The Dark Forest (2025)

Attention, brave souls, for you are about to enter the realm of darkness and enigma - "Dark Forest." This board game will immerse you in the depths of despair and secrets, in a place where no glimmer of light has ever penetrated.

The outside world has vanished, the village is no more, and hope has dwindled. You must step into the abyss of this ominous forest and unveil its horrifying mysteries. Four brave individuals, each with their own dark pasts, find themselves brought together in a chilling tavern. They don't know if they are chosen or mere pawns in this grim game of destiny.

Among them, an old mage who reminisces his ancient secrets in the darkness. A former professor of the College of Mages, whose insatiable thirst for knowledge has left only a bitter void. A warrior who has recently returned from a bloody conflict, his soul scarred by battle for the king. A young huntress, trading carcasses and bringing them to the local tavern, where she has found her refuge. The tavern keeper, a former herbalist, whose connection to this place is as mysterious as the Dark Forest itself.

In the Dark Forest, every turn is a step into the abyss, where darkness clouds the mind, and only chance can shed light on the path. Players explore locations, revealing cards that may hold treasures or horrors on their reverse sides. They might stumble upon quests, where choices will determine who remains in darkness and who attempts to unravel the bleak mysteries.

The game is steeped in darkness and tension, where every decision is a choice between life and death, between discovering the truth and delving deeper into a chasm of lies and secrets. In The Dark Forest, your soul is at stake, and only the bravest will emerge from it alive, undeniably changed.
