Emerald Woods is a turn-based sandbox survival roguelike that allows players to experience escaping modern life to live alone in a mysterious land of forests, lakes, and caverns, inhabited only by strange animals.
Abandoned buildings where uncanny experiments took place decades ago are scattered all around, and the player can discover what happened there by examining documents and other surviving evidence. A company called Genco used to have its headquarters in the area, what happened to them? there will be a new answer to the question every time a new game is started.
In this place, miles away from any other human being, players are free to farm, hunt, build, craft, and scavenge while trying to survive. As in traditional roguelikes, death is permanent, but the game features procedural generation to provide new experiences of wonder every time.
The game features a system that dynamically changes how aggressive the game is according to what style of play the player has, based on their in-game actions. This means that the personality of the player will affect how the game plays out.
It will be up to the player to decide what they want to do in each gameplay session: will they focus on crafting a fantasy castle in the middle of the woods? or maybe roam the land looking for the ingredients to bake a carrot cake? maybe gearing up to explore deep watery caverns, attempting to document all the local fauna or vegetation, or daring to explore the abandoned Genco facilities to discover the full story?
