Black Feather Forest: Inspired by True Events
Investigate a mystery in a 2D adventure from indie developer Hedgefield
In Black Feather Forest you’ll play Sofia, a documentary filmmaker. Along with her cameraman Caleb, she travels to Augier’s Peak in rural Canada, where several people have recently disappeared.
You’ll meet townsfolk and gather clues by speaking with them as well as by combining pieces of evidence and statements. You’ll discover that each person with whom you interact has his or her own reasons to either help you…or not.
Black Feather Forest‘s story is inspired by true events and Haida mythology. Indie developer Hedgefield — which is really a single individual by the name of Tim Hengeveld (who’s the game’s designer, writer, artist, animator and programmer) — has done considerable research in order to give the game’s subject matter the respect it deserves.
Black Feather Forest also takes inspiration from such sources as True Detective, Fargo, Bright Falls, Kentucky Route Zero, Puzzle Agent and Detective Grimoire.
The game is being developed for Windows and Mac. A release date is TBD.
