Elven Curse

Escape the Cursed Forest: A Simple, Non-Combat RPG

Embark on a unique RPG adventure as a skilled hunter trapped in a cursed forest. This non-combat game focuses on exploration, resource management, and strategic decision-making to escape the mystical woods.

The Premise:

You are the village's best hunter, drawn to a national hunting tournament near the royal capital. Upon arrival, you discover the tournament site deserted, leaving you alone in a strangely silent, dangerous forest. The forest itself seems to be cursed, with locations shifting and repeating, defying your sense of direction. Your goal: escape the Elven Curse plaguing this enchanted woodland.

Gameplay Features:

• Minimalist Controls: Navigate using a simple, intuitive interface with a maximum of three buttons at any given time (excluding the main menu).

• Character Creation: While character customization is limited, you can repeatedly reroll your stats to your liking before the game begins. These stats are crucial and cannot be checked in-game.

• Foria, the Quarter-Elf: A mysterious, helpful (and possibly young) quarter-elf named Foria guides you, providing assistance and items.

• Atmospheric Narrative: The story unfolds through evocative text, creating an immersive experience. Foria's cheerful dialogue contrasts with the ominous atmosphere of the cursed forest.

• Exploration: Uncover hidden paths and areas within the forest sections. Exploration success is determined by your character's stats and the "fog depth" of the area.

• Resource Management: Gather materials to craft cloaks that enhance your abilities. Cloaks can be layered for increased benefits, but they can also be damaged and become unusable.

• Encounters with Beasts: Wild animals, from wolves to frogs, may attack. Defeat them for resources, but remember: this isn't a level-up combat RPG. Battles are avoidable with careful planning and resource use (luck helps too!). Your bow and arrow require distance for effective attacks. If cornered, you can choose to withdraw or use a flash ball provided by Foria to escape.

• Cloak System: Craft cloaks using collected materials to improve your character's stats. Up to three layers can be used simultaneously, but be mindful of potential damage.

• Skill Selection: Choose from a variety of randomly presented skills to enhance your abilities.

• Autosave: The game features an autosave system, but it's not triggered during battles. For safekeeping, it's recommended to close the app from the base menu.

Version 1.2 Update (December 18, 2024):

• Fixed a bug causing unexpected transitions to the character creation mode.
• (Previous updates included bug fixes, typo corrections, message changes, and credit additions).

Prepare for a challenging yet relaxing experience, where strategic thinking, resourcefulness, and a bit of luck will be key to escaping the Elven Curse and the cursed forest.
