Forest Life: Christmas Edition
A downloadable Christmas game for Windows and macOS
Forest Life: Christmas Edition is a cozy life-sim about catching fish and making friends with melancholy animals. Similar to Animal Crossing but with a narrative and a GBC inspired aesthetic.
This is a stand-alone expansion to the original Forest Life. It contains 100% of the base-game's content with an additional 1-2 hours worth of new holiday-themed content. If you're new, start with this one as it's the definitive edition of Forest Life.
So what's new?
- Friendship System - Befriend the villagers by doing favors, exchanging gifts, and having conversations. There are eight characters to befriend, each with their own story arch, including two new characters: Holly and Nicholas!
- New storylines, cutscenes, minigames, and Christmas-themed furniture to collect!
- Import your save - Players of the original game can import their save and enjoy the new content without losing progress. All quests and items from the original are present and will carry over.
New to Forest Life? Here's what to expect!
- Customize your home with over 150 pieces of unique furniture, floorings, and wall hangings. Upgrade and expand your rooms! The Trendy Home Magazine may even review and give feedback on your home!
- Over 30 (31 to be exact) fish to catch! Upgrade your fishing rod to reel in bigger fish! Sell them to make money or donate your catch to the local aquarium. You can visit the aquarium and view your fish in its new habitat at any time.
- The townsfolk are excited to make new friends. Help them out to receive gifts and letters. Watch their stories unfold as your friendships grow!
- Chock full of minigames! There's many diversions including an arcade machine, crane game, a casino, a virtual pet, pirate battles, and plinko!
- Explore the Forest. You’ll meet characters, solve a few puzzles, discover secrets, and maybe uncover the truth behind the recent earthquakes.

Hey, is it possible that we get some modding tools for the game? would love to add my own furniture
That’s a neat idea. I can look into it but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pull it off. In the meantime, feel free to edit the existing furniture, which can be found in the “img/characters” folder.
Definitely gonna tag you on X when I go live to play this! I'm always looking for holiday-themed games to play and this one is lookin' like a treat 😊
That sounds like fun! Please do!
What OS is required to run your game? (I'm guessing Windows only.) Even so, it looks amazing from the screenshots and the video! 🌟
Windows only for now, sorry! RMMV doesn't play well with non-Windows OS, unfortunately. But thank you for the kind words!
Very very lovely game, excited to play it more even though I just quit, it's a very charming experience and I'm excited to hear more of it.
Frankly this deserves way more attention that it has gotten, 4.9/5 and a heavy recommendation.
though some pet peeves emerge (looping dialogue) here and there, and the money earning gameplay is, while varied, a little repetitive (only a little), it'll probably join some of the best games I've ever played on itch based on overall enjoyment.
Also got a free 1.3k for no reason midway so probably 6/5.
Best of luck, cheers!
Thank you for the kind review! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm gonna squash that bug but I'm glad it helped raise the game's score!
