Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple Non-Field RPG

Embark on a unique RPG adventure as you, the village's best hunter, attempt to escape a cursed forest. This isn't your typical RPG; it's a minimalist experience focusing on strategic choices and resource management, rather than complex combat systems.

The Premise:

You've traveled to a royal capital for a hunting tournament, only to find the forest eerily deserted. The tournament organizers have vanished, leaving you alone to navigate a mysterious and dangerous woodland haunted by an "Elven Curse." A helpful (and possibly mischievous) quarter-elf named Foria offers cryptic assistance.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Simple Controls: The game utilizes a streamlined interface, with a maximum of three buttons for most actions.
• Character Creation: While character customization is limited, you can repeatedly reroll your stats to your advantage before starting the game. These stats are crucial and cannot be checked in-game.
• Exploration: Progress through the forest by exploring unexplored areas. The success of each exploration attempt depends on your character's stats and the "fog depth" of the area.
• Encounters: The forest is populated by various creatures, from wolves to surprisingly aggressive frogs. Defeating them yields materials for crafting, but combat is not essential for progression. Battles can be avoided, though this requires strategy and/or luck. You use a bow and arrow, requiring distance to attack effectively. If caught, you can either retreat or use a special item for escape.
• Crafting: Foria helps you create a layered cloak using collected materials. This cloak enhances your stats and can even restore your health, but it can be damaged and eventually destroyed. It's your only piece of changeable equipment.
• Skill Selection: Choose one skill from a random selection, adding an element of chance and strategic planning to your progression.
• Autosave: The game features an autosave system, but it's not perfect. For a reliable save, it's recommended to close the app from the base menu.

Key Features:

• Minimalist gameplay emphasizing strategic choices.
• A focus on resource management and crafting.
• Simple, yet evocative storytelling and world-building.
• The possibility to avoid combat entirely.
• A unique cloak layering system.
