Welcome to Foragarden
In a world reshaped by Mutation, become a Forager — and set out on a journey woven with bonds, secrets, and wonder.
Nothing here escapes Mutation's touch. Not your companions. Not your rivals. Not even the weather, or the ground beneath your feet. As a Forager, it's up to you to find out just how far its power reaches.

A World That Breathes
Watch the light shift with the hours — golden mist drifting over nature-touched forests at dawn, starlit wastelands stirring only once night falls.
The seasons bend to Mutation's will, and strange phenomena can strike without warning. A Gene Surge tears through the land, twisting wild creatures into new forms. Two souls, bound by a single Fatelink, share one fate — in life and in death. Strike a bargain with the dead, and sooner or later, they'll come to collect.
An Open World Full of Mystery
Crystalline Courtyard. Ancient Verdant Hollow. Rosewisp Dreamscape. Nova Inn. Every corner of this world carries its own strain of Mutation — and its own story.
Ancient trees sink their roots deep into the earth, while vine squirrels dart between the branches. In a forgotten plaza, a colossal, crystal-encrusted skeleton lies dormant, prism spiders keeping silent watch nearby.
Some realms open only to those who carry the matching power. Some secrets reveal themselves only once you've set foot inside.


A Life of Your Own Making
Fish in quiet streams. Tend the fields of your courtyard. Mine for ore, gather materials, cook up a meal. Build a home base that's truly your own.
Hunger, sanity, Mutation — these forces are always at work beneath the surface. And the deeper you fall under Mutation's spell, the more your own body begins to change with it.
A World Full of Companions and Foes
Every character here carries a Mutation of their own. Talk to them. Give them gifts. Get to know them — and maybe even fall in love. Deepen the bond enough, and you'll be able to take on their Mutation form yourself.
The Tree Spirit Nayomi leaves wild, thriving groves blooming in her wake. The White Wolf Fenell tears through prey with a single swipe of his claws. Count Norsenlord spreads his wings and drains his enemies' life force, drop by drop. And no matter how far Skeleton Kruen's bones are scattered, he'll always pull himself back together.
A hundred characters. A hundred stories — pasts and secrets alike, waiting to be uncovered.
Step by Step, Uncover the Secrets Long Buried
Play as the male or female protagonist, each with their own storyline, their own bonds, their own ending. Every choice you make reshapes the journey ahead.
Warring factions. Mutation running wild. Visitors from beyond the stars. Every thread leads back to a larger truth — waiting for those willing to go looking for it.
