Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple Non-Field RPG

Embark on a unique RPG adventure as a skilled hunter trapped in a cursed forest. This isn't your typical RPG; prepare for a minimalist experience focused on strategic decision-making and resource management, rather than complex combat.

The Premise: You're the village's best hunter, participating in a national hunting tournament. Upon arriving, you discover the forest eerily deserted, and you're alone. The challenge? Escape the Elven Curse plaguing the woods.

Gameplay Highlights:

• Intuitive Controls: Navigate the game using a maximum of three buttons, making gameplay incredibly accessible.
• Character Creation (with a twist): While character customization is limited, you can freely reroll your stats until you're satisfied. Remember, stat increases from leveling up are only visible on the character creation screen.
• Foria, the Quarter-Elf Guide: A mysterious quarter-elf, Foria, secretly aids your escape, offering assistance and crucial items.
• Exploration and Discovery: Uncover the secrets of the forest by exploring unexplored areas. Each exploration attempt's success is determined by your character's stats and the area's "fog depth."
• Strategic Encounters: Face various forest creatures, from wolves to surprisingly aggressive frogs and rabbits. Combat is optional, but requires careful distance management and strategic use of your bow and arrow, along with healing items and "flash" balls. No leveling up through battles – the goal is escape!
• Cloak Crafting: Create a layered cloak using materials you gather. Each layer enhances your abilities, but be aware that your cloak can be damaged and eventually tear.
• Skill Selection: Choose from a variety of randomly presented skills to enhance your abilities.
• Resource Management: Collect and utilize various materials through synthesis and alchemy.

Key Game Mechanics:

• Simple, yet evocative storytelling: The narrative unfolds smoothly, with dialogue that adds personality to the game's world.
• Risk vs. Reward: Exploring unknown areas provides valuable resources but also increases the risk of encounters.
• Autosave (with caveats): The game features an autosave system, but it's not perfect; manual saving (by closing the app from the base menu) is recommended.

Version 1.2 Update (December 18, 2024): This update addresses a bug causing unexpected transitions to the character creation mode and includes previous bug fixes and minor text adjustments.

Prepare for a unique and engaging RPG experience that prioritizes strategic thinking, resource management, and a touch of luck. Can you escape the cursed forest?
