 Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator.
 Key features
 Enter a living, breathing world, where every tree and plant can be chopped down. Below ground explore a vast network of caves and underground lakes.

About the Game
 As the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, you find yourself in a mysterious forest battling to stay alive against a society of cannibalistic mutants.
Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator.

Key alpha features
 Enter a living, breathing world, where every tree and plant can be chopped down. Below ground explore a vast network of caves and underground lakes.

  • Chop down trees to build a camp, or start a fire to keep warm. Scavenge food to keep yourself from starving.
  • Build a small shelter or a large ocean side fortress. Lay traps and defences to keep a safe perimeter.
  • Explore and build during the day. Defend your base at night. Craft weapons and tools. Bunker down during the evening or bring the fight directly to the enemy.
  • Defend yourself against a clan of genetic mutant enemies that have beliefs, families, morals and that appear almost human.
  • Use stealth to evade enemies, or engage them directly with crude weapons built from sticks and stones.

Development roadmap
 The Forest has been in development for a while, but now we need your feedback to make it even better. Our vision for this game is a terrifying open world full of gameplay options and player freedom. We've come a long way but still have a lot of features and improvements to make. Here's a small sampling of what we hope to add to the game during alpha:

  • Many more animals - fish, snakes, frogs and bird types. We want to really bring the world to life with the variety of fauna.
  • More trapping and hunting options.
  • Expanded A.I. - We're trying some really cool stuff for our AI, and plan to keep it evolving and improving over the alpha.
  • More areas to explore - over time new areas will be added and unlocked and our cave system will continue to develop downwards.
  • More buildable items - More options in what you can construct and what's available to use.
  • More crafting options, more items combinable and more exciting things to create.
  • New creatures - as we unlock more and more of the world and caves over the course of the alpha we'll also be introducing many new terrifying creatures along with a few surprises.
  • Visual improvements - we want to keep pushing what's possible, making the world look, feel and run better.
  • Many UI tweaks and polish.
  • Additional game modes, including a no-enemies cheat mode for players who want a calmer experience.
  • Multiplayer - we find the idea of co-op play in this world really exciting and hope to implement a form of co-op into the experience.
  • Full oculus rift compatibility for the most immersive experience possible. *Note, this will not be available in first version of alpha*

Progress Update[]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post a quick update on our release plan. We've been aiming for an end of year alpha release, but as Christmas approaches we’re realizing there’s still a lot of work left to do.
 Our new target date for the alpha release on steam is early 2014. We’ll try and open pre-orders before then and also post some new screenshots and videos soon.
 We've been adding a lot of features to the game and also improving the visuals and so we feel it’s going to be worth the extra wait.
 Thanks everyone for your continued support and messages. You guys have all been awesome and we really appreciate all the help in spreading the word about our game!

 Thanks for everyone's support and messages!

Steam Greenlight[]

The Forest has been greenlit! Thanks everyone for the votes and excitement for the game!

Seven titles Greenlit Today

In continuing with smaller, more frequent batches, we've just Greenlit six more games and one software title.
 These titles were selected on the same criteria we have been using in the past: Votes in Greenlight give us a hugely valuable point of data in gauging community interest along with external factors such as press reviews, crowd-funding successes, performance on other similar platforms, and awards and contests to help form a more complete picture of community interest in each title.
 Here are the latest titles advancing through Steam Greenlight, and being offered worldwide distribution via Steam:
 Assetto Corsa
 DreadOut
 Ether One
 GunZ 2: The Second Duel
 Heaven Benchmark
 Stonehearth
 The Forest
This batch will be the second round of developers to run through a set of redesigned tools on Steam aimed at streamlining the process of shipping new titles.

As with past batches, these titles will be released independently in the weeks or months ahead, as they complete development and integrate with any of the Steamworks features they are interested in utilizing.

Interview with PC Gamer[]

Thanks everyone for your questions and enthusiasm for the game!
 Here's a new interview we just did with PC Gamer going into a lot of depth about the game's world and feature
