changedRight now we’re planning a big Dark Forest area on its own, but we’ll also try to include another zone somewhere else, so that your adventure can be deliciously spooky more often. It’s possible that only one of these areas will be in endless darkness, but as you know, this biome is only in the very early stages of planning and designing, and is subject to change as development progresses.
changedMany Mental Tems reside in the Dark Forest, as the Mental type is the reigning archetype in the Dark Biome, but as with the rest of biomes, you’ll find a bunch of different Tems, with different types. Find old friends, like Reval and Aohi, Kinu or Valar, nesting in the Dark Forest with a myriad of other Mental Tems.
changedWe can’t wait to make more progress on the Dark Forest, so we can show you more about this super unique biome, with all its shadows and its magic. If you’re like me, and like spooky settings, you’re gonna love the Dark Forest!!
changedWe can't stop recommending you all join our Discord server because it's fun and full of great people, and you can ask any question you have and even us devs will chime in!

Venture off the beaten path: The Dark Forest is a mysterious and alluring zone that you’ll come across while you explore the Downbelow. Since the Pansun will be right above it, its warm rays will never touch the surface of the Dark Forest, hence its name. Your only source of light as you explore will come from its enchanting glow-in-the-dark plants.

Right now we’re planning a big Dark Forest area on its own, but we’ll also try to include another zone somewhere else, so that your adventure can be deliciously spooky more often. It’s possible that only one of these areas will be in endless darkness, but as you know, this biome is only in the very early stages of planning and designing, and is subject to change as development progresses.

You will also be able to find resources that, while available in the entire Downbelow, will be more abundant in the Dark Forest.

We can’t wait to make more progress on the Dark Forest, so we can show you more about this super unique biome, with all its shadows and its magic. If you’re like me, and like spooky settings, you’re gonna love the Dark Forest!!
