Overview
Step into the role of a solitary forest hag in "The Back Country," a unique simulation and strategy game where you observe and subtly influence the lives of three distinct animal clans. Your task is to guide these creatures through their daily routines, helping them overcome challenges and unravel the ancient mysteries woven into the fabric of the land. Through psionic suggestion, you'll foster the development of their skills, assist in resource management, and bolster their societal structures. However, tread carefully; each animal possesses its own personality, and excessive interference can breed suspicion. The game emphasizes benevolent subterfuge as time progresses, animals live out their lives, raise offspring, and eventually pass on, while the forest endures.
