The Forest Game is a 2D platformer created as a final Master of Art project at the University of Connecticut. The game was made using the Unity platform and the Corgi Engine plugin. The player controls a researcher named Oslac who explores the Selva forest. On repeated visits the player notices gradual changes to the environment as a result of deforestation.
