Ever since tales of strange encounters in the northern verdant forest by the West River spread far and wide, explorers, journalists, and scholars have flocked to the area in droves. Reports of new species have fueled the frenzy of exploration, driving the local inns to capacity and even prompting the erection of numerous camping tents across the landscape. You, too, are one of the many drawn to the excitement. Along the way, you’ve encountered all sorts of fascinating beings: a self-proclaimed wizard from an interdimensional mage guild, a fox that seems to understand human speech, and even a sentient snowman (which is intriguing in itself, considering you’re in a temperate forest). However, as you delve deeper into the forest, you gradually realize that this is not a peaceful realm, but one brimming with hidden dangers. When you narrowly escape being set ablaze by a mobile ball of fire, it dawns on you that not all “life” here is friendly. Time’s up—use your magical items to carve a way out. Customizable Tower Ammunition All of our defenses are based on common items, like slingshots, water bottles, and even a small box! All we have to do is feed these magical, spiritual items with our resources, allowing them to attack on our behalf. What happens if you put a fish bone in a slingshot? Planning an Escape Route We can go straight to our destination or take a detour, depending on our strategy at the moment. If there's something valuable somewhere, we should definitely check it out. But what if we encounter inclement weather or tough enemies along the way? Encountering Mysterious Creatures Fish can swim, birds can fly. But will fish come ashore? Will birds walk on land? Absolutely. Furthermore, we might encounter attacks from mushrooms, balloons, and even clouds. Many things here appear dangerous, and even more are deadly 'creatures' whose danger is difficult to predict. Not only will we devise survival strategies, but the indigenous people here have long been practicing them. Multiple Ways to Obtain Resources If we have water and ice, we can use them as two different types of ammunition or combine them into ice water. Want to know how to combine feathers and books? We can obtain the necessary resources not only through trading, but also through treasure hunts and encounters. Flexible Ways to Improve Your Power In high-difficulty modes, defeating enemies requires more than just damage; sometimes the right strategy can go a long way. Thankfully, we have many ways to adjust our strategy, such as crafting, cooking, and strategic planning. You don't need to master them all; sometimes just one might be enough to turn the tide. Use Magic to Secure Victory These rare and powerful spells can be used at almost any time. What do you want to do? Add a negative effect to all enemies? Change the rules for travel between nodes? Or customize the terrain and climate to your advantage? Easy peasy. Defeat Powerful Enemies Reach the exit, defeat the malicious creatures blocking your path, and we'll be out! It's important to note that the enemies guarding the exit are often difficult to defeat, as that's their job. The familiar world beckons, but... should we leave now? Does it seem like something in this fantastical place still calls us?
