I remember playing this game with the boys. We had so much fun screaming, laughing, jumpscares. We all fought an armsy with weak spears. Finding the lab killing Megan was the best thing I ever done now its just all gone but the music really hits deep when you are done with the game and playing alone. Good times😔
Same happened to me When u hop on the game by urself the music hits different.....I also miss playing with the boys , Waiting for the Sons of the forest to come out.
this game is sad.. think, as this guy discovers these human eating natives and mutants, that moment when he thinks about his son and what probably happened to him.. pretty depressing
I joined a random multiplayer and me and a German kid beat it in one real day (6 in game days). This was only because he was already on day ten and he showed me the ropes to harvesting mutants and creepy armour. Guess some friendships are destiny.
This game has come such a long way. If you look at it when it was first released to what it is now, you will be so impressed. These developers really know what they're doing. Most competent early access devs I have had the pleasure of giving money to. Release is going to be within the next year or so, I can feel it.
Im never getting off this island, ive been stuck here for 182 days ive tried , i have seen horrors unimaginable, all my friends drug off and eaten... right in front of me, i have neraly been eaten myself twice, i have mutilated humans to survive, i have burned human flesh to stay warm more than once, i fear these... mutants have taken my humanity from me, i will die on this island, i dont know how, i dont know when, but for there crimes i will take as many down with me as i can. I tried and i failed. The forest cannot be escaped. Even if you get off the island, you cant escape the forest.
Sometimes i open the game just to hear this epic song. It is relaxing and horrific at the same time. Great composition. It just fits to the game. On one hand you're on a wonderful island, surrounded by natures beauty, full with great landscapes. But on the other hand, everyday, you face death and try to survive on this island. Whether you'll die by starving, freezing or by normal health issues or you'll die in the hands of the camibalistic natives of the island.
When ever I listen to this I feel so alone and sad but I feel safe as if the island will peotect me and care for me I even try and sometimes succeed in making friends with the tribes and become one You cannot leave the forest it is your home and your protecter
0:00 - 1:01 sounds like the initial wonder & fear of having to survive on the island alone 1:02 - 1:36 sounds like you’re getting closer to finding timmy & you have hope 1:37 - 2:12 sounds like when you find timmy & bring him back 2:13 - 2:46 sounds like when you come off the island together, but the forest still haunts you both because of timmy’s condition 2:46 - 3:09 sounds like older timmy’s readying himself to go back to the forest on a different island & continue the work his father started
I am not joking when I say this game is the only one that genuinely scared the crap out of me when I first played it. That was an insane adrenaline rush. Absolutely loved it.
Miss this, when waiting for days for new updates, the only game that I truly loved and made me feel incredibly happy by playing it with it's mysteries. Now it's all just memory which will be left always in my and my best friend's head forever 😞🥹
this is nostalic. my brohter played the game a lot around the 1.0 Release and i speed 2 whole days watching him play and watch a lets play over the years multible times of the same guy. this game and the music made so many memories for me and my brother thank you Gabe.❤️
Beautiful pieces Gabe, the piano is remarkably simple but SO, SO well done. it can strike such a lonely cord, but with a beautiful horror at the same time. many emotions in this piece, very, very versatile.
I've been waiting for Sons of the Forest since 2019 when it was announced. Many things happened in my life these years but I can finally say I will play this game tomorrow.
I still come here in 2021, just to listen to this and remember all the times I had played with my friends who are now gone: we didn't realise we were making memories, we were just having fun.. And yet this song also offers me a sort of consolation for the fact that as people come and go, we should enjoy life and accept ourselves since we're the only ones that never leave. So I would like to thank every hard moment I felt and lived through, every heartbreak, everytime I wanted to give up but didn't, because not only they made me the person I am now, but in the future will also improve me even further.
of course man.Imagine you were dumped in an island l.your son is dead your home far far away.never will you see your loved ones.Suronded by canibals.great point
Imagine this song, with this story "As you walk to the toster, but your too late and your toast gets burned..you sadly walk over to the bin and throw it away as one single tear falls down your face"
Fuck man, there MUST be somebody out there who played this game with a friend and someday he passed away. Many years later he opens this game again just to hear that song. It must feel horrendous
There are songs that, really change you're vision of how life is, for a few minutes... Reminds you memories... And so many emotional things at the same time.. this song is one of these songs.. But when you look far,( maybe i looked too far ) you can feel some " no hope " background in this song, something like this.
1:52 is where I imagine a lone survivor on an island falling to his knees; The intense loneliness and hopelessness of his situation finally getting to him as he bursts into uncontrollable tears and pleads to God for some sort of mercy.
I didn't think listening to this would bring back so many thoughts and memories, it's just one of those songs that somehow found its own place in my heart without me knowing. Thank you Endnight and thank you Gabe Castro!
