An agonising deep-dive the strange game that is The Forest. Notable because it added a mystery narrative to a survival game. A genre that very rarely does that. The result is fairly unusual... Chapters: 0:00 - The survival genre 7:10 - Subnautica introduction 20:39 - The Forest introduction 25:24 - The Forest's weird logic 1 36:12 - Effigies, camps and cannibals 43:14 - The caves 46:35 - See-saw of quality 1 52:11 - The mutants 56:22 - Comparisons to Subnautica 1:00:42 - See-saw of quality 2 1:04:41 - Rituals, Katana and skulls 1:07:55 - The problem of scale 1:21:21 - The Christians 1:29:58 - The Sacrifice Doors and Red Man. 1:35:39 - See-saw of quality is screwing up the mystery 1:50:53 - Sahara Corp 1:55:44 - The finale 2:14:42 - My wall of questions 2:29:08 - The "real" plot 2:35:12 - The realisation 3:03:12 - The importance of planning Patreon for those inclined.
