Codex project starter for a single-player The Forest mashup with Forza Horizon 5.
Current status: design and implementation brief only. This folder does not yet contain a compiled or playable mod. The build route, game versions, loader, and safe runtime access to FH5 content must be verified in the connected Melty/game environment.
Repair and upgrade an original orange-and-black buggy, explore The Forest for fuel and parts, and survive encounters that react to engine noise. Players visit abandoned rally stops as exploration locations. There is no race timer or speed leaderboard.
Forza Horizon 5 is a required companion game. A real FH5 resource must be read from the player's own installed copy while the mod runs. FH5 files must not be copied into this project or its release.

The agent should start by checking whether Melty and the installed games are available, then follow AGENTS.md and tasks/MVP.md. Do not describe the project as playable until it has been built and tested in The Forest.
