Six Foot Kid, known for their work on Band Stars (Free) with Halfbrick, are working on a new puzzle game called Forgotten Forest: Afterlife, which releases on Thursday, October 29th. The game’s match-3 gameplay might put you off at first, but there’s a pretty neat mechanic in play, where you can make matches originating from the protagonist in order to move around each level. You have 3 different shards of bottled memories to collect in a limited number of turns, eventually getting the memories to the shrine in each level. It does enough to make this stand out among other match-3 games.
The really interesting part about Forgotten Forest: Afterlife is that Six Foot Kid decided to eschew any sort of in-app purchases for the game. It’s going to be a premium release, and you can’t spend money on anything in the game. It’s easy to see where with the turn limit, they could have done so, but they’re going with a pay-once system here. That should interest those of y’all who love puzzle games but maybe want a game that’s not about monetization every now and then. This one releases on Thursday, October 29th.
