Our episode this week is all about The Forest, a game officially released in 2018 from Endnight Games. This is a survival horror game, where you play as a plane crash survivor on a forested peninsula (shocker), on a mission to find your son. We talk about the beginning of Lost, building bases, pescatarian lizards, getting lost in caves to the point where you almost rage quit the game, jet packs, and morally dubious endings.
