The German phrase Auf Abwegen literally translates to “on a stray path” or “off course.” It refers to someone or something that has deviated from the expected route—physically, morally, or emotionally. It’s often used to describe:

• A person who has lost their way, either spiritually or mentally
  
• A journey that veers into unknown or risky territory
  
• A decision that leads to unexpected consequences

It carries a quiet weight—less about rebellion, more about wandering, searching, or being lost.

There’s no single folktale titled Auf Abwegen, but the concept is deeply woven into German and Central European folklore. It echoes through stories like:

• Der verlorene Weg (The Lost Path): A traveler follows a beautiful trail that leads to another world
  
• Lorelei: A siren-like woman lures sailors off course into ruin
  
• Der Erlkönig (The Elf King): A child is drawn away by a mysterious force, ending in tragedy

These tales share a theme: straying from the safe path, and encountering transformation, danger, or revelation.

Since in-game screenshots are restricted by the developer, I used Game Manual Recorder featured by Steam to capture standard frames—though the image quality may be slightly compromised.

The game begins with three playable modes: Story, Arcade, and Challenge.

• Story Mode offers a full tutorial experience, guiding you through mechanics and narrative.
  
• Arcade Mode focuses on fast-paced chase-and-run gameplay.
  
• Challenge Mode presents specific tasks where precision matters—fewer deaths lead to success.

In the quiet depths of the lower forest, a lone fish glides beneath water lilies. This moment unfolds after the hedgehog and the island crowned with a single flower. Wait for the drifting leaf to pass beneath—then leap. The fish will rise, resting gently atop the lily. When the fox claims it, the forest grants its silent reward.

Raw fish, served on water lily.

In the quiet stretch of the lower forest, a log drifts gently across the water. Between the second flowering branch and the tree that asks you to bow, a nest rests—where a bird lays its fragile hope. Wait for the moment it carries the egg. Then, with care, knock it down onto the floating log below. When the fox consumes the broken shell, the forest remembers—and the achievement is quietly given.

2. Sunny Side Up!
The perfect breakfast.
Game Mode: Story Mode


Approach the mouse quietly, from the shadowed side of its burrow. Once startled, it will flee—your chase begins. Let instinct guide your steps. When the fox finally claims its prize, the forest marks the moment with a silent reward.

3. Tex-Mex
Mr. Gonzales is no match for you.
Game Mode: Story Mode


Consume all that nature quietly offers: Two butterflies in fleeting flight, two fish beneath still waters, a mouse darting through silence, and a single egg, fragile and waiting. Only when all are claimed does the forest yield its final reward.

4. All You Can Eat
It's a human invention.
Game Mode: Arcade Mode


During the chase, seek refuge atop a stump with a root that reaches upward. Climb just high enough—beyond the hunter’s grasp. Then, let go. No movement, no resistance. In stillness, the fox will curl into sleep. And in that quiet pause, the forest offers its reward.

5. Hyper-Nation
This is NOT the right time!
Game Mode: Arcade Mode


Challenge Mode isn’t just a test of reflexes—it’s a trial of instinct and persistence. Every leap, every mistake, every retry is part of the rhythm. Don’t chase perfection; chase progress. Keep moving, keep learning. Victory comes not from flawless execution, but from the quiet refusal to give up.

6. Call me "Tails".
Finish Challenge Mode in less than 2 min.

7. Iron Fox Mode
Finish Challenge Mode, but only die once.

8. Don't go astray!

At the end of its quiet journey, the fox emerges from the forest—only to be met by the hunter’s rifle. No warning, no escape. A single shot breaks the silence, and the red figure falls. The woods, once a place of instinct and survival, become a stage for loss. There is no triumph here, only the echo of footsteps that never return.

9. This is the End.
"Win" the game.
Game Mode: Any Mode


The moon hangs still in the sky, as if waiting to be seen. Through the window, its light slips in—soft, cold, and full of memory. It speaks without words, whispering of quiet nights and hopes not yet fulfilled. To gaze at the moon from a window is not just to look at the sky, but to touch something distant within yourself.

10. Man On The Moon
Take a look out of your window.
Game Mode: Any Mode
