WoodsFolk

WoodsFolk is a first-person adventure game set in a strange forest that is permanently dark. The player arrives in this place and meets the woodsfolk, creatures who have lost their memories, including their own names. None of them recall life before the forest or know why they came, and none attempt to leave. The central question is what secret the forest holds and whether the player will confront it or become one of its residents.

The game does not use arrows or quest markers. Players find their way by observing the surroundings, listening to what other characters say, and consulting a notebook that records notes, tasks and clues. Conversations with the woodsfolk take place through text-based dialogue. Progress involves small puzzles and story quests.

Some inhabitants of the forest have lost their minds and are hostile to strangers. Players can sneak past these enemies, use sounds to draw them away, and escape if they are chased.
