FOREST QUEST '88

You wake up in a forest at night. You don't know how you got here. You just want to get home and go to sleep.

That's the whole plan. Getting there is the problem.

A sprawling forest of bad decisions

Every run threads a path through a vast web of situations — strange places, questionable items, and encounters that escalate fast. Each turn hands you five ways to react (the weird one, the funny one, the normal one, the boring one, and the one that's obviously a mistake). Pick with a click or a number key — or ignore all five and type your own reaction, and the game understands what you meant.

Cryptids in the dark

The woods are not empty. Real folklore monsters — Mothman, the Wendigo, the Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, the Skinwalker, and more — ambush you on the dark paths. You survive only if you're carrying the right item. If you're not, every choice is your last. Pack accordingly.

130 ways to lose

Loot drops into your inventory, a journey log tracks your descent, and the game autosaves across three slots. There are 130 endings — grim, absurd, and personal — earned by how you played. Collect them all, if you dare, or if you're just really bad at going to sleep.

Runs anywhere, needs nothing

Fully offline. No account, no internet, no cloud. Just you, a green screen, and a forest that would very much like you to stay.

(It is that far.)

Offenlegung von KI-generierten Inhalten

Der Spieleentwickler beschreibt den Einsatz von KI-generierten Inhalten in diesem Spiel wie folgt:

The branching narrative in FOREST QUEST '88 was generated during development using a locally-run AI language model (an offline Dolphin/LLaMA-family model via Ollama). All AI-generated text was produced ahead of time, then reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being baked into the finished game as fixed, hand-checked content. The shipped game contains no live AI generation — it plays back a static, pre-authored story. No player data is sent to any AI service; the game runs fully offline.
