elsie astray.

Explore a shifting world, meet unforgettable characters, and make choices that shape Elsie’s journey. Uncover what the forest truly wants—and whether “home” is still waiting at the end of the path.

An episodic fantasy visual novel about loss, wonder, and finding your way when the destination keeps moving.
