or more benevolent than we were led to believe, and I felt it was important to visually communicate that in every environment in-game. I enjoy a story of a witch that can manipulate her scenery, creating a false sense of security to the observer. [cont]

Meet Mamó! Mamó is the main protagonist and player character in Forest Keeper, available in Winter 2024/25.
