Forever Forest

About

Forever Forest casts you as a small forest creature armed with a mystical mask that reshapes your abilities. Your goal is to carry a fading light through hostile biomes like scorching deserts, murky swamps, and toxic lakes. The journey mixes resource management, snatching fruits and insects to survive, with action combat. Each battle lets you absorb foes' traits into your mask, unlocking new moves or defenses. Progress is permanent, so every choice impacts your evolving toolkit and how you tackle the environment. The game stands out for its fluid combat system where absorbing enemy skills feels rewarding and intuitive. The hand-drawn environments are vibrant but often dangerous, shifting from serene forests to nightmarish landscapes as you advance. While its 2019 release flew under many radars, fans praise the tight loop of exploration and customization. The Switch port handles well on the go, though some note the story beats are sparse compared to the gameplay depth.
