Rooten
There is only you and the Forest. In "Rooten" there are no compulsory tasks, time just goes by, and days pass by independently of you. You can explore the Forest, try to get out, or even do nothing at all. The forest has always been here, and always will be. You won't change it no matter what.

17 itemsAbout the Game
When you arrived at the research station, no one met you. The helicopter that brought you here won't return for at least several days. You're trapped here alone, with no contact to the outside world. And there is only IT for many kilometers around. The Forest.
There is not a single living soul around, but something else hides in the darkness. A strange, inhuman creature lurks among the roots of the trees. It knows you're here. And for the first time in a long, long time, it has decided to come out.
- The world of the game has a life of its own. Events here will happen regardless of your presence.
- A dense dark atmosphere
- Hand-drawn graphics combines 2d and 3d.
- Uncover the secrets of the Forest and the mystery of the station staff's disappearance.
- Explore the many locations of the Forest. But remember: in the Forest, curiosity can be dangerous.
