The first video game adaptation of the critically acclaimed tabletop RPG

Heart of the Forest adapts the mechanics of the legendary title from the World of Darkness universe, emulating the experience of a classic role-playing session. It’s tailored for World of Darkness veterans and newcomers looking for an accessible entry into this rich, acclaimed universe.

A dark reflection of our world filled with corruption, apathy and violence

A vast forest full of myths and legends

This game is set in The Puszcza, a real forest complex in northern Poland.
