About the game
Welcome to The Fabled Woods, a dark and mysterious narrative short story. Despite the picturesque beauty, ugly and terrible secrets lurk among the shifting boughs, darkness that no amount of dappled sunlight can erase. Take the first step, and experience an unforgettable journey.

The value story

It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 89 percent. The Suicide of Rachel Foster ($1.79, scores 26) outscores it, and so does Dear Esther: Landmark Edition ($1.99, scores 35). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Simply nice walking sim with a good story, graphics and the thrilling touch. No more than that should be mentioned for it is to be completed at one sitting. If you have a heart on that I do recommend the game - on sale! For one buck it is a bargain, but with whole price it is a robbery,

You can complete it in a single sitting, which makes it a nice and compact experience. The visuals are impressive that also can even serve as a light benchmark for your PC. It features strong voice acting and an intriguing story. There is a space for language localization options for sure.
Beautiful walking simulator. A bit weird story. Short Normal price is overpriced, but if you get this with good discount (-90%) then it's well worth. Easyish Achievements, 100% / ~1h. (+couple hours idling for cards)
