Sons of the Forest, the new survival game on Steam Early Access, starts with a fiery helicopter crash — but it doesn’t always play out the same way from there.
Sons of the Forest starts in the same way as many other horror games. Our protagonist sits in a helicopter, musing over his mission briefing. There are other copters to the side, and our hero is joined by a squad of equipped professionals. The player gets access to the protagonist and peruses his laptop.
Once the character has checked out the billionaire family he needs to rescue and closed his laptop, everything goes straight to hell. But the opening has an interesting twist — there are multiple ways that the chaos can play out, and it’s tied to your starting location.
