And Then John Was a Zombie | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: The fate of Edward Puffton and his wife, who are special mutants who serve as a mid-game mini-boss, and his guests who all spontaneously turning into creepy mutants during the dining room incident. Virginia is also mutated but retains most of her humanity. Also happens to Zhang at the end of the game. He is locked out of the golden cube when you, Timmy, Kelvin, and optionally Virginia hide inside. When the door opens again, he appears to have turned into a giant blob of flesh with his human head hanging upside down from the ceiling. | |

Cool Old Guy | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: Eric Leblanc appears very briefly in the game, now in his 60's at minimum. He shows up with a shotgun to save you and Timmy from a giant mutant, though he takes a bullet in the shoulder from Zhang and his mercs, and is out of action for the rest of the game, only showing up at the end with a helicopter to evacuate your surviving party. | |

Construction Is Awesome | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_1a89d143 | comment |
Construction Is Awesome: Invoked by the game's new building mechanic, which (outside of a handful of premade structures) involves constructing buildings and fortifications log-by-log, stone-by-stone. It's slower and more tedious than in the first game, but structures can be a lot more complex, and the end result is arguably much more satisfying. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: There's two endings, based on one decision you make at the end of the game. Here named after the achievements you get when you make the decision. "Fought Demons" Ending: Get through the final bunker and the lava caves at the end, and get on the helicopter with Timmy and Eric. "Fight Demons" Ending: Same as "Fought Demons", but instead of getting on the helicopter, you go back towards your backpack, letting Timmy and Eric leave, while you stay on the island. You also get an achievement called "Keep Your Friends Close" if you've befriended Virginia and kept her and Kelvin alive. If you get on the helicopter, they will join you as you escape the island. The full 1.0 release changes the "Fight Demons" ending slightly to requireall the Artifact pieces to stay on the island, as a horde of mutants will swarm the rescue helicopters and you need the Artifact to wipe them out long enough to stay behind. The full 1.0 release also adds a Where Are They Now ending segment for each surviving character; Timmy's mutation gets even worse after exposure to the Cube, and his only hope is that the Solafite he found on the island can somehow help cure him (he gets better in the credits due to actually finding a cure using the Solafite). Kelvin ends up in a brain injury recovery ward due to his serious brain damage, having regressed to a child-like state, where he is visited by the player. The player also accompanies a worried Virginia into a surgery ward where her extra limbs are to be removed. If both Virginia and Kelvin survived, a extra epilogue taking place 5 months later shows the two of them accompanying the player for a drive along a coastal highway, with Virginia being pregnant. | |

| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_2905964a | comment |
Manual Leader, A.I. Party: You start out accompanied by Kelvin, the only other survivor from your mercenary team, and can later be joined by Virginia if you befriend her. Kelvin can be ordered to perform various tasks such as gathering building materials or constructing simple structures, but can't participate in combat due to his head trauma. Virginia can defend herself skillfully with a pistol or shotgun if given one, but you have much less control over her than Kelvin. | |

Revolvers Are Just Better | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_2a195285 | comment |
Revolvers Are Just Better: A Chiappa Rhino revolver can be found in an out-of-the-way bunker. It's more powerful than the standard pistol, dealing about 50% more damage while using the same 9mm ammo, but only holds 6 rounds and can't accept attachments like the flashlight, laser sight, or silencer. The revolver is used by most plot NPCs and features prominently in a few cutscenes. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: While still very much a Survival Horror game, Sons of the Forest has a greater emphasis on combat than its predecessor — enemies are more common and more aggressive, and the player character is an experienced mercenary rather than a Papa Wolf Action Survivor, with access to more powerful tools and weapons, including firearms and compact vehicles. | |

Hellish Copter: Kelvin and the player arrive on the island via a helicopter crash. At the end of the game the first helicopter sent to rescue you gets taken down by Zhang's mutated form, and he uses the wreckage as a club when fighting you. In the full 1.0 release, the ending is slightly changedso that the police send two helicopters to rescue you and your pals after you kill the final boss. However, the second helicopter gets destroyed by a swarm of mutants that attacks you during your escape. | |

| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: A rival team of mercenaries led by a man in a silver jumpsuit (revealed in a Puffcorp computer file to be a Sahara Therapeutics double agent named Jianyu Zhang) is active on the island and hostile to your group, but you never encounter them in actual gameplay, as they only appear in cutscenes, and only briefly each time. After Update 7, Zhang's mutated form appears at the very end of the game during the helicopter escape as the Final Boss. | |

