What is The Forest?

The Forest is an open-world, survival-horror, base-building, and exploration game from indie developer Endnight Games initially released in 2014. The game provides up to eight-person cooperative multiplayer, so players don't have to go it alone. The story of The Forest begins with a father and son on a plane when it suddenly crashes on an isolated peninsula. The main character, Eric, apparently a wilderness expert, wakes up from the crash to realize that he is the only survivor and that Timmy has been kidnapped by a mysterious man covered in red. 

As fans of the game already, know, The Forest turns into a harrowing tale about surviving the horrors of a cannibal-infested wilderness by any means necessary, but also about rescuing Timmy. When the player finally finds him, they might be saddened to learn that he's dead. 

The player character is then given two options. Neither are good, and both relate to the game's themes in interesting ways.

The Ending of The Forest

The most obvious answer for most people, and arguably the more interesting ending to Endnight's The Forest, is to bring Timmy back to life. After exploring the wilderness and asserting dominance over the cannibals, the player will discover the hidden Sahara Therapeutics laboratory that's hidden away on the peninsula. According to in-game clues and documents, the medical research company conducted medical research with the help of the ancient artifacts found on the peninsula in order to bring the dead back to life.

The player eventually discovers Timmy inside one of these artifacts, deceased. After removing his body, he attaches Timmy to Sahara Therapeutics' high-tech medical platform that can bring him back to life. The attempt fails and it becomes clear that Eric will need a "live sample" for the "interchange." 

The player soon meets Megan, a mutant girl, who was the subject of a resurrection herself. It was Megan's father who kidnapped Timmy in the beginning of the game, planning to sacrifice him in exchange for her resurrection.
