Mable & The Wood (itch)

Mable & The Wood is a 2D action/exploration game set in a land where the overuse of magic is draining the world of its colour.

You play the part of a shape-shifting girl who can take the form of the beasts that she slays, but whose power is slowly destroying the world she is trying to save.

Explore the world to find the source of the darkness before the forest dies. Will you banish the darkness from the world, or will you become it?

• Combat is movement: Use different attacks as a means of traversal, and uncover the secrets of a world you thought you knew.

• Choose your own path: Imagine a dying world that you explore via an overworld map, picking the levels you want to tackle and in what order.

• Grow in power: Improve and develop Mable's abilities by exploring more areas, but beware you do not linger. As the colour fades your journey becomes ever more perilous.

• Kill bosses to take their form: Choose to attack boss monsters or avoid them altogether. These beasts are the last of their kind and slaying them unlocks new shapes for you to transform into.

For the demo, you begin with the fairy, spider and stone forms available to you - in the full game, you will begin with just the fairy form.

The full game will be released in February 2017 on PC, Mac and Linux. It will be available on both Steam and itch.io - follow me, @triplevisgames on Twitter for the latest updates!
