The Forest

« The Forest » est un jeu de survie-horreur en monde ouvert développé par Endnight Games. Après avoir survécu à un crash d'avion sur une île isolée, votre fils est enlevé par des autochtones locaux. Vous partez à sa recherche. Trouvez un endroit pour vous reposer, rassemblez de la nourriture et défendez-vous contre les natifs. Créez des armes et des outils de survie grâce au système de fabrication du jeu. En plus des animaux qui habitent l'île, les natifs cannibales sont également présents. Ils sont actifs la nuit, ce qui permet au joueur de piller les grottes où vivent les aborigènes pendant la journée et de les tuer dans leur sommeil. Les membres de la tribu semblent se muter pour une raison inconnue. En descendant dans les grottes, le joueur découvre des mutations de plus en plus étranges. La tribu n'est pas toujours hostile envers le joueur. Parfois, les locaux envoient des patrouilles au camp du joueur, essayent de communiquer avec lui. Pendant les combats, les membres de la tribu se cachent derrière des couvertures, protègent leurs camarades blessés ou éteignent des torches pendant la nuit pour éviter d'être détectés.

The game begins with the player Eric Leblanc riding in an airplane with his son Timmy Leblanc when the plane mysteriously crashes on a remote island. The player and his son manage to survive the crash, but the player watches helplessly as his son is kidnapped by a man in red war paint. In addition to trying to survive in the wild and fending off hostile wildlife and feral, cannibalistic mutants, the player searches the peninsula for his son. The forest surface leaves clues to help the player puzzle out the story, but the majority of the plot takes place in the caves that riddle the underside of the peninsula. Eventually, the player discovers an abandoned underground lab complex that was studying an artifact capable of bringing the dead back to life, but requires the sacrifice of a child. The player discovers that the kidnapper intended to sacrifice the player's son in order to revive his daughter. However, the player discovers that the daughter had mutated into an aggressive, cannibalistic monster, similar to the other mutants that roam the peninsula. The player confronts the child, who seizes and mutates further before attacking him, leading to the daughter's death. The player then attempts to use the daughter's body to revive his son, but the process is a failure, since a live sacrifice is needed. The player explores the lab further and discovers a second artifact that functions as a type of EMP device capable of bringing down nearby planes, implying that it is the cause of his own plane crash. The player then uses the artifact to cause another plane to crash, intending to find a sacrifice to revive his son. One year later, the player and his son have apparently been rescued, and they are invited onto a talk show to promote a book that the player wrote, chronicling his experiences. However, during the show, the player's son collapses and begins to have a seizure, implying he is undergoing the same mutation that the daughter had.
