In The Forest, you are a 'lone-survivor' of a plane crash. You crash in the middle of the forest and have to try to survive as long as possible. You do this by making things, exploring, and, in some cases, fighting to survive.
To play The Forest, you must not be faint-hearted. The game is a 'first person horror survival game', so when you play this with a VR headset, it's extra scary. Luckily, you can also just play it online with friends, so that makes it a lot less scary!