Edward and Barbara Puffton appear in a mid-game Dual Boss fight as a pair of special blind mutants. They're considerably tougher than normal blind mutants, who are already noticeably tougher than the cannibals. Their stats seem to be on pair with the tougher, glowing blue blind mutants. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars: Timmy's scar has actually healed over the years, enough that it's now a healed crease above his eye rather than the large gash across his entire face that it was several years ago when we last saw him. As the game has minimal dialogue, the scar is the only way to identify Timmy and realize he's the kid from the previous game. | |

Action Survivor | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_53407671 | comment |
Action Survivor: Downplayed in comparison to the first game. Eric Leblanc was a Papa Wolf and veteran outdoorsman, but otherwise a completely normal citizen thrust into a nightmarish survival situation. In contrast, the main character of Sons is an experienced and highly trained mercenary belonging to an outfit of Private Military Contractors, who can find and readily use firearms and put up a much better fight against the horrors of the island. The full 1.0 release reveals that your character, Jack Holt, is not actually a professional merc but rather an embedded journalist who went on the mission due to being one of a limited number of people that Edward Puffton trusted. | |

Redshirt Army: By the time you and Kelvin come about, your Hired Guns comrades have all been wiped out and can be found scattered around the map having been killed in a variety of horrific ways. The 3-man team who were in the other helicopter are marked by GPS locators on your GPS map. There are also a few dozen additional dead Puffcorp mercs found across the island who were apparently part of another expedition which was sent in a month prior to your team. A number of dead Sahara mercs are also found in camps across the island, having recently died fighting the mutants while searching it. | |

Almost Dead Guy: The full 1.0 release adds almost dead Puffcorp mercs signaling for help with flares in some areas which previous had only dead Puffcorp mercs. They die from their injuries as soon as you approach them, and mostly serve to mark points of interest (such as the merc camps where you can obtain the machete or modern axe) from a distance. | |

Sequel Hook: During the end credits, newspaper articles indicate thatTimmy was able to cure his condition using the Solafite he found on the island, and used this "miracle cure" to build his own pharmaceuticals empire. He ends up purchasing a newly discovered island with the largest deposits of solafite known. After starting development on the island, Timmy goes missing when all contact with the island is lost, starting the cycle all over again. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
The shotgun's buckshot shells have had their pellet count reduced by half, reducing its damage per shot. The spread has been made slightly tighter to partially compensate. The changes to containers (see below) also means you'll find a lot less buckshot ammo in general, potentially rendering the shotgun Too Awesome to Use. Fortunately, ammo for the pistol is still common enough that you can use it reasonably regularly if you know where to find 9mm ammo. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: If you want Kelvin to "gather logs", make sure he's far enough away from your structures that he won't accidentally drop a tree on them. The pathfinding for Kelvin and Virginia struggles a bit around player-built structures, especially when locked doors come into play. Kelvin also refuses to cross any water deeper than his ankles, instead taking the long way around instead. The full 1.0 release does somewhat improve their pathfinding, so that they can now reliably move around player-built walls instead of trying to walk through them infinitely. | |

Abandoned Camp Ruins: Various camp ruins from seemingly local campers and hunters, to previous camps by the cannibals, to ancient ruined settlements from the 1970's, can be found scattered around the island. | |

Final Boss | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
A much larger and more durable Demon, accompanied by a couple of regular Demons, serves as a Final Boss of sorts, appearing in the large arena-like cave just before the passageway leading to the Cube and the end of the game. Whether this is the intended Final Boss of the game or just a Early Access placeholder until a more unique and/or plot relevant boss enemy can be implemented remains to be seen. It's also a Skippable Boss in that you can just run past it and head straight for the Cube, which is what Timmy seems to have done since he's already there ahead of you. A later update has Timmy fight the boss and get wedged into the exit at the start of the fight, forcing you to kill the boss to proceed. Update 7 has Jianyu Zhang's mutated form show up and stop your helicopter escape, serving as the game's actual Final Boss. | |

