Forest Quest 88

Overview

Forest Quest'88 Trailer

You wake up lost in the woods and just want to get home and go to sleep. A dry, deadpan text adventure on a green CRT screen: type anything or pick from five choices, loot questionable items, and survive cryptid ambushes that only spare you if you packed the right thing. Die in one of 130 ways.

Read the full disclosureQuoted from the Steam store page

The branching narrative in FOREST QUEST '88 was generated during development using a locally-run AI language model (an offline Dolphin/LLaMA-family model via Ollama). All AI-generated text was produced ahead of time, then reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being baked into the finished game as fixed, hand-checked content. The shipped game contains no live AI generation — it plays back a static, pre-authored story. No player data is sent to any AI service; the game runs fully offline.
