About game
Dark Forest is a dark idle/incremental game about a protagonist lost in the Dark Forest with no memory or name.
Waking up in endless darkness, you lead faceless people from a campfire to an Imperium, explore the forest, gather resources, and fight the hierarchy of darkness — from Messengers to Death itself. Each enemy can be killed, absorbing their essence and power, or spared — their spirit will become your ally.
Features:
Deep progression system: 15 charms (crafted from soulstones), 6 substance types, dozens of worker roles
Rebirths unlocking infinite upgrades and resources
A mysterious cat guide and a story revealed through a diary
6 languages, a bullet hell boss fight finale, offline progress
Bonus flesh for watching optional ads
How to play
You wake up in the Dark Forest with no memory. Your goal is to explore the forest, build a settlement, and uncover the truth.
Basics: Gather basic resources by clicking buttons: Chop Wood, Mine Stone, Scavenge, Dredge. Craft tools (Axe, Pickaxe, Shovel), hire workers, build houses. Once you craft a Firepit, workers will gather resources automatically.
Progression: Unlock new locations, upgrade tools. Fight the enemies of Darkness — each can be killed (gain their essence) or spared (gain an ally spirit). Collect Singularities and craft charms — they grant powerful passive abilities.
Boss and the Cat: Progress through the Enemies tab to reach the final fight. A mysterious cat will appear over time — follow the diary to uncover the story.
Rebirths: Once you've gathered enough resources, destroy the Heart of the Forest and start anew, keeping key upgrades and unlocking infinite enhancements.
Controls: Click buttons with your mouse. Read the diary — the story unfolds within.
