Bond: Wish of the Forest

It’s dangerous to go alone, take this (creature)! We are a game development team at UCSC currently working on a creature collector roguelite called Bond!

[Bond: Wish of the Forest @BondTheGame]

Hello! We are Team Apple Farm, and we are developing a creature collector roguelite called Bond: Wish of the Forest. It's a fast-paced action game all about befriending forest critters and using their unique abilities in combat to fight against evil spirits and protect your home!

Last week at the UCSC Games Showcase we took home 3 Game Awards and 8 Individual Awards!🏆

Thank you to everyone who supported us and congratulations to our peers and friends who made their capstone games alongside us!✨🐌

"What started off as a story about my experience feeling alone and learning to be with myself during quarantine, became an amazing game I think many will relate to and enjoy. I love my rockstar team, and couldn't have imagined taking this journey with anyone else!"
