The first video game adaptation of the critically acclaimed tabletop RPG
Heart of the Forest adapts the mechanics of the legendary title from the World of Darkness universe, emulating the experience of a classic role-playing session. It’s tailored for World of Darkness veterans and newcomers looking for an accessible entry into this rich, acclaimed universe.
A dark reflection of our world filled with corruption, apathy and violence
You play as Maia, a young woman searching for clues about her family in the last primeval forest of Central Europe. She doesn’t know that she will soon find herself in the middle of a deadly conflict between forces beyond her understanding…
Heart of the Forest will take you to real places near the Polish-Belarusian border. You will experience a story inspired by recent intense protests against commercial logging of the Białowieża Forest.
A vast forest full of myths and legends
This game is set in The Puszcza, a real forest complex in northern Poland. The first people settled there 2,000 years ago, but their presence remained relatively limited.
Discover beautiful, distinctive collage art that combines hand-illustrated characters with pictures of real places to inspire your imagination.
