Your Ranger Journey Begins 

In Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator, players take on the role of a national park ranger responsible for managing daily tasks and responding to challenges in the scenic Faremont National Park. Whether clearing trails, collecting litter, repairing signs, helping lost hikers, or responding to urgent wildlife calls, every action helps preserve the park’s natural beauty and safety. 

Equipped with essential tools like an axe, hammer, and litter picker, rangers will explore a variety of richly detailed biomes, including dense forests and flower-filled meadows to rocky ridges and winding rivers,  either on foot or in their fast and robust ranger pickup. 

Using their ranger camera, players can observe and document encounters with a wide range of flora and fauna. From playful raccoons and majestic eagles to graceful deer and elusive wolves, each sighting adds a new educational entry to a growing personal wildlife lexicon.  

But ranger duties go beyond nature: guiding hikers, checking permits, and ensuring public safety are just as important to ensure an enjoyable habitat for both wildlife and visitors.

Protect, restore, discover.

Faremont National Park will keep you busy!

In Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, players start their day in their very own rustic cabin, which is part of the park’s ranger village, and off-limits to regular visitors. From here, they can set out to tackle the various tasks that await them during their day - either by car or on foot.

Next to main missions like opening trails or repairing important infrastructure, their radio will keep coming to life in regular callouts and inform them about littering, broken signs, picknick tables or benches and damage to the trails - for example from fallen trees or branches following a rainstorm. While travelling through the park the rangers will also be asked for directions by hikers and provide information about landmarks and wildlife to visitors.

Let’s go camping!

Campsites are of course also an essential part of every national park experience: As a ranger the player will need to visit them regularly to keep them in good order (litter will attract wildlife such as racoons – or bears!) and check on the camping permits of visitors preparing to spend the night.

Preserve wildlife for the enjoyment of all

Protecting nature is another important aspect of a ranger’s job. Using their ranger camera, players can observe and document encounters with a wide range of flora and fauna. From playful raccoons and majestic eagles to graceful deer and elusive wolves, each sighting adds a new educational entry to a growing personal wildlife lexicon. Completing entries will not only enable the player to answer questions from visitors but also add exhibition objects to the park’s museum, which is located in the visitor’s center near the entry. Later in the game, asking anglers for fishing permits and responding to urgent wildlife calls will also keep the ranger busy.
