The Fox, The Forest & The Darkness

Things have not been going well for Zak, in trouble at school, in trouble at home and now wondering what to do, where to go and who to be. Now he's stuck wandering the park doing homework on the weekend and frankly the whole thing is becoming a bit too much.

Then Zak discovers the fetid vines, his first sign of the growing Darkness in the woods and the dangers that wait for us all.

What's in the game?

• Explore Southeast City Park discovering clues about Zak, his story and the reality he is building around himself. The Forest and The Darkness both call to Zak in their own unique ways. 

• Enjoy seamless transitions between 1st and 3rd person perspectives so you can really explore the clues to the mysteries that surround the Zak.

• Experience a uniquely crafted story that eloquently melds the written word, music and visuals into a cohesive experience only a solodev / auteur experience can create. 

• Make use of curious game techniques like a story driven inventory system.

• Although narrative based and story driven, the game doesn't bog you down with cutscenes and dialog sequences. The goal is for the player to feel free to move whenver possible. 

• An "audio book" format (as read by the author) is also provided but you can turn that off if you read faster than listen.

• Several achievements are also scattered throughout the park (currently working on Steam integration).

The Fox, The Forest & The Darkness is the first project by Idea Guy turned Solodev Will Leamon. Here we present the first chapter "Enter Fickle Pig" as a means of hopefully raising interest and resources to keep on with the project.
