Embark on a journey deep into the ancient forest of The Trial of the Forest. Traverse labyrinthine paths, gather resources and choose which deeds you wish to accomplish. You may peacefully forage for berries or seek lost artifacts on dangerous expeditions; ambush your rivals or surprise them with a cup of tea; visit a store to buy equipment or burn it to the ground. Each deed improves your skills and earns you fame. However, only one adventurer can emerge victorious from the Trial of the Forest. The Trial of the Forest is a strategic narrative adventure game featuring resource management, multi-use cards, skill progression, combat and an evolving board. Every decision shapes your own story, creating a unique emergent narrative and forging a personal path to victory.
