Hey! Glad you tried our submission and thanks for the comment :)
About the story: the Forest of Deception tries to deceive those who lie and bring them to Angràkos (the big frog, nameless in the game) so that the beast can feed its evil spirit. Elijah actually lied and was exiled for that; he initially identify himself as a liar but when, in turn, he's deceived he (maybe :D) eventually change and promise he won't lie ever again. His fate depends on choosing whether to follow the truth or... to follow Ruth :-)
