Description

You wake up in the heart of a sun-speckled wood, and you wake up alone.

You do not remember who you are. A pall of enchantment clings to the trees like spiderwebs. Creatures of feather and fang prowl in the shadows, beckoning to you with human voices. In this forest of forgetting, cleverness is your currency and memories your key.

Wander at your leisure—and remember not to feed the faeries.

The Weirdwood is a text-based exploration game inspired by fairytales, folklore, and urban legends. It blends rich environmental storytelling with elements of visual novels, MUDs, and classic point-and-click adventure games.
