The Forest Update v0.06b

If you’re a fan of survival horror games then chances are you’ve been keeping an eye on the The Forest. If you haven’t then here’s a quick breakdown (without giving away spoilers)!

You’re stranded on a heavily forested island by a plane crash, you dead/unconscious son has been taken by a really creepy half naked dude…. aaaaand GO!

That’s essentially all the information you have at the beginning of the game, and you immediately have to build a shelter, scrounge up some dinner, and try not to get murdered by marauding packs of naked cannibals. Fun times all round.
