The Forest is a horror survival video game. Endnight Games developed and published this title. The game is set in a distant, deeply forested peninsula. A plane crash has occurred with Eric Leblanc- your character and Timmy- your character’s son but luckily, they are alive. The game includes nonlinear gameplay in an open world and you can play from a first-person perspective. This perspective brings no set tasks or quests, allowing you to make your decisions for survival. In April 2018, the game was released for Microsoft Windows and in November 2018, it was released for PlayStation 4. With over five million copies sold by the end of 2018, the Forest was a commercial success. Moreover, a useful place you should visit if you have trouble or any questions about this game is The Forest Wiki. It is the most inclusive source of this game’s information.
