The audience for the game is broad: from experimental game players to lovers of Thoreau and Transcendental literature. The game follows the loose narrative of Thoreau’s first year in the woods, with each season holding its own challenges for survival and possibilities for inspiration. At the same time, players are surrounded by the beauty of the woods and the Pond, which hold a promise of a sublime life beyond these basic needs. Players follow in his footsteps, surviving in the woods by finding food and fuel and maintaining their shelter and clothing. The game begins in the summer of 1845 when Thoreau moved to the Pond and built his cabin there.
