Even in spite of the bugs this game is very well polished for a 0.01 alpha and it's well worth $15 just based on promise alone.

Am I doing something wrong? How do you make a compound without issue? Also why did I die to chopping my axe into a corpse or maybe a mutant snuck up on me with an arrow to the back?
It sounds like someone snuck up on you. Are you sure you died?

Is this a game one can play single player and still have a good time or is it really meant to be played multi?
Multiplayer isn't out yet, although the devs have plans for it. It's clear that this is going to be a really atmospheric and creepy game, so it will be best played alone.
Personally I'm just trying to ignore everything about it until it gets released for oculus rift, so most things will be new to me the next time I play.

Well now it ruins my joke when I look at his shadow and ominously whisper " I don't think he survived the crash".
Use spoiler tags next time you post the huge end-game reveal.

I hope the devs are working on a multiplayer release some time in the near future because I want to see this game compete with Day Z and Rust. The inventory and crafting are a huge improvement over the boxes and menus that clutter every other survival-crafting game. And it's just way better looking in general.

If it were up to me I'd just leave out all the spooky stuff until the beta or something. Make everyone believe they're just playing a nice peaceful survival game and then BLAM.

It seems like he only does multiplayer games though. The Forest desperately needs multiplayer.
