The Forest

A survival horror game that begins with a plane crash on a forested peninsula, where your son is taken. By day you gather resources and build shelter; by night cannibal tribes attack. The caves hide both the story and the worst horrors. Up to eight players can survive together in co-op. Is it your kind of game?
