Forest Rites

<p class="bb_paragraph" >You are Goya, a young raccoon determined to complete your village’s sacred rite of passage. To prove yourself, you must face — and defeat — nine fearsome opponents in a relentless gauntlet. Will you overcome the trials and earn the right to leave your village and explore the world beyond?</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Forest Rites is a card battler inspired by trick-taking games. It’s meant to be a compact, gameplay-driven experience with very light narrative elements. I made this between 2021 and 2024 in my spare time as a fun experiment around a rarely-seen mechanic in video games.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" >Features:</p><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Short length (30 to 45 minutes per game)</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Roguelike progression</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Fight your opponents through a card system inspired by trick-taking games</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Face the forest's masters, each with their own fighting style and strategy</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >Two modes available: beginner and normal</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" >In normal mode, your score is saved at the end of each game: try to beat your best score and climb the leaderboard!</p></li></ul>
