Our take on Forest Woodman
Its focus on a forester's short survival stint keeps the action close to daily problems and forest threats. That comes at the cost of large battles and a broader combat arsenal: the description centers on a shovel rather than pistols or rifles.
What is Forest Woodman?
Play as a forester trying to survive for a week in a northern forest.
Each day brings problems to solve, while wolves, bears, and other threats put the character in danger. The forest is also a place to settle and find food. Combat uses a shovel rather than pistols or rifles, and the game focuses on small-scale adventures instead of epic fights or large battles. A soundtrack accompanies the forest setting.
