Year In The Trees
About
Year In The Trees is a pixel art survival RPG about beginning a new life in an enchanted forest filled with secrets. The game features a blend of hand-authored and procedural content so that it feels familiar each time you return, but random enough that no two character's stories are ever the same. Travel deep into the heart of nature and learn to survive on your own while unearthing the forgotten history of this place.
Gather resources to craft new items by farming, trading, exploring, or fighting. Each item you make has a chance to unlock new recipes through the game's discovery system. As you expand your capabilities and wealth, you'll be able to recover powerful items and hidden lore from the furthest reaches of the forest.
Death is permanent, but items and upgrades can be passed down to future characters. You might decide to play as a farmer this run in order to stockpile provisions for your next character.
Although there are many familiar places, the game's randomly-generated levels and items will shape your strategy in unexpected ways. Unlocking a rare armor recipe early in the game may entice you to become a blacksmith, whereas learning that a unique artifact weapon is for sale in a nearby shop might lead you to play more like a trader or merchant.
Ultimately it's up to you, but choose carefully: your time in these woods is limited. Each play-style will encounter different lore, but learning the true story of the forest could be the work of generations...
