Overview

Forest of Deceit plunges players into a desperate struggle for survival within a cursed, endless forest. As a group lost and facing an impending, deadly storm, your only hope lies in constructing a shelter before nature claims you. Each day presents an opportunity to explore the treacherous woods and gather vital resources. However, the forest's dark influence breeds madness and suspicion, turning allies into potential traitors. This social deduction game, reminiscent of the Jackbox series, challenges players to discern who to trust as paranoia mounts.
