The Black Forest

Known as the 'Schwartzwald' in German, The Black Forest is a mountainous region in Southwestern Germany. The Black Forest is a place of dark secrets and old mystique, and hidden deep within these ancient woods stands a once-grand mansion. Now abandoned and slowly being reclaimed by nature, your task will be to transform this massive property to its former glory.
