The Forest Trail

You are Ariette. You ran away from home after an oddly violent argument with your parents. Other than that you can only recall the sound of your mother crying.

As the sun goes down, you light your lantern. Your village has never let anyone leave the safety of its walls at night; they say demons and other creatures stalk the woods in the surrounding area. What a ridiculous excuse.

You walk the path to the village. You are so close to arriving, but then you see it: the figure spasms towards you. You feel your head get lighter as your feet pound against the hard dirt. Your lantern shakes wildly, singeing your arm when it makes contact.

You feel the trees clawing at your face as you come to a small field of grass; your pursuer isn't far behind. You hear the grass rustling but you continue down the narrow path deeper into the woods.

In this game you play as Ariette. You will visit many locations in the dark forest with one goal: getting home alive. Many odd puzzles await you through the trees; some are based on trial and error whilst others will require very precise actions. Apart from these puzzles you will also have many encounters with the demons that stalk the night, from unseen terrors to your own reflection.

There will be multiple ways for your story to end, be it dying at the hands of the demons or making it home safely.
