Woebegone Woods

About

Woebegone Woods is a cozy, 2D relationship building management game, currently in development.

Enter the Woebegone Woods, a small, warm village in the middle of a cold and remote forest. Play as Bean, who is in charge of preparing for the winter festival by assigning woodland friends to work on tasks, balancing their happiness and skills. Focus on kindling Bean's friendship with their friends and other character's friendships with each other, while also putting on the best festival possible!

This demo is only a small slice of our future plans. Our main goal is an overall cozy experience, and are designing to best fit that plan. Things are subject to change and grow over time, and any feedback will significantly help the process! We'll post updated demos in the future, so be sure to check back!

How to Play

Morning

During the morning, assign Sage and Sassafras to tasks by clicking and dragging their character icons to one of the wooden slots under each activity area. Once you've decided who to assign, press the arrow button of the sundial in the bottom right corner to progress to the afternoon. 

Afternoon

During the afternoon, you have Bean check in on others by clicking and dragging their character icon to a slot next to other characters. Who you decide to put Bean with will decide who you have a conversation with during that day. After you've placed Bean,  hit the arrow button again.

Evening

During the evening, characters might start conversations. You continue through them by pressing the arrow button in the bottom right corner. Because this is only a demo, we only have a few dialogues right now, so if you don't get one every day, don't worry! Once you finish a dialogue, you can send everyone home and start the next day by pressing the button again.

Note: If you are unable to move Bean (the cat) during the afternoon phase, please close the demo, and reopen it. We are currently trying to fix this bug, but restarting seems to be a quick fix at the moment.
