Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple Non-Combat 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 exploration, strategic decision-making, and a touch of luck.
The Premise: You, the village's best hunter, arrive at a hunting tournament only to find the forest eerily deserted. Your journey to escape begins, hindered by the mysterious "Elven Curse" and aided by a quirky quarter-elf named Foria.
Gameplay Highlights:
- Minimalist Controls: Navigate the game using a maximum of three buttons at any given time (excluding the base menu).
- Character Customization: While manual customization isn't available, you can reroll your stats as often as needed before starting the game. Remember, stat increases from leveling up are only viewable on this screen.
- Resource Management: Maintain a supply of "talismans" to prevent character loss when your life force reaches zero. Use these wisely, as they are a limited resource.
- Exploration: Uncover the forest's secrets by exploring unexplored areas. The success of your explorations depends on your character's stats and the "fog depth" of the area.
- Creature Encounters: Face various forest creatures, from wolves to even frogs and rabbits! Defeating them yields materials for trading with Foria. Note: No leveling up through combat. Battles are avoidable with skill, luck, or strategic use of resources.
- Hunter Combat: Engage in ranged combat using your bow and arrow. Maintain distance for safe attacks, or use wound medicine to recover life force. If cornered, choose between a risky withdrawal or a guaranteed escape using a "flash" ball.
- Cloak System: Craft and layer a mysterious cloak using gathered materials. Each layer enhances your abilities, but be mindful, your cloak can be damaged and eventually destroyed.
- Skill Selection: Choose from a variety of randomly presented skills to enhance your character's abilities.
- Auto-Save: The game features an auto-save system, but save points are not consistent (e.g., not during battles). For reliable saving, exit to the base menu before closing the app.
The Story: The prologue unfolds like a picture story, with Foria's dialogue adding a touch of cheerful levity to the otherwise mysterious and slightly ominous atmosphere. The game's world is presented through concise, evocative language.
Recent Updates (v1.2, Dec 18, 2024):

- Scenario text corrections (v1.1).

Prepare for a unique and relaxing RPG experience that blends exploration, strategic choices, and a touch of old-school charm. It's a game about the journey, not just the destination.
