A strange find in the Forest

I wasn’t supposed to go that far, my prophet called me a fool many times, but I only tried to get more food for my kids. The path was wrong from the start. It seemed too quiet, too clean. Even how the spores drifted...

I wasn’t supposed to go that far, my prophet called me a fool many times, but I only tried to get more food for my kids.

The path was wrong from the start. It seemed too quiet, too clean. Even how the spores drifted... I thought I should turn back… but I didn't.

I found it half-buried under the roots. At first I thought it was a bunch of berries that we lost yesterday…

I shouldn’t have looked into it.

The prophet said that he will share this knowledge with us as soon as he makes sure it's safe. He called this book….the Supporter pack.

The Supporter Pack is coming soon!

Includes:

  • A digital artbook — 12 pages with notes, sketches, and observations from inside the Forest

  • The original soundtrack — all the pieces from the game to carry its atmosphere.
