Evaluation

The Forest of Silver Shallots entered Steam Early Access on January 18, 2026 and remains in that state. The developer (0x0Real Studio) undertook a sweeping architectural rebuild of the game earlier in 2026, reworking the dialogue system, save system, narrative structure, and combat engine. The rebuilt version, which went live on June 24, 2026, expanded the story to over 500,000 words with 2,600+ narrative nodes and multiple ending routes, and added new systems like the Tower of Ascension endless challenge mode. Since the previous evaluation on July 8, 2026, the developer has remained active. A bug fix patch shipped on July 14, 2026 addressing narrative consistency issues and soft-locks. A larger feature patch followed on July 23, 2026, completing a full proofread of Lilith's dialogue (several hundred lines across 30+ story files), auditing 24,000+ lines of English and Traditional Chinese translations, and fixing progression-blocking bugs. Most significantly, the developer published a development roadmap on August 26, 2026 — the most recent communication — laying out a clear plan: text polish and bug fixes in the near term, followed by a February 2027 major update bringing three new map areas (the Demon Lord's Castle, the Iron-Blood Capital, and Veritas), the return of Lilith's voice acting, and continued story continuity restoration. The developer's July 8, 2026 transparency post remains relevant context: the original EA budget was largely exhausted before a team transition, and the team is now smaller than it was, with development sustained by publisher funding and shared QA resources. The developer acknowledged this has slowed the update cadence and said they would not go silent without notice. The August 26 roadmap confirms they have not gone silent and are actively planning substantial new content. However, the reduced team size and reliance on company-level funding rather than a dedicated project budget means that the February 2027 target carries meaningful uncertainty. The game also still has outstanding work planned for the full release: complete voice acting for all characters and the reintroduction of the temporarily removed Thought System.

But tell me—do you truly have the strength to bear the weight of your decisions?

Bolins, goblins, assassin vines… the Forest of Silver Shallots is filled with peril.

Choose your skills, build your party, and lead them into battle against dozens of different foes.

A mysterious beauty from the Forest of Silver Shallots, Lilith is a swordswoman with a touch of magical skill. She claims her goal is to slay the Demon Lord and bask in the people’s applause—though her most pressing concern at the moment is snatching up discounted bread.

“My name is Lilith, a Magic Swordswoman—good folks like you are rare in Golden Chalice Town.”

Though she casually says “what a coincidence,” it almost feels as if she has been waiting for you in this vast forest all along… Yet phrased that way, it might sound a little self-absorbed—maybe it really was just a coincidence.Before blowing out the candles on her fifteenth birthday, Kallen was without doubt the happiest girl in the world—blessed with loving parents, a vast bedroom in her castle, and a kingdom full of loyal subjects.

But on that fateful day, she made a single wish: to leave the castle. Following a butterfly into the forest, she returned only to find her kingdom shrouded in black mist, transformed into a living hell. There was no time to grieve—an inferno soon devoured everything she had once called home.

From that day onward, Kallen’s smile vanished. In its place remained a sharpened scythe… and a heart consumed by vengeance.

“Pray for your own safety—I won’t save you twice.”

Turning away, she disappeared into the darkness—her only purpose now to hunt down the mysterious figure she glimpsed within the flames that day, even if it means severing her own emotions.

For Fouco, life as the Demon Lord was nothing but endless drudgery—24 hours of routine: meetings on “advancing the modernization of the Demon Army under the New Era,” evaluations of destructive operations, and bureaucratic oversight of her underlings. She grew weary of it all.

Abandoning her throne, she thought she could finally live a carefree life as a wanderer. Yet her successor, Rahabe, plunged the land into a reign of darkness—forcing Fouco into deep regret for her choice.

Now, to atone for her mistakes and to end this unending war, she must fight as the former Demon Lord… against the Demon Lord herself.

“I see… one step after another, a thousand miles in the making… Hero, you’ve truly thought this through.”

Naturally, Fouco found her destined Hero—for she had already glimpsed countless futures where this Hero defeats Rahabe.Raised since childhood under the admiration of others as the so-called Bridge of Truth, Sartre’s life seemed destined to be smooth sailing. Yet such precocious brilliance soon drew suspicion and envy from her superiors—the old scholars at the institute dismissed her work as little more than castles in the air. Their endless jeers and criticisms weighed heavily on her, dragging down the pace of her research.

Unwilling to waste her life in petty quarrels with mediocrity, Sartre severed her ties and abandoned her post at the Ninth Research Institute. What she needed was vast, uninterrupted time—time to calculate, to simulate, until she could complete the ultimate Genesis Grand Magic.

“You’ve caught my attention. From now on, you’ll be my research subject!”

…And yet, some new curiosity always seems to steal her gaze. The road to her great magic remains ever long.

"Defeat the Demon Lord and become a hero" was Green's dream since childhood. At the age of 8, when he first witnessed General Satyr's brave figure at the imperial palace's military parade, Green quietly set the goal to join the Silver Griffin.

As the youngest agent in the Griffin Intelligence and Countermeasure Department, Green Roland became a highly anticipated rising star. However, during a mission, an "accident" left him severely wounded, and when he regained consciousness, he received notice that he had been dismissed from the military.

No one knows exactly what happened that day. Green Roland still roams the streets as usual, but today he has a new identity and a new goal.

"I am Green, a hunter living in this forest."

Since that day, Green has decided to walk down this thorny path.
