In a market crowded with similar genre games, Pathless Woods sets itself apart by immersing players in the cultural and architectural heritage of old China. The game offers a unique and authentic experience, where players can construct various structures, ranging from simple buildings and bridges to elaborate structures, all inspired by ancient Chinese design. Additionally, players can cultivate vegetables using traditional Chinese farming methods and prepare delicious Chinese-style dishes.

“Following the successful launch of Wandering Sword’s demo - which was one of the top most wish-listed games in February’s Steam Next Fest - Spiral Up is excited to unveil what Pathless Woods has in store for gamers. There is so much you can do in the game, and any fan of the sandbox survival genre should not miss Pathless Woods!” said Spiral Up Games CEO Aldric Chang.

Pathless Woods is coming to Steam Early Access in 2023 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.”
