Hello!

I'm excited to share the development status of the final additional content that will be updated at the end of this month. This update includes all the remaining unreleased areas and content except for the final battle.


The map related to the "Sigil of the Tree', which was previously inaccessible in the main quest, will be revealed.

The 'Road of Proof', accessible from the south of the Central Forest, is where the teachers who taught baby Ogu gather. This path leads to the final battle location, so the teachers will check if baby Ogu is ready to face the final boss.


The Central Cave, connecting various parts of the Central Forest, will be revealed.

In the Central Cave, you will be able to mine two types of gems that were previously unobtainable and encounter trash monsters and puzzles related to the overall story of the game.

Additionally, with the opening of the Central Cave, entrances to it will also be added.


The quests and related areas of the Apple Woods, leading from the southwestern world to Hermit Crab Village, will be revealed. Small quests involving 'Panpan', who runs the orchard, as well as the mountain path connected to the Apple Forest and Bee Village, will be updated.


A small quest will be added to Harbor Town.


The northern area of Sky Island and the ruins of the Moon Forest Cave will become accessible. Additionally, about 20 new Piece of Artifact will be added to complete all museum collections.


This update is scheduled for the end of April. Following this, development of the final boss fight and final testing will proceed, with an official release planned for the end of July.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and we will do our best to ensure a successful official launch.

Thank you!

Hello! 😊

Before we prepare for the final journey to the Sigil of the Tree content, we're currently wrapping up the blocked-off sections and hidden content in the areas released so far.

Accordingly, the next update will include many maps and various mid-bosses, along with mini-games and puzzles, even though it is not a new area update.

Please check out the key contents below!


As some of you may know, there is a hidden space behind a waterfall somewhere in the Village of the Sun.

Fittingly named 'Trial of the Waterfall,' behind this waterfall lies a challenging puzzle involving 'pushing' mechanics and a hidden boss that you would never have imagined.



Somewhere in the eastern jungle is a hidden temple dedicated to the study of the monkey's dance.
What could possibly happen in this scary yet exciting place?

The path at the entrance of the Moon Forest Village that many of you have been curious about is set to open.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the corrupted Silk Worm Warrior, a bug named 'Blanc' wearing white shorts is ruling over the Dusky Town.
What will happen in Dusky Town, where tennis is loved?

You'll be able to play the hidden temple and Anglerfish Cave in the latter part of the sea area.

In the temple, you can acquire a new sea area hat, and in the cave, you'll meet a new mid-boss.


In the southern part of the Snowfield, you'll find an island full of penguins.

Solve the creepy mystery hidden among the adorable penguins!


On the western path of the Central Forest, there is a secluded cabin.
There, you can meet Tucker, who is researching the trash monsters.


Before facing all the bosses, a portal that allows for quick travel to the nearest village will be added.

If the boss battle is tricky, return to the village to heal and buy items that will help in combat before challenging again!


Various functions are planned to be added to the hats that have not had specific features so far.
Stay tuned!


The rewards for mini-games, which were low compared to playtime and difficulty, are set to increase.
With the adjustments in the value of in-game content, the values of items will also be revised.




The update is scheduled for the third week of March.
We hope many of you will enjoy 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' even more with the preparations we've made.

Thank you!

The new area, Snowfield, has been updated!
Here are the key features of this update:


Snowfield is a region filled with snow, ice, and a conspiracy unfolding in secret.
Baby Ogu must join forces with the small detective 'Paul' to uncover the hidden secrets of Snowflake Village.


You can charge up and release a powerful headbutt.
The longer you charge the headbutt, the farther and more powerful it becomes.

Use the headbutt to break through solid obstacles or deal significant damage to enemies.
In Snowfield, you'll encounter puzzles and enemies that can only be solved or defeated with a headbutt.


In underground areas and caves across all regions, some rocks can be broken to reveal jewel-crafting stones.
In Snowfield, you can find jewel crafting tools that allow you to craft jewels from these stones.

Currently, excluding two jewels in the Central Forest, you can collect 10 different jewels.
which can be displayed in the museum.


The main quest in the Snowfield area involves finding three clues hidden in Snowflake village with Paul.

• Uncover the purpose of the mining in the Crystal Cave
  
  
• Reveal what research is being conducted in the Research Base
  
  
• Discover the source of the white fruits on the high mountain
  
  

Added are various new collectibles, including Snowfield-themed interior items, collectible bugs, totems, and more.

We plan to spend about 1-2 weeks on build stabilization, followed by completing the Central Forest and ensuring 100% progress in each area.
We are working hard to develop the official version set for release in the first half of this year.

Thank you!

Hello! ːsteamhappyː

We are putting the final touches on our Snowfield update for next week.

We will introduce the details of the update along with the update notes next week.



Our plans following next week's Snowfield update are as follows:

After the Snowfield area update, we plan to spend about two weeks on bug fixes and stabilization.

We plan to prepare for expanding 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' to more platforms and conduct final tests for the official release.



We will continue to work hard to ensure that 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' is launched as a more fantastic and deep game.

See you next week!
