About The Forest
The Forest is a first-person survival horror game in which you play the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, stranded in a mysterious forest. You gather resources, build a place to live and fight to survive against a society of cannibalistic mutants.
The forest and caves
The world is alive with trees and plants that you can chop down. Beneath the forest lies a vast network of caves and underground lakes.
Build and survive
You can cut trees to build a camp or start a fire to keep warm, and scavenge for food to avoid starvation. Build anything from a small shelter to a large ocean-side fortress, then set traps and defences to protect its perimeter. Explore and build during the day, then defend your base at night. You can craft weapons and tools, bunker down in the evening or take the fight to the enemy.
Face the mutants
The enemy is a clan of genetic mutants with beliefs, families and morals, whose members appear almost human. Use stealth to evade them or fight with crude weapons made from sticks and stones.
