Your Ranger Journey Begins
In Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, players take on the role of a national park ranger responsible for managing daily tasks and responding to challenges in the scenic Faremont National Park. Whether clearing trails, collecting litter, repairing signs, helping lost hikers, or responding to urgent wildlife calls, every action helps preserve the park’s natural beauty and safety.
Equipped with essential tools like an axe, hammer, and litter picker, rangers will explore a variety of richly detailed biomes, including dense forests and flower-filled meadows to rocky ridges and winding rivers, either on foot or in their fast and robust ranger pickup.
Using their ranger camera, players can observe and document encounters with a wide range of flora and fauna. From playful raccoons and majestic eagles to graceful deer and elusive wolves, each sighting adds a new educational entry to a growing personal wildlife lexicon.
But ranger duties go beyond nature: guiding hikers, checking permits, and ensuring public safety are just as important to ensure an enjoyable habitat for both wildlife and visitors.
Early Access Begins Soon
Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator will launch in Early Access with an already broad set of features, offering hours of engaging gameplay from day one. Throughout the Early Access phase, players can look forward to regular free content updates, with new tools, activities, and wildlife enhancements planned. The player community will play a crucial role in shaping the game’s further development through feedback and ideas.
