ABOUT PATHLESS WOODS
Pathless Woods is a labor of love, literally speaking, as it began with two Chinese developers from Guangdong meeting to work on it, falling in love with each other, and ending up a couple. They invite you on an adventure where you stumble upon a sealed land by a twist of fate. While everything appears refreshing and bright, something mysterious lurks about. This place, shrouded in an unknown fog, is called the Pathless Woods.

Embrace the challenges of various biomes, dangerous beasts, and the evil Jaer cultists who pose a threat to everyone. Explore the world and find a way to survive while fending off danger by working with the surroundings, utilizing resources, and building networks with locals. Want to build a dream home and settle down? Or maybe unlock the ancient seal to finally free yourself? Anything and everything is possible in this poetic world.

PATHLESS WOODS – MAIN FEATURES
