About the Game

Step into a mysterious, ever-changing forest where danger lurks behind every tree.

Every run is unique. Every death teaches you something new. Can you survive long enough to discover the truth?

The Story

I

The Awakening

You awaken in a dark forest with no memory of who you are or how you got here. The only clue is an ancient amulet around your neck, pulsing with mysterious energy.

II

The Curse

The forest is cursed. It shifts and changes, never the same twice. Creatures of darkness roam the shadows, and whispers speak of an ancient evil that awakens.

III

The Truth

Deep within forgotten temples lie the answers you seek. But be warned - the forest does not give up its secrets easily, and death awaits those who are unprepared.
