The Forest is a survival horror video game developed and published by Endnight Games. The game takes place on a remote heavily forested peninsula, where the player character Eric LeBlanc must fight off cannibalistic monsters, while searching for his son Timmy after a plane crash. The game features nonlinear gameplay in an open world environment played from a first-person perspective, with no set missions or quests, empowering the player to make their own decisions for survival. Following a four-year long early access beta phase releasing in 2014, the finished game was released for Windows in April 2018, and for the PlayStation 4 in November 2018. The game was a commercial success, selling over five million copies by the end of 2018.
Runs well on modern hardware.

the game is certainly very interesting and large-scale, but the damn natives don't let me live peacefully... I can't take it anymore, and I can't take it with the monster that destroyed the tree house.
play this before sons of the forest or only play this game because the story is way better and its way scarier
Even though this is a horror game, this game is one of the funniest games I've ever sunk hours into so far with my friends. There's just something about the cannibals attacking you that is so funny, and the physics of this game too are so broken that it makes me laugh so hard and just a lot of funny moments with my goofy friends. Good game! 💯
