Added DiffLines:

* FairyRing: The mushrooms in one must be rearranged to dispel the magic of the fairies troubling inhabitants of the forest.


Added DiffLines:

* MagicMushroom: These play a big role in one chapter, "The Enchanted Mushrooms". You and various forest animals become brightly recoloured with spots after touching ones lying around, and you undo the affliction by arranging mushrooms in a FairyRing correctly.

* FloatingContinent: The entirety of Forestia is situated on an island that floats in the air, replete with WaterfallIntoTheAbyss. It is never specified if it is just a floating landmass on top of a normal world, or if it's a WorldInTheSky made entirely of floating landmasses.



* ThatCloudLooksLike: One chapter involves competing with Sam about who is the faster one to identify and draw animals from clouds. The clouds glide across the screen and conspicuously stop midway, morph into animal shapes and back, and then go on their merry way.

* SurpriseCreepy: 8 out of the 9 scenarios are lighthearted fun. But the exception is The Fire Mountain chapter, which is like straight out of a {{Lovecraftian}} fever dream of a CreepyPasta. It begins normally, with Sam inviting you to look at constellations in the wooden tower, after which he promptly goes to sleep. Then, just like that, you awaken in hell. Everything is tinted [[RedFilterofDoom a searing bright red]], an ominous choir sings a neverending low drone, your cute animal and tree friends are found motionless around the forest, ''with their souls floating off their bodies'', a dragon explains to you an insane wizard has awakened a volcano to annihilate everything...
