Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple Non-Combat RPG
Embark on a unique RPG adventure as a seasoned hunter trapped in a cursed forest. This isn't your typical combat-heavy game; instead, focus is on exploration, resource management, and strategic decision-making to survive.
The Premise:
You, the village's best hunter, journey to a royal tournament only to find the forest eerily deserted. Your goal? Escape the Elven Curse plaguing the woods. Guided by a mysterious quarter-elf named Foria, you'll navigate treacherous paths, outsmart dangerous creatures, and craft powerful cloaks to enhance your survival chances.
Gameplay Highlights:
- Simple Controls: Intuitive gameplay with a maximum of three buttons used outside the main menu.
- Character Customization: While manual customization isn't available, you can reroll your stats as often as needed before starting the game. Status increases upon leveling up are only visible on the character creation screen.
- Resource Management: Collect materials to craft cloaks, enhancing your abilities. Cloaks are layered, offering stat boosts, but can be damaged and destroyed.
- Strategic Encounters: The forest harbors unpredictable creatures, from wolves to surprisingly aggressive rabbits! Battles aren't mandatory; strategic movement, and the use of Foria's "flash" ball can help you evade conflict. If caught, your choices are to withdraw or use the flash ball to escape.
- Exploration-Focused: Progress through the forest by exploring unexplored areas. The difficulty of exploration is determined by the "fog depth" and your character's stats. Use poison and rare talismans wisely to restore vitality when needed.
Key Features:
- Minimalist aesthetic and a focus on atmospheric storytelling.
- Engaging narrative delivered through a picture-story style prologue and cheerful dialogue from Foria.
- Skill selection system where you choose from a random selection of skills.
- Alchemy and synthesis systems to enhance your cloak creation.
- Autosave system (though not during battles; closing the app in the main menu is recommended for secure saving).
Version 1.2 Update (December 18, 2024):
- Fixed a bug causing unexpected transitions to the character creation mode.
- Previous versions addressed typographical errors in the scenario text and minor bugs.
Prepare for a unique and challenging RPG experience where skill, strategy, and a bit of luck are your greatest allies in escaping the cursed forest.
