It's time to embrace your inner forest hag. In this bizarre colony sim, you'll spy on and meddle with clans of wolves, pigs, and crocodiles - managing resources and solving cryptic puzzles that expand the horizons of the world you thought you knew.

You’ll take on the role of a lonely forest hag deep in The Back Country, observing and influencing the growth of three clans of animals.

Only by working together can they fully comprehend the totality of The Back Country. Unique creatures, evolving bloodlines Each animal is born with skills and visual aspects influenced by their parent animals, determining their effectiveness at work, puzzles, and research. Additional Features include: Clan hierarchies dependent on eac…
