The sequel to The Forest with even more horror.
Sons of the Forest is the sequel to the survival horror hit The Forest, dropping players onto a mysterious island inhabited by cannibalistic mutants and supernatural threats. The AI companion Kelvin revolutionizes survival gaming — he follows verbal commands to gather resources, build structures, and assist in combat without requiring micromanagement. Building is freeform with a log-by-log construction system that allows creative base design. The story unfolds through exploration of underground facilities and encounters with increasingly bizarre creatures. Seasonal changes affect the environment, resources, and enemy behavior. Cooperative multiplayer supports up to eight players sharing a persistent world. The crafting system combines realistic survival mechanics with the tools needed to explore the island's dark secrets.
