The Forest is a first-person survival horror video game in development by Endnight Games for Windows. The game's pre-alpha version was released through Steam Early Access on May 30, 2014.[1]
Gameplay
In The Forest, the player must survive on an island on which their character's plane has crashed by creating shelter, weapons, and other survival tools.[2] During the game the developers want players to question whether the island's cannibalistic tribe is the enemy of the player or vice versa or even the player's own past come back to haunt him in some convoluted dream;[2] for example, while fighting the player, the cannibals may try to protect one another from injury.[3] Though there are no set missions, there will be an optional conclusion to the game.[3]
The game will feature a day and night cycle, with the player able to construct shelter and collect supplies during the day, and being forced to defend themselves against the island's nocturnal inhabitants by night.[4]
Development
The Forest was inspired by cult films such as The Descent and Cannibal Holocaust and video games like Minecraft and Don't Starve,[4][5] and was accepted as part of Steam Greenlight in 2013.[6] Developers Endnight Games have said that Disney was an inspiration for the game, commenting that they do not want the whole game to be entirely "dark and depressing."[4] The game is being developed to be compatible with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.[7] The development team is considering a multi-player mode, and have said that a co-op mode could add to the sense of randomness in the game, though they wish to stay away from the mass multi-player feel of DayZ or Rust.[3][4]
The development team has a background in film visual effects, having worked on films such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Tron: Legacy. The game is being developed using Unity 4.[8]
