About the game

What Feed The Forest is.

A short, innocent incremental forest-builder. Unlock snail powers to spread life in a barren desert. Feed the mysterious Forest with juice. And remember: Blood is a type of juice.

“The concept sounds fun and weird in a good way, but I won't buy until I see the price and know how much there actually is to play. If this is some three-hour thing at a 20-euro price, no thanks.”

“The blood-is-juice concept made me laugh. But when they say "short" upfront, I can't commit without knowing how short. If it's a few hours and then done, I'm waiting for a sale.”

United StatesStrong hook on the absurdity

“I'm into the snail weirdness and the whole 'blood is juice' thing is hilariously dark, but I've been burned by idle games that hook you for two hours and then just loop the same grind forever. If there's actual strategy under the auto-clicker vibe, I'm in, if it's just waiting for numbers to go up, I'll bounce.”
