How to Play Clearfell: Forest Outpost
Clearfell: Forest Outpost is a survival action game where every tree is a resource and every night is a siege. Start with a single tent in a forest clearing, chop your way outward and gather wood, stone, gold and iron. Build sawmills, mines, walls, turrets and mortars; rescue caged settlers and put them to work. Every other night, goblin warbands raid along their trails — repel them with guns and grenades, then follow the trails back and burn their lairs before new ones rise deeper in the woods. The day-night loop creates constant pressure: daytime is for expansion, economy and exploration — goblin camps, ore veins, wandering merchants and prisoners all hide among the trees — while night is for defense. The forest itself is an opponent, regrowing and hiding new threats, so clearing routes and wall placement matter long-term. Research unlocks stronger defenses, and rescued settlers automate your economy. For a browser game, the depth is remarkable: base-building, tower defense, exploration and third-person shooting in one seamless loop.
