survive while waiting for a rescue. Endnight Games&#8217; Mick Solomon mentioned in an interview with Eurogamer that the game was inspired by classic films &#8220;The Descent&#8221; and &#8220;Cannibal Holocaust&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The game pits players on their own in a lush forest, tasked with eking a living out of the environment. You need to chop down trees to make firewood and build your safehouse, you need to hunt for food and you need to collect weapons. Come night, you have to survive against an onslaught of what appears to be undead beings. Scary, undead beings.<\/p>\n<p>The Forest recently had a successful Steam Greenlight campaign and an Alpha version of the game is poised to be released in late 2013 with Oculus Rift support as a beta feature.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4qTtVMM3uqQ\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KwImGYR2rwg\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a title=\"Survive The Forest official website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.survivetheforest.com\" target=\"_blank\">Survive The Forest<\/a>, <a title=\"The Forest on Steam Greenlight\" href=\"http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=143803558\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Greenlight<\/a>, <a title=\"First-person open-world survival horror game The Forest looks brilliant \" href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\" target=\"_blank\">Engadget<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Gaming news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/60077-free-to-play-world-of-warcraft.html\">Free-to-play World of Warcraft?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/60071-warcraft-movie-details-concept-art.html\">WarCraft movie details, concept art<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/60056-heroes-of-the-storm-detailed-at-blizzcon.html\">Heroes of the Storm detailed at BlizzCon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/60052-call-of-duty-game-confirmed-for-2014.html\">Call of Duty game confirmed for 2014<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Forest, an ambitious indie survival horror is shaping up well, and it will feature Oculus Rift support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":60102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[31,11697,6564,11698,333,11696,85,5577,10426,6870,11695],"class_list":["post-60101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-active","tag-endnight-games","tag-greenlight","tag-king-kong","tag-minecraft","tag-sks-games","tag-steam","tag-steam-greenlight","tag-survival","tag-survival-horror","tag-the-forest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60142,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60101\/revisions\/60142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
