The Forest

Main Quest Update

For whom this is made for

People who like hunting, exploring and additionally collect souvenirs.

Players who like to be disoriented in the wilderness, desparately searching for

You can play it as a regular player too. Just bear in mind that there

4. A basic mini quest and some lore.

8. New BGM (See credit section)

Settlements (V. 5)

Since V. 5. 0 there are six settlement l
