There are also different items that you can interact with in the forest, such as the aforementioned mushrooms or objects such as buckets and keys. To successfully make your way through each level you will have to deal with a number of puzzles. As such, you will have to carefully hide and avoid monsters and traps to survive. Your character, unsurprisingly, cannot fight back against the monsters in the forest.
