Controls:

　　Use arrow keys to move around and Z to interact with objects/characters

　　Also worth noting that there isn't any sound/music. So put your favorite tunes on and enjoy the story!

　　UPDATE 2/15/2022 - Check out the new devlog for details!

　　But in short: better story, new dialogue, new areas, new sprites.

　　It was well known that this forest couldn't be trusted. Everyone in the surrounding villages were taught from a young age: do not wander where you are not welcome.

　　In this small, but deadly adventure you've bitten off far more than you can chew. You're lost in a confusing forest and suddenly....animals talk? While you search for a way home you can make friends, go fishing, tell puns, and join a club! Why not? You're not dead, yet!

　　///

　　I can assure you that all areas of this game are accessible. If you're lost or unsure you can't reach something, try following the boundaries of the map.

　　Hey, this is Rachel (also known as Icefire149), this is my second ever game. There are still several things I have in mind that I wanted to implement in this game, but time is running out. And I'm quite sleepy. What matters is that I have a game!

　　I used GB Studio.

　　And this is my entry for the Jamingtons 8.0 Quarantine Jam.

　　The theme was: Language.

　　I wasn't sure about the theme at first, but soon enough I ended up with a couple notebook pages covered with my thought process. I wanted to utilize languages you wouldn't ordinarily think of: instinct, animals, nature.

　　That gave me more than enough to run with for this jam, but I still needed a story. I couldn't resist throwing in one of my childhood fears. I grew up in a wooded area. My mum's property extends out into dense woods. I was taught at a young age to pay attention to the world around me and my natural instincts. You never know what could be out there or what could be watching you.
