The Alchemist's Forest

The Alchemist's Forest is an adventure game developed by Frostfire Studios and set to be released on the Nintendo Switch. The game is set in the World Hopper Universe and is the first game in the series overall. The story follows an unnamed individual referred to in game as "The Alchemist" who finds himself stuck in an enchanted forest that does not allow him to leave its confines.
The player takes control of the Alchemist as he explores his prison for ingredients to create a philosopher's stone in order to escape the Forest, while simultaneously avoiding the its more dangerous inhabitants. While the Alchemist can fight, he is only armed with a knife, minor magical abilities and whatever he can create, meaning he must choose his fights wisely if he wishes to survive. 
Exploration and gathering are central to the gameplay with the Alchemist being able to create various substances and weapons from obtained ingredients to increase his chances of survival. However, because of his lack of proper equipment, the Alchemist will rarely be able to create anything lethal.
==Story==
===Prologue: The Forest===
The game opens up with the Alchemist already in the Forest, running from an unknown monster chasing after him. All of his attempts to leave the Forest cause the trees themselves to block his path, preventing him from escaping. As a last ditch effort, the Alchemist jumps into a fast moving river and is carried downstream, even further into the Forest. While struggling for a short while, the Alchemist manages to position himself on a log and passes out.
Hours later the Alchemist wakes up on a river bank. After a small amount of exploring and herb gathering, he runs into a seemingly abandoned house. Upon entering he finds no signs of recent habitation and some run down alchemy equipment, allowing him to make an aqua vigor and aqua navitas tonic to heal his wounds and restore his energy respectively. He spends some time exploring the rest of the house and clearing, before dropping of his stuff on a table with a mysterious symbol on it and going to sleep.
In the morning, the Alchemist wakes up and finds the gold coins he had on the table are missing, but also sees that some of the alchemy equipment is now in working order. A note left by an individual who calls itself the "Goblin" explains that in exchange for payment, he will fix things around the house for him. The Goblin's note also explains that the Forest is a living entity and does not allow humans to leave its confines, but with a philosopher's stone it is possible to escape.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, the Alchemist begins the undertaking of creating a philosopher's stone from scratch.
