About the game

There is only you and the Forest. In "Rooten" there are no compulsory tasks, time just goes by, and days pass by independently of you. You can explore the Forest, try to get out, or even do nothing at all. The forest has always been here, and always will be. You won't change it no matter what.

In the first days it feels like there's too much time for you, but you'll lose that feeling as the game progress. Art somehow reminded me Don't Starve in a great way, even though it's…
