Landlord of the Woods

예? 저요? 저녁이요?

Landlord of the Woods is a short puzzle game, with a mild horror ambience. The main character is having a mid-life crisis about his - its? - work and purpose, so he - it? - leaps at the opportunity to become the rent-collecting Lord of the Woods. Each of five very odd tenants must pay what they owe (a strange collection of objects) but only when the Landlord fulfils an equally strange contract obligation to them. The art style is reminiscent of the Rusty Lake and Forgotten Hill games, but with a more simplified level of detail. The puzzles are not difficult and many are manipulative e.g. moving objects to extract them or match them to a template. Overall, an entertaining and macabrely attractive game, and reasonable value for money (1 hour's play time for UK £0.89 in my case). And the moral of the tale - perhaps "the grass may not be greener - but very likely redder - on the other side of the hill", or "there's another - and sharper - meaning of the word 'rent'..."

It has rusty lake vibes and the visuals are nice. I don't have any problem with the game being too short or easy. But the story is so flat that it doesn't make me want to play.

Kinda short but a really good game, would call it a macabre adaption of the usual cozy game style. Made me question life for a second here and there but its really beautiful. Would recommend :D

I really enjoy everything this developer puts out. They have an odd collection of creepy, yet cozy, titles. Landlord of the Woods is everything you look for in a short point and click game. It's calm, mindless gameplay (in the best way).
