A TNQ Nexus game
Hide in the dusk. Wake the forest. Never let the Watcher see you.
15 levels · 3 chapters · 45 embers
Two moods, one forest. You need the light to move forward, and the light gets you seen.
Cool, dark and safe. Glowcaps bounce you high, glow moss holds your weight, briars fall back and thornlings sleep as stone.
Warm light makes the forest grow. Flowers open into platforms and vines weave into bridges. Briars grow too, and thornlings wake up hungry.
While the forest is awake, its amber eye opens. Return to dusk or step under thick canopy before it opens fully.
Each level hides three embers. Collect them all to fully light the forest.
A D or arrows to move, Space to jump, E or Shift to switch mood, Esc to pause.
Arrows on the left, leap and sun buttons on the right. On a gamepad: stick to move, A to jump, X to switch.

The Heartwood
The traveler reached the heart of the wood and set down the last ember. High in the canopy, the Watcher closed its amber eyes. Not in anger this time, but in rest. The forest would wake and sleep again, as it always had, and somewhere a small hooded figure walked on, unseen and unafraid.
