Updates and Steam Next Fest

Thank you so much to everyone supporting us! Steam Next Fest's results have exceeded our wildest hopes, and it has just begun!

We are constantly working on improving the game for everyone. Currently our focus is on Steam integration and bug fixing.

Improved stability on older and low-end devices

We've added in the launch options menu to Steam. Now, when you play the game, you can choose if you want to use the Forward+ renderer (default option) or the compatibility renderer.

If you are running A Dark Forest on an older or low-end device, we very much recommend using the compatibility renderer! Especially if your version of A Dark Forest ever crashed on startup!

About This Game

The world is dark and empty.

A Dark Forest is an incremental idle horror game about discovering the unknown within and without yourself.

Everything the darkness touches is yours.

Explore the world, gather resources and carve out a community of your own inside the dark forest.

Remember… the Darkness never sleeps, and it doesn't like new challengers.

Savior or tyrant?

Ward off 11 abyssal entities. Will you spare or execute them?

There will be consequences… do you dare experience all endings?

My good steward!

Control the faceless masses. Experience a strategic resource production chain mechanic and choose how you reign!

Will you implement absolute rule, allow for limited autonomy and freewill, or establish secretive freemasonry?

Dear diary…

Experience a twisting narrative. Will you shape the world, or be shaped by it?

Will you ever stop, or is your greed immeasurable?
