Firewatch-esque The Fabled Woods Announced For PC

The world is finally ready for some game announcements again, even if that's a way to attempt to grasp at some sense of normalcy. One such announcement comes from publisher Headup Games, who is partnering with Cyberpunch Studios. That's Cyberpunch and not cyberpunk.

 

The publisher announced a collaboration on the game, The Fabled Woods, currently slated for PC by the end of the year. Made in the Unreal Engine 4, the game will play much like a walking simulator. The press release mentions it is being built from the ground up with lack of death or puzzle obstacles in mind. Firewatch is one of the most direct comparisons the game draws from.

As the name suggests, The Fabled Woods takes place around a mysterious and shifting forest environment. Players will experience the world of the game, as they get guided by a mysterious voice.

It's hard to pull off an enrapturing walking simulator, without it feeling empty. One of the other influences stated, is the odd, mindbending What Remains of Edith Finch. That comparison would definitely help keep The Fabled Woods interesting.
