• Survival Horror Simulation: You have the freedom to face the world however you want. There are no NPCs giving you orders or imposing missions. You make the decisions and ensure your survival.
• Fighting Creatures: In the world of Sons of the Forest, nowhere is safe. You have to fight against mutant creatures. Some of the mutated creatures are almost human-like, but others are completely changed. You have to arm yourself with pistols, axes, stun batons and other things.
• Building and crafting: Gathering resources and building a secure base is also an important part of surviving on the island in Sons of the Forest.
• Changing Seasons: There are changing seasons in Sons of the Forest. While you can catch fresh salmon straight from the rivers in spring and summer, you need to be proactive in gathering and storing meat for the cold winter months.
• Note that you are not alone on the island. When winter comes and food and resources become scarce, you’re not the only one looking for a meal.
• Co-op Gameplay: In Sons of the Forest you can play alone or with friends. You can share your items and resources with each other and support each other in exploring the island or building defenses.
