Pathless Woods is a labor of love, literally speaking, as it began with two Chinese developers from Guangdong meeting to work on it, falling in love with each other, and ending up a couple. They invite you on an adventure where you stumble upon a sealed land by a twist of fate. While everything appears refreshing and bright, something mysterious lurks about. This place, shrouded in an unknown fog, is called the Pathless Woods.

Pathless Woods is coming to Steam Early Access in Q4 2022 and will remain so for about one year, but it can be subject to a variety of factors as development continues.

“The current version contains survival, building, farming, and companionship; a main quest route; part of creatures and monsters, and a boss mission. We know that bugs will appear (and we rely on feedback from players), and our goal is to bring you a really fun and great game, so we'll take any issues that come up in the Early Access seriously and deal with them.”

“We have setup a lot of gameplay and features for the Early Access version, but there are still many features and function are still under development. In the complete version, more and better content will be introduced, and of course, we will also fix and adjust the problems that find out in the Early Access.”

Key Features:

• Build, farm, and develop!: Have a unique building experience that features mortise-and-tenon joints. Grow your own paddy fields to grow rice. Pour your heart and soul into the seeds until bountiful harvest sprouts from the ground. Maintain the paddy by controlling water irrigation, fertilizers, and temperature. Have fun and celebrate a happy harvest.
• Chop it down and mine it out!: In this world, your future is in your hands. So gather resources by logging and mining to craft tools. Buckle up and immerse yourself in surviving the wild. Feed yourself and keep an eye on your hydration, body temperature, and sanity while dealing with threats – harsh weather, poison, beasts, enemies, and more.
• Explore, discover, and be surprised!: Each time you start, a brave new world awaits! Don't miss the stunning views and friendly NPCs while seeking the truth about the ruins. Perhaps there's a surprise waiting for you.
• Rally allies and stay strong: Stronger together! United, you shall stand! Rally your allies and friends to fight the terrible Jaer cultists. They'll share your burdens as well as the joys of the harvest!

Pathless Woods is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2023.
