Game

"The Forest" meets "Honey, I shrunk the kids". That's all you need to know!

Okay, so play as four kids that have been shrunken and are now trying to survive in a backyard. Obsidian has created a beautiful game with a playful feeling to it. Craft, build, explore and survive in a jungle of grass, mud and sand. Find food and clean water. Establish a base and try to find out how to become your regular sized selves again. Or just be creative and build your own little town.

Content was the big issue at launch. The campaign was short and the story went nowhere. That has been fixed. The finished game has a real story with an ending, a lot more to build, and a backyard big enough to get properly lost in.

Co-op

You play as one of four pre-defined kids that have been shrunken. Help each other finding food and water, build a base together and flourish.

Extra score for the crossplay between PC and Xbox, minus for the forced Xbox Live account when playing on Steam.
