In Living Forest, you take on the role of a nature spirit dedicated to saving the forest and its sacred tree from the destructive flames of Onibi. You won't be alone in this quest—animal guardians have gathered to assist you around the Circle of Spirits as you advance. Each turn, these guardians provide valuable resources, so it's crucial to strategically combine their abilities, keeping in mind that some guardians prefer solitude and may not work well with others.

You have three possible paths to achieve your goal:

Plant 12 different Protective Trees.

Collect 12 Sacred Flowers to awaken Sanki, the great Guardian of the Forest.

Extinguish 12 Fires to drive away Onibi permanently.

The game concludes at the end of a complete turn when a nature spirit successfully collects at least 12 Protective Trees, 12 Sacred Flowers, or extinguishes 12 Fires.
