Media

An adventurer caught in a recursive woodland must repeatedly sharpen tools and develop skills to push deeper into progressively harder forests. The game combines axe-sharpening upgrades with skill advancement across short cycles, rewarding players who optimize their approach each run. Best suited for those who enjoy brisk incremental loops with a light narrative hook.

Scratches that itch of constant movement while also feeling stronger consistently. The Demo was amazing and I could not wait for it to release so im glad its here and im honored to have play it. It never felt dull I always felt as if i was progressing and within 2 minutes of me feeling like I had hit the limit speed and damage wise the credits rolled. <3

The Eternal Woods is a short incremental game with beautiful colorful and psychedelic visuals and nice music. It's a game that gets faster and more frantic as the intensity escalates. It's a pure dopamine ride.

The whole game took me 2 hours, so keep that it mind. It could be a little longer, but I do appreciate that the end game gets faster rather than slowing to a grind like some incremental games.

Tweaked Skill Tree Progression

109 days ago

There were some issues with progress slowing down significantly between the period of gameplay where your current zone is Maxed out, but can't clear it to reach the next zone.I've made some Skill Tree tweaks and added a couple extra nodes that should help in clearing that gap much faster.
