Recently, the tea house was a very unique simulation business game by friends Amway - "Good Night Forest". The game depicts a fairytale forest world of bread trees, sweetheart rivers, cake hills, chocolate houses, ice cream caves, and fun animal friends, where the exhausted player can collect materials, repair the courtyard, cultivate grunt companions, heal nightmares and heal themselves.
With the warm graphics and healing experience in the game, "Goodnight Forest" quickly attracted the participation of a large number of tap water players after the opening of the first test on April 30, and the game has now topped the tapTap new product list, and has received a large number of players with full praise, with a high score of 9.6.
01
Hand-painted fairy tale world
When we first entered the game, we could see the background of the game and the original intention of the development team from the short opening animation. In modern life, everyone is facing great pressure in life, so everyone has to run around during the day and worry about insomnia at night. Therefore, walking into the Goodnight Forest, we can temporarily escape the boring and high-pressure real life, regain the innocence and happiness of the past, and personally create a spiritual harbor for ourselves.
When the development team shaped this spiritual harbor, they adopted a unified hand-drawn cartoon style, and this fresh graphic style also fits the core of the game's healing and innocence. Under the unified drawing style, the game map is divided into several different sections, which in turn have different seasons and theme styles.
For example, the first area unlocked by the player is "Sweetheart Riverside", the area is in the summer with dark green as the main color, so the trees planted in this area are lush and the flowers are colorful; in the winter "Bread Forest", the white of the ice and snow naturally becomes the main color of the area, and the flowers, trees, and decorative items in the area are also wearing a silver and white snow crown; and the "Music Square" painted with the color of fallen leaves is in the autumn of harvest. So the development team cleverly combined the area with sweet chocolate elements, and the chocolate hut, chocolate music butterfly, and cocoa radio became the characteristic scenes in the area.
And the "Gollum" who lives in this exquisite forest is our little friend, and these Gollum are designed based on small animals, diligent foxes, cute cat sauce, warm firewood... These critters with different personalities, preferences and habits will continue to accompany us on this healing journey through the game.

Extremely free Buddhist gameplay
In addition to the fresh and cute painting style, "Good Night Forest" also includes a wealth of gameplay such as placement, management, cultivation, and combat. The game as a whole revolves around unlocking more maps and more gollums, but there are no mandatory missions in the game, and players can freely arrange their own game progress according to different situations.
Operation
First of all, after entering the game, the first thing the player sees is a courtyard that has been destroyed by the nightmare "Whistling", the player can clean up the fragments in the scene, collect seeds, materials and drawings, and then use the existing resources and the drawings that have been learned to repair the objects in the courtyard, plant various plants, and rearrange the forest according to their own preferences, making it their own goodnight forest.
After accumulating some experience and materials, we can unlock more maps of different styles.
Unlock new maps
In the business module, the most prominent point of "Goodnight Forest" is that the restoration, production and construction of objects can be completed in real time, and the waiting time for plant planting is generally set to a long time, some players do not like this, but the teahouse believes that this setting is appropriate, not only maintaining the overall beauty of the game screen, but also numerically avoiding the "playing games like work" Liver Fighting Situation, ensuring the player's Buddhist experience in the placement stage.
nurturance
In the process of business layout, players will also collect basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, ice, chocolate, etc., which can be combined to bake a variety of delicious dishes. Give these foods to Gollum who lives in the forest, they will recover a certain amount of fitness and mood, and if the ingredients are placed in front of the statue of the Sleeping God, they will attract more Gollum to play, and after the new Gollum has reached the favorability level, they will accept the invitation to live in the forest and become our new partner.
Interestingly, these little Gollum have different personalities and preferences, so in order to distinguish the tastes and preferences of the Gollum and pull the distance between them and Gollum as quickly as possible, many players have made relevant character guide manuals.

After becoming our partner, Gollum will accompany us to explore and help us collect resources, and occasionally send us beautiful postcards.
In addition to Gollum, there are occasionally some interesting visitors in the forest, and talking to these guests, we can hear more interesting stories.
fight
In addition to this, there is an important character in the game, Whirling. Whining refers to nightmares, which may be hidden in treasure chests containing treasures, may suddenly appear on the map, or may appear during the process of "sleep stranding". After encountering Gollum, the player needs to assign Gollum friends to heal nightmares, and after nightmares are healed, they may also leave some gold coins and resources.
And as the game progresses, nightmare levels will become higher and higher, so we also need to improve the healing power of Gollum by upgrading, equipping relics, etc.
other
In addition to the three main modules of operation, cultivation and combat, "Goodnight Forest" also contains many other gameplay methods worth mentioning, and among the other gameplay that has been unlocked so far, the author is the most profound about the part of making music. After learning the score and notes, players can directly make responsive sounds in the music square, and can also freely match and combine different sleep music, and the game also has a thoughtful timing function. I believe that listening to the sleep music made by yourself, insomnia players can also have a good dream.
END
After a few days of trying, the tea house believes that the beta version of "Goodnight Forest" has been regarded as a relatively mature and excellent simulation business product, and the core that the R&D team wants to express to get rid of anxiety and return to a calm inner world has also been more completely presented. It can also be seen from the full score evaluation issued by many players that "Goodnight Forest", which has gained a high reputation in the first test stage, has won the favor of a large number of "tap water" players, and has also won the praise of "cartoon version of Dongsen" with its soft and warm game content.
If you have to pick a bone from the egg, some of the technical bugs in the game have not been completely repaired, and the value of the material drops in the later stage of the game also needs to be further considered and adjusted by the development team, in addition, the game's commercial module design, online gameplay and other content have not been reflected in the first beta version. Therefore, The Tea House believes that as long as the development team does a good job in optimizing and perfecting the details, the official version of "Goodnight Forest" will definitely bring us more surprises!
