A Dark Forest is an incremental idle horror about discovering the unknown within and without yourself. The world is dark and empty. So are you. Carve out a community of your own inside the dark forest. Be wary of the darkness… It doesn't like new challengers.
Thai localization now available!We are expanding our list of supported languages by another one, Thai!Massive thank you to all contributors!Other changes:Improved localization for all non-latin script languages (Chinese, Thai). Fixed an issue with line breaks in unnatural spaces.Updated the project to Godot 4.4Big thank you as well to everyone leaving feedback whether here in the Steam community or over at Itch.io! We are observing user sentiment with great interest...
We've added launch options!Now when you click 'launch' on Steam you'll have to deal with a launch options menu.Sorry!The good news is that there is a "always use this setting" option. If you press that one you'll never have to think about it again!What exactly are those launch options?Windows, MacOS, and Linux users can now choose whether to use Godot's Forward+ renderer (default option) or the compatibility renderer.We recommend the Forward+ renderer, but the compatibility renderer provides greater stability, especially on older or low-spec devices!If your version of A Dark Forest ever crashed on startup or mid-game we strongly recommend trying out the compatibility renderer option for a spell!
Did you know we are taking part in the Steam Next Fest June 2025?If you ever wanted to support A Dark Forest and its contributors, now's your chance!Just share the word about our game with the world, encourage folks to wishlist it and talk about it, and play the demo a little bit!It ain't much, but it sure would mean the world to our entire team! 🖤 We now have a press kit! What is a press kit?A press kit includes materials useful for journalists and content creators. In our case it includes some text documents, a lot of in-game assets, promotional assets, the game's Steam trailer, and some other stuff.Just a fan? Fun fact: there is no legal barrier from checking the press kit out even if you aren't the press! 👀Have you been wondering what we are working on? Here's a list!Reworking a certain hostile encounter to be more player friendly, regardless of skill level.Introducing even more translations!Adding in special endings depending on player behavior in their current loop 👀Adding in more Steam integration features! We'll definitely add in Steam achievements. Cloud saves... sound scary, but we'll try!Talk about a game you love, save a dev! Doesn't have to be us! Sure would be nice though!
