Emerald Woods

Emerald Woods is a no-combat sandbox survival roguelike that allows players to experience escaping modern life to live alone in a mysterious land of forests, lakes, and caverns, inhabited only by strange animals.

Note: We are letting players try out the game in this early phase and let us know what they think about it and in what ways we could improve it. Please join the discord or post your ideas in the forums, and enjoy your life in the woods! :)

Abandoned buildings where uncanny experiments took place decades ago are scattered all around, and the player can discover what happened there by examining documents and other surviving evidence. A company called Genco used to have its headquarters in the area, what happened to them? there will be a new answer to the question every time a new game is started.

In this place, miles away from any other human being, players are free to farm, hunt, build, craft, and scavenge while trying to survive. The game provides new experiences of wonder every time with a fresh new piece of land to explore.

The place is littered with alien fauna as a result of the decades-old experiments, they have adopted the caves and forests as their home. Each species has their own behavior and possibilities for the player to experience the game differently (or just cook them).

It will be up to the player to decide what they want to do in each gameplay session: will they focus on crafting a fantasy castle in the middle of the woods? or maybe roam the land looking for the ingredients to bake a carrot cake? maybe gearing up to explore deep watery caverns, attempting to document all the local fauna or vegetation, or daring to explore the abandoned Genco facilities to discover the full story?
