In the game, each player controls one family in a village that is located deep in the forest. Everyone tries to survive the wolves, bears and worse that come at night. Plant and harvest, gather and build, cooperate and betray. Survive as a community, but do not forget about yourself. Try to survive the coming winter to win the game. Or simply be the last survivor to gain a personal victory.
The core element of the game is cooperation and its limits. At some point, you have to think of yourself first. If your community is strong, others will help you. But the forest will sooner or later overwhelm you all - when will cooperation break down? Will people betray openly, or trick? Is that proposal a trick maybe, or really the best? What role will common ground play? Does the village provide shelter for those who lost their homes? Do you share resources or keep them private? All of these and many other questions will be asked and answered in every game.
Long thinking and a few updates to my Unity assets, as well as a few fan-mails have led to a re-imagining of the game.
I am currently working on single-player standalone relaunch of Black Forest. The core gameplay will remain the same, but a lot of the details as well as the visuals will be completely redone. In fact, I am re-writing the whole game from the ground up.
Below is a screenshot of the current development status - very basic as you can see. Building construction is the first element I am adding. But the new game will be so much better in many ways, so stay tuned.
