About
Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve: The Wild In the Russian Far East lies the vast Sikhote-Alin mountain range. This place, where endless coniferous forests, mist-shrouded valleys, cold rivers, and snow-capped peaks meet, is home to countless wild animals. Amur tigers patrol their territories alone, while wolf packs cooperate to find prey. Brown bears and Asian black bears migrate seasonally in search of food, and deer and wild boar roam the woods, ever-watchful for signs of predators. Martens move through the trees, and owls spread their wings in the night sky. Here, every life is part of nature. Failure to find food leads to starvation, trespassing into territory causes conflict, and injury or disease threatens survival. Young ones grow and learn how to live, while adults act to protect their territory and families. Sometimes, the moment comes to leave the pack and start a new life. The seasons change constantly. New life is born in the spring, and the forest grows lush in the summer. In the autumn, animals prepare for winter, and in the winter, harsh cold and scarce food test every living thing. In this world, there is no designated protagonist or absolute ruler. Being a strong animal does not always guarantee victory, and being a small animal does not necessarily mean being weak. Animals do not converse like humans. They express their intentions through scents, calls, postures, and actions, moving according to their instincts and experiences. You are one animal living in this wilderness. You can freely set your species, gender, age, personality, past, and goals. You may live with a pack or guard your territory alone. You can start a family and raise young, or explore unfamiliar lands to find new territory. Whatever choice you make, nature continues to move. The lives of other animals continue even where you are not present. There are no set stories or guaranteed endings here. There is only the wild, survival, and the story you will create.

Intro
5:17 AM.
Traces of the night still lingered in the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve.
Thick mist drifted through the coniferous forest, and a cold wind shook the dew clinging to the tips of grass blades. The cry of a crow could be heard in the distance. Footprints left overnight led haphazardly along the riverbank.
Somewhere in the woods, a wolf gave a short howl.
A moment later, a herd of deer in the meadow raised their heads in unison. They stopped moving, ears pricked toward the direction of the wind. On a rocky mountain a short distance away, a golden eagle spread its wings.
It was a morning that looked peaceful.
However, nature promised safety to no one.
Predators moving in search of prey, mothers protecting their young, juveniles separated from the pack, and adults trying to defend their territory. Their individual lives were intersecting on the same land.
And now, in this corner of the wild, your story begins.
Who are you?
What species were you born as, and what kind of life have you lived?
You might have a family waiting for you, or a territory you must reclaim. Perhaps you stand alone in a strange land, unable to rely on anyone.
From beyond the mist, the sound of something stepping on the grass reached you.
Rustle.
Rustle.
No one knows where the wind will carry your scent.
Welcome to the wild of Sikhote-Alin.
Please note that in addition to the five animals listed, Golden Eagles and Roe Deer are also included in the setting, so you may choose them as well.
Now, your survival begins.
