Exclusion Zone Botanist

Prepare for good dose of cosmic horror and botanical mystery in a solo expedition like no other! Welcome to the Exclusion Zone Botanist, an ENNIE-nominated solo drawing hexcrawl game by Exeunt Press.

Everyone in the Bureau just calls it the EZ. This densely forested area has been completely sealed off, its very essence mutated, along with anything unfortunate enough to enter its borders. You are a botanist, brave and perhaps a little foolhardy, assigned to explore and document the bizarre fauna within this corrupting quarantine zone. Inspired by the chilling works of H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space and Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, this game will challenge your perception of nature and survival. Your mission is clear: Get in. Discover and document. And most importantly, get out... before you become a permanent, mutated part of the forest yourself! This unique solo experience combines exploration, drawing, and a creeping sense of dread as you chart your path through the truly strange.
