How to Install

Important: The Forest uses Steam Cloud by default. Disable it before replacing your save, or your new files may be overwritten on next launch. Back up your existing save folder first.

Close Steam and The Forest completely.

In Steam, right-click The Forest → Properties → General → disable Steam Cloud.

Navigate to %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\TheForest\Saves\ (paste into Windows Explorer).

Backup your existing save folder by copying it to your desktop.

Download and extract the .zip file, then copy the save folder into the Saves directory, replacing the existing one.

Launch The Forest and load the included save from the main menu.

Your base, caves, and story progress load in fully explored, with Virginia befriended and the survival guide complete.

Two endings explained: The Forest has two distinct endings depending on choices made in the final cave sequence involving Timmy. This save is positioned just before that choice so you can experience either ending on demand, with everything else — caves, bunkers, Virginia, crafting — already fully explored.

About The Forest

The Forest is a survival horror game developed by Endnight Games, released into full 1.0 in April 2018 after several years in Early Access. After a plane crash strands the player (and their son) on a mysterious peninsula, they must build shelter, craft tools, and survive against a population of cannibalistic mutants while unraveling the island's underground horror.

Base building is central to the experience, with a deep construction system spanning simple lean-tos to elaborate multi-story fortresses, alongside a crafting tree covering weapons, traps, and armor. The cave and bunker network beneath the island holds the game's story content and its scarcest resources, encouraging deep spelunking runs backed up by flares and molotovs.

The game's slow-burn companion system — building trust with the mutant Virginia — became one of its most memorable emergent features. Endnight followed up with a prequel, Sons of the Forest, in 2024, expanding the same survival-horror formula with new mechanics.
