The Forest: Crash, Cannibals, and Brutal Survival

Hello and Welcome back to my blog!

Our plane crashed on an isolated island and most of the co-passengers seemed to be dead but we survived this near-fatal incident and the survival struggle started.

@bemier survived this crash too. She is a young handsome man xD.

We gathered some essential supplies from the mess inside the plane and outside. A small axe was our primary tool and we used it to open all the suitcases. Cloths, tapes, soda cans, ropes everything is useful in a survival situation like this.

---

We chopped down some trees and made a temporary shelter to rest at night. We made a hunting structure and killed some birds too. It helped us survive and our belly was full so we could think of a way to get out of this island. But first, we needed to explore and see if we could find some presence of life here.

We were on the coastline trying to figure out the reason for dead sharks on and following turtles. But we were attacked by a group of naked cannibals who killed me but Beril survived.

---

We decided to move from the coastline, it seemed too dangerous. Going back close to the crash site looked like a safer option to us and we decided to make the essential structures to survive.

---

Did I say this place was safer? I was wrong... no place was safer from those cannibals. We had to defend our place from time to time. We were not backing down though, some of them were lit on fire too.

---

We cremated them and used their bones to make armour. Another weird mechanic is that you can put their teeth on the weapons to make them stronger.

Fish was our primary source of food during the first few days. We settled close to a lake and all our water needs were met from here. However, the act of boiling water before drinking was cumbersome. We were barely surviving and always in conflict with those cannibals.

After a few days of fighting with them, we decided to make our base safer by putting up walls around us. But these walls required a lot of logs and it was a massive task.

---

It took us a long time to complete the wall and make a platform where we could kill all the intruders safely. We had to chop down a lot of trees. But it didn't work as we intended. As we survived for more nights we felt that the difficulty increased and there were harder enemies, some of them even strong enough to damage our walls defeating the purpose of building a wall in the first place.

---

We got tired of base building and fortifying it and decided to explore more. We went back to the coast and started exploring. A big tree was standing there with something buried next to it but that required explosives to be unearthed.

---

Our goal was to find the missing passengers and get out of there (?). But this was not easy at all. Everywhere you go, those guys are patrolling and trying to kill you.

---

Even the graves had pictures... so who could have dug these graves here? Were there more people trapped here before us? Did they manage to survive or get out of here using boats? A lot of unanswered questions in this game but the horror elements are powerful. Nights are especially scary and the sound design is so effective.

Their screams and laughs are enough to send shivers down your spine. There are a lot of caves in the game that we initially skipped because we felt like we were underequipped. There is a lot to find out and explore in this bizarre place.
