Forests are, both culturally and ecologically, one of the most important environments on our planet. As such, there are countless
representations of them - with Digital Games being no exception. In
this paper we adopt the perspective of ecocriticism, which regards
the analysis of the textual portrayal of physical environments of
the natural world. In particular, we propose here a framework for
the analysis of forest representations in digital games, mindful of
the many different layers that coexist together: cultural, discursive,
representational and ludic. In order to test our framework and to
showcase its potential, in the last section we present a brief analysis
of the slicing game Jack Lumber and of the ideological tensions
that emerge from the game
