Cassette Player

The Cassette Player (also referred to as the Walkman) plays music with cassette tapes, which gives the player energy and helps sanity, though it can attract cannibals and mutants. It was added in update v0.02 of The Forest.

Gameplay
Since v0.03, you can turn off the cassette player by doing the "play" action again. Prior to the v0.08b update it played random songs, but now new tapes must be collected from locations such as the caves in order to be used.

Since v0.11 the Cassette Player can be attached to a large tree or trap by approaching to it and pressing the  key to attract nearby cannibals. You can take it again from the tree or trap pressing. This will attract cannibals and mutants to the placed cassette player, it will not wake up sleeping cannibals, however. This is designed to lure them to an area or trap, or as a distraction. Placed cassette players will remain where they are even if a trap or tree is destroyed. If you save and exit, it will still be there.

Turning off the cassette player
Stopping the music can be achieved by pressing the primary mouse button (left click) while you have the cassette player equipped.

Locations
- Inside the Yacht - Cave 2, separate cave section

Origin
It can be easily assumed that the cassette player belonged to the yacht inhabitants. The cassette player can be found there, and Tape 5 and Tape 4 can both be found on the graves that appear to belong to yacht inhabitants. Possibly the inhabitants managed to visit a few of the caves before their death, searching for the resurrection obelisk, which would explain why cassettes can be found in the caves. Alternatively, the cannibals could have dragged the tapes there like they do other goodies.

Cassettes
There are currently 5 cassette tapes in the world. They are as follows:
 * Cassette 1 is Fatal Request - "Stronghold".
 * Cassette 2 is The Slaps - "No Conscience".
 * Cassette 3 is Frankie Millionaire - "Do It".
 * Cassette 4 is Wolf on Fire - "The Haunting".
 * Cassette 5 is Rick Gold - "Strength, Ability and Wisdom".
