Key Features

Engage with wild animals

Touch, move, and play with a forest full of animals including bears, squirrels, foxes, badgers, and owls! To journey deeper into the forest, you need to fulfill these animals’ basic needs. Earn your animals’ trust, and they’ll play with you; be mean to them, and they will fear you.

Explore the vast forest and make it your own

Embark on new adventures when you unlock forest areas including woodlands, swamps, or castle ruins. Move and pick up everything in your forest. Some plants grow better near water, and certain animals are healthier when close to particular food sources. The happier your animals and plants, the more places you’ll have to explore and discover new objects and animals!

Solve challenges

The animals need YOU in order to live happily in the forest. Help them gain access to food, move into your forest, clean polluted areas, and much more.

Survival of the fittest!

Find out who the troublemakers and the good guys are, and make sure they all get along … or not!

Discover secrets in the wild

More lies in the forest than what meets the eye. Uncover one-of-a-kind objects and animals, some with special abilities, by completing tasks.

Experience the forest with your friends (Wii™ only)

The forest, filled with exciting wildlife, is big enough for you and your pals. Play cooperatively with up to four players at the same time!
