This simple, non-field RPG challenges you to escape a cursed forest. -Prologue- You're the village's best hunter, drawn to a national hunting tournament near the royal capital. Arriving for the opening ceremony, you excitedly enter the forest the following day. Upon waking after your first night, you discover something unsettling: everyone's vanished, leaving behind only the remnants of a large hunter encampment. National guards oversee the tournament; yet, the forest is eerily deserted. Cautiously exploring, you realize you're disoriented – retracing your steps leads you back to the same spot. Your usually impeccable sense of direction has failed you. The situation is bizarre; moving or staying put yields no progress. Fighting panic, you press onward.
-What is the "Elven Curse"?- Aided by a quarter-elf, you, the hunter, must escape the cursed forest. Gameplay is exceptionally streamlined, using at most three buttons outside the main menu.
-Character Creation- While manual customization isn't available, you can freely reroll your stats. Status increase rates upon leveling are only visible on this screen; this information isn't accessible during gameplay. A return-to-menu item. With less than two "talismans," losing all life force results in character death.
-Foria, the Peddler Quarter-Elf- A boy (?), encountered in the forest, who claims to be a quarter-elf and older than you. Despite disclaiming involvement, Foria secretly assists your escape using the forest's ancient spirits.
-Scenario and Setting- The prologue unfolds like an illustrated story. Foria's dialogue is cheerful, while the overall tone is quiet, simple, and subtly suggestive.
-Exploration Mode- Forest paths connecting bases are revealed by exploring unexplored areas. Exploration success is determined by "fog depth," influenced by your character's stats. Exhausting your life force necessitates using poison or rare "talismans" to recover, possibly requiring a return to Foria.
-Beast Encounters & Hunter Battles- Fierce creatures, including wild dogs, wolves, and surprisingly, frogs and rabbits, inhabit the forest. Defeating them yields hides for trading with Foria. Unlike typical RPGs, combat doesn't provide experience points. The goal is escape; there are no set boss battles, and all encounters are avoidable (though this requires luck or strategic gameplay). As a hunter, you use a bow and arrow. Maintaining distance allows attacks without counterattacks, but closing the distance risks a one-sided assault. Options include withdrawing to regain distance or using a "flash" ball (provided by Foria) for guaranteed escape.
-Cloak & Layering System- Using gathered branches, resin, and leather, you create a cloak enhancing your abilities. Up to three layers can be worn, additively increasing ability values. Rarely, it also restores life force. Note that the top layer can be damaged and eventually destroyed. The cloak is the only equipment modification; your bow and arrow remain constant.
This is not just a game; it's an experience. It emphasizes strategic thinking, skill, luck, resource management (synthesis and alchemy), and preparation. It's a relaxing game that rewards both dedicated and casual play.
-Autosave- The game autosaves, but not during battles. For reliable saves, close the app from the main menu.
