See What Secrets Hide Among the Trees
The Fabled Woods is an upcoming title from CyberPunch Studios that we’re definitely looking forward to seeing release. Announced in June 2020, the game has received a full graphical and feature overhaul, and is now expected to release later this month. The game will put players in the middle of the woods and plunge them into a nest of interconnected mysteries surrounding the beautiful forest. Explore the picturesque woodland, gather clues, and travel out from a forsaken campsite, guided by the voices of unknown strangers. There is a darkness beneath these trees–one that no amount of dappled sunlight, soothing ambiance, or narrators named ‘Larry’ can erase. Something terrible happened here. Are you prepared to face the truth?
According to the press release, this dense, beautiful, and ominous forest was “built with Unreal Engine 4, and is now completely recreated by its developer Joe Bauer. In regard to the best possible usage of fog, lighting, and other effects, he received help from Nicolas Meyssonnier, the creator of the popular 3D platformer Pumpkin Jack.” In other words, this game looks absolutely amazing, and if you like games like Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch, we can’t recommend you check it out enough.
Game features include:
- Three intertwining narratives to be uncovered, piece by piece, as you hunt for clues as to what happened
- Explore at your own pace in an experience built from the ground up for fans of the puzzle free, death free storytelling in games such as Gone Home and Firewatch
- Fully voiced, hear the characters as they impart their tales of strange going ons and mystery to you, the player, all set in a living world built in Unreal Engine technology
The Fabled Woods will be released for PC on March 25th, 2021.
