Forest Survival Game Among Trees Gets Full Release Date

Sandbox Survival games are always a mixed bag. Some of them are great and let you enjoy a peaceful or chaotic experience that feels fun. Others just throw mechanics at the wall to see what sticks. FJRD Interactive’s Among Trees actually looks like an interesting attempt at the genre, and the developers have finally announced that it is coming out of Early Access.

Among Trees will release on Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 10^th and will cost players $14.99. Since the game entered Early Access, the developers have added fishing, a brewery, a hydration system, a fox companion, and more. Here is what the press release has to say about the game and its upcoming release.

“Escape to an enchanting, living sandbox surrounded by wildlife and nature. Scavenge materials and craft tools to turn your small cabin into a warm, well-supplied home. Survive by fishing, cooking, and growing your own food. Be careful though, the forest is as dangerous as it is wonderful.

Explore a living, colorful world, ranging from dense forests to dark caves. Your cabin grows with you: build new rooms to unlock additional game mechanics, including cooking, gardening, crafting, and sewing. Nurture delicate (and delicious) plants in your greenhouse. Eat them raw or make a stew for better nutritional values.

Dangerous animals roam some areas in the woods. Better keep a distance if you can. (Among Trees also includes a ZEN mode without dangerous animals) While the wilderness can be dangerous, it doesn’t mean you can’t make new friends. Adopt a Fox Pet who you can feed, pet, and train to help you find loot.”

Among Trees is gorgeous, and I think fans of survival games will love it. Alternately, playing in Zen mode would allow you to just enjoy building and living out in the beautiful wilderness landscape. Can’t go wrong with that right?
