Fe

About

You play as Fe, a fox-like creature navigating a dark Nordic forest teeming with mystical life. The world reacts to your actions as you run, climb, and glide through dense environments. A core mechanic lets you "sing" to creatures and plants using a tactile analog control scheme. Each song teaches new abilities like summoning birds for guidance or coaxing plants to grow berries. Silent enemy waves threaten the ecosystem, forcing you to creatively use animal allies and environmental puzzles to survive. The game's wordless storytelling and reactive ecosystem stand out. Community reviews highlight its 78 Metacritic score and 32 unique creature interactions. Players praise the intuitive song mechanic that blends action and exploration without traditional tutorials. Available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch since February 2018.

Storyline

The player controls Fe, a fox-like creature within a forest that is highly responsive to the songs of the creatures and plants within it. The forest creatures are being attacked by entities called the Silent Ones for unknown reasons that threaten the forest's wildlife. Fe is able to sing to other creatures and objects as to gain their help. These creatures can teach Fe a new song which gives the fox additional abilities through the forest, such as activating a flower that acts as a jump-pad to launch Fe to higher locations and explore more of the world.
