Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple Non-Field RPG
Embark on a unique adventure in this minimalist RPG where you, the village's best hunter, must escape a cursed forest. The prologue sets the scene: you've traveled to a hunting tournament, only to find the forest eerily deserted. Your journey begins with an unsettling discovery – a deserted campsite, devoid of the other hunters.
This isn't your typical RPG. With a focus on simple gameplay, you'll navigate the forest using intuitive controls, managing your character's resources and facing unexpected encounters.
Gameplay Mechanics:
-
Character Creation: While customization is limited, you can reroll your stats until you're satisfied. Remember, stat increases upon leveling up are only visible before starting the game.
-
Foria, the Quarter-Elf: A mysterious boy(?) who secretly aids your escape by harnessing the forest's ancient spirits.
-
Exploration: Uncover hidden areas within the forest sections to progress. The success of each exploration attempt depends on your character's stats and the area's "fog depth."
-
Encounters: Prepare for unpredictable battles against forest creatures, from wolves to surprisingly aggressive frogs and rabbits! Combat isn't about leveling up; it's about survival. You can use your bow and arrow, maintaining distance to attack safely, or use healing items to avoid conflict altogether. If cornered, you can choose to withdraw or use a "flash" ball for a guaranteed escape.
-
Cloak System: Craft a layered cloak using collected materials to enhance your abilities. Each layer increases your stats, and the cloak may even offer healing properties. Note that your cloak can become damaged and unusable over time.
-
Skill Selection: Choose from a variety of randomly presented skills to enhance your character.
Key Features:
- Minimalist interface and intuitive controls.
- Emphasis on strategic decision-making and resource management.
- Unpredictable encounters and challenging choices.
- A unique cloak crafting system.
- Auto-save system (with limitations; save manually in the base menu for security).

Prepare for a unique RPG experience that blends exploration, strategy, and a touch of whimsical mystery. Can you escape the cursed forest?
