Overview
Forest of Deceit plunges players into a desperate struggle for survival in a seemingly endless, dark forest. As a group of lost individuals, you must band together to gather resources and construct a shelter before a catastrophic storm arrives. However, the forest's curse breeds madness, turning friends into potential traitors. This social deduction game, reminiscent of the Jackbox series, challenges players to cooperate while simultaneously identifying who among them is working against the group.