@gabe Castro you really knocked it out of the park. This title theme really paints a picture of what this game is all about. I herd this song before I even knew what the game was about and right off the back I just felt this emotion of "something terrible has happened and I am not sure if I am gonna make it out because there is something or someone watching me who wants me dead" and me being late to the party I finally play it and boom! Perfect match
I don't think that much people play it now but.... I've been playing this game for a total of 6 years now I never get bored. It's just that this game is masterpiece is my heart and it will never be forgotten even in my death I loved playing it Thanks End night for creating this game Appreciated ❤️
Me, my brother and my friend bought it on sale few weeks ago and we have so much fun with it. But there is also gonna be sons of the forest so we are gonna be waiting for that too :D
Me and my bro finished this game 2 years ago, last week we both decided to play it again, for old times sake. This game did not disappoint in bringing us both in for a warm hug from the sun hitting us, to a scare at night. This game back then let the little girl scream in me came out, and it still does, I don't know if it's because of the crazy speed of the mutants/cannibals or the crazy idea of my friend who places the artifact everywhere we go. The Forest brought the best out of both of us, we both can't wait for Sons of The Forest to fully release, we're both on Playstation and both hope it releases on our platforms. The Forest was both a nightmare and a dream, it was a journey from jumping down from the wrecked plane to building our first base, to killing Megan, from returning to civilization to staying on the island. The Forest, one of the most underrated survival/horror game ever made.
such a perfect theme for the game. it's calming, peaceful, and yet there are some sinister undertones. it suits the game so well, from the beautiful yet lonely environment to the terrifying yet sad mutants, it's fantastic
1:35 My favorite part. I know im a few years late but man, the music and the story is so good.. I just wanna see what Sons of The Forest is like, I hope you'll be the Music Composer on Sons of The Forest, Gabe.
If you somehow fell into this game before RU-vidrs spoiled everything, AND you completed the game yourself, then you were treated with one of the most wild, unexpected video game experiences ever. There are few games in gaming history that give you that first-time feel which can never again be replicated quite like The Forest. A masterpiece that left me craving so, so, so much more. SOTF doesn't seem to have that same 'spark', but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
I wonder why Gabe Castro didn't upload the tension music (for when cannibals are around) and fight music? It's very immersive and I'd love to listen to it outside of the game. Anyways, nice job on the soundtrack. Hope to hear more of your works soon.
oh my god i got chills, i remember playing this game i remember just sitting at the menu screen listening to this music because i always had to prep myself mentally before jumping into it, was so scared of hoping into my game and just seeing an armsy casually stroll by
The truth is captured very well the feeling that this song wants to deliver, it is fascinating, one of the best survival and horror games of its time, it will be remembered as a true legend.
I experienced a great tragedy 26.02.21... when I returned home the forest had booted up on its own with the title theme playing it filled the atmosphere like nothing ive ever experienced. I sat for 2 hours....still just listening and reflecting. A random and most unexpected beautiful moment in a time of chaos and pain. Thankyou
This song really makes me wonder what happened before my arrival on the forest.All those hanging dead bodies,research,experiments that failed miserably is just horrifying 💔
The desparation, lonelyness, mystery and day-by-day tiresome necessity for survival with nothing but hope in mind. And you just have to go and go and go..... Thats what i hear in this song. The sound ambient and songs here really are important and working part of this game. I was sold at the menu already.. That scene with this song. .... Finnaly some good mystery and horror game. And you sir are so talented. Not just professional.
The music in this game is phenomenal. It's bleeding with emotions, usually a feeling of loneliness, hopelessness, and spiritual pain. Like you have no will to go on, because if the one thing you love most in your life is already dead, why try at all?
Cray I’m 24 now, I remember 8th grade staying up Al night on the 1st day of school to stream this game for my 1st time. I’m sad I gave up on my dreams but it’s never to late . Life is lonely lately and I miss the old days , one day I’ll be appreciated and spread my success .
I recently came back to play The Forest again with the boys after a couple years ago when we played through the end game, never thought I'd touch it again. We're having such a good time. We made a nice, cozy base right atop the hills of Geese Lake, at this spot you realise how beautiful the game is. It's very relaxing thinking of new ideas for the base and then building them. Went exploring in all kinds of different caves, found new weapons and items to fend off the cannibals and mutants. We're on day 28 so far and there are mutants on the loose, I wonder if we can survive up till day 100. We're very excited for Sons of the Forest (The Forest 2).
This music reminds me first months after I bought this game I played more than 5 hours every day and I made new friends ,good friends , sadly after some months I lost all of those friends they have been offline in 5 years and I miss that time how I enjoyed to play this game.
Im pretty new to the forest and I recently started playing it with friends, and im so happy I started playing, this game takes a place in my heart now as one of my favorite games, it was so much fun running around being stupid with friends and just everything about the game was great.
You start a new game,by yourself,No one can save you,your trapped alone trying to find your son on a cannibal infested island. You get an axe,cut some trees down,make a base,kill animals. You then kill your first cannibal.That feeling.That sensation of power and rise. You then get more weapons and start getting armor. Your not afraid,you then go to the Cave where your son is. You get him but,you had to make a simple sacrifice… The forest is a really underrated survival game and I recommend it :) -DeniedCustom.
