The Forest is a first-person horror game currently in development for the PC and Oculus Rift. After surviving a plane crash at the outset of the game, players must build and thrive in a mysterious forest, scavenging materials throughout the day and defending against an indigenous enemy by night.

Developer Ben Falcone promises changing weather and tides that shift with the day/night cycle. Players will have to chop down trees to build and make fires, scavenge food or plant seeds to grow, while traps will be necessary to maintain a safe perimeter and defend the home. On the game's about page, the nocturnal ne'er-do-wells are described as "a clan of genetic mutant enemies that have beliefs, families and morals."

The Forest is tentatively scheduled to launch in late 2013, and is now vying for a spot on Steam Greenlight.

Certainly looks like one to watch , another good game available end of year.
There's now quite a few really decent games in development for the Rift , Which is really great to see and here
Two great games successfully backed on kickstarter already,one about to meet its goal, and one almost ready for launch.
And what is nice to see is the chose , exploration , FPS , Si-Fi , Horror , Adult , recreational the list goes on .
The content thats coming from mainstream development is great too.
Problem is its all gonna come at once ,towards the end of 2013 we are all going to be hit by all these wonderful titles , new releases and backed projects
Well maybe thats not a problem after all.

For some reason I love survival games, though there's not that many out there. The first really good one I played was Survival (Stranded) Kids on the Game boy in 1999. I love outdoor survival in real life as well.

So to hear about a survival game being released with Rift support, as well as looking great and having horror elements, that's just awesome!

Awesome. Can't wait!

This is another one with tons of potential. Exactly the type of stuff that will work great on the Rift.

Whats with the white android things attacking? Looked good up until there. Probably based on "The Cave" movie. I really hated that.
