Welcome to the forests of Raven Brooks, where you can step away from the hustle and bustle of town life, angry neighbors, questionable architectural practices, and people that take exception to you intruding on their property and just bask in tranquility and solitude.

Raven Brooks Forests

There’s nothing more relaxing than a quiet walk in the woods. The crunch of leaves beneath your feet, the soft breeze rippling through the trees, the smell of freshly cut lumber... Don’t let the seemingly impenetrable darkness or sense of being watched put you off though, it’s probably all in your head.

An Idyllic Church & graveyard

Once a renowned landmark and popular destination for townsfolk, the church and adjoining graveyard has found itself in need of a little renovation over recent years. That, alongside some strange noises from the basement and a bell that seems like it would fall at the slightest knock shouldn’t put you off visiting, however.

State-of-the-art woodcutting technology

While it might not look like much these days, this machinery (which provided much of the wood that built our quaint little town), is more than capable of providing you some high quality planks. Perfect for building platforms or boarding up your doors! It's unlikely you’ll need to do any of that, but those were the first examples that came to mind.

Peaceful solitude

Naturally, everybody needs an escape sometimes. Something to break up the monotony of running away from people because they found us lurking in their closets or petting their cat. And Raven Brooks Forest offers you just that. Solitude, quiet and time to reflect, maybe even do a little bird watching.

(We must also stress that recent reports of a strange cloaked figure seen lurking throughout the woods are probably completely unfounded.)
