Overview of The Forest
The Forest is an open world survival horror game.
The game starts where your character, Eric Leblanc is on a flight with their child, Timmy. While on the flight, it occurs that the plane is hit with major turbulence and the plane crashes. You wake up to your child being taken by some mutant and there is no sign of anybody else. You only see a vast green forest and water surrounding the remote island. You can choose to play alone or with up to 8 players.
In a way this game is like Minecraft; a popular game, where you have to explore, gather, craft, and defend against these enemies which is like many other survival games. The game provides you with complete freedom to just survive, find story oriented items, or beat the game with just your survival book.