King Mook | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_baaf641a | comment |
King Mook: Edward and Barbara Puffton appear in a mid-game Dual Boss fight as a pair of special blind mutants. They're considerably tougher than normal blind mutants, who are already noticeably tougher than the cannibals. Their stats seem to be on pair with the tougher, glowing blue blind mutants. A much larger and more durable Demon, accompanied by a couple of regular Demons, serves as a Final Boss of sorts, appearing in the large arena-like cave just before the passageway leading to the Cube and the end of the game. Whether this is the intended Final Boss of the game or just a Early Access placeholder until a more unique and/or plot relevant boss enemy can be implemented remains to be seen.

Next Sunday A.D. | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_ce68d46b | comment |
Next Sunday A.D.: Although the exact year is obscured in-game, Sons of the Forest takes place about 2-3 decades after the first game, which seems to have been set in the present day (or at least, what was the present in 2013). The game has no sci-fi future technology (at least, not originating from human civilization), and the few "futuristic" technologies seen (your lighter is an electric plasma lighter and 3D printers can be found in some bunkers) are all things that exist in the present day, albeit not yet widely adopted. | |

Take Your Time | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: You learn that some kind of emission occurs on the island every "8 cycles" which mutates everything on it (implied to be the result of some kind of multi-dimensional instability), and the only safe location on the island is an alien artifact "panic room" known as the Cube, which becomes your endgame goal. Conveniently, the emission doesn't occur until you actually enter the Cube, no matter how long it takes you to find it. As it happens, you land on the island exactly 7 months after the last emission, and 1 month of in-game time is roughly how long it will probably take to finish the game. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: While there aren't as many climbing ropes in this game compared to the first one, running out of stamina while using a rope doesn't drop the player. The Rope Gun and zipline system grants several: For starters, the motor in the gun allows the player to go up ziplines. Additionally, players can send logs along the zipline, and if the end of the zipline is over a Log Holder, it will automatically drop into the holder and be stored. As of the patch introducing them, hitting an object while riding the Knight V motorized unicycle does not harm the player, merely knocks them down. Enemies nearby may take advantage, however... Instead of having abandoned tents in the caves, players can collect tarps and make their own tents anywhere in a cave to function as a save point. Kelvin can't be set on fire by campfires, which is good since his A.I. often flakes and causes him to stand in the middle of one. However, this also applies to enemies, so you can't use campfires as traps against the cannibals like in the first game. However, in the full 1.0 release he now takes damage from standing in fire. On Normal difficulty, the first hit an enemy lands on you will do minimal damage, even if they're a tougher, high-damage enemy like the blue Puffies. This insures you won't lose most of your health or armor from a single surprise attack, which happen quite often. | |

Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: Several enemies do not get along. Tribes will compete and attack each other, and none of the cannibals like the mutants when they appear. Beyond being able to lure one group to another, some cannibal camps have a mutant tied to a stake nearby. Cutting them loose can (and does) cause quite a bit of havoc. | |

Nerf | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: A few in the full 1.0 release; The shotgun's buckshot shells have had their pellet count reduced by half, reducing its damage per shot. The spread has been made slightly tighter to partially compensate. The changes to containers (see below) also means you'll find a lot less buckshot ammo in general, potentially rendering the shotgun Too Awesome to Use. Fortunately, ammo for the pistol is still common enough that you can use it reasonably regularly if you know where to find 9mm ammo. Containers no longer respawn their contents after loading a saved game, similar to the first game. The amount of Rope Gun grappling hooks you can carry has been significantly reduced, to reduce the player's ability to use it to get out-of-bounds. In the 1.0 release you can only carry half as many frag grenades as you originally could. Also, the change to containers makes crafted explosives harder to make, since a few of their ingredients (batteries and especially circuit boards) generally only appear in containers. One helpful Nerf is the fact mutant babies can now be killed with 1 hit from any weapon, whereas they previously required 2 stone arrow hits to kill. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Sons of the Forest (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: There's nothing stopping you from murdering Kelvin and Virginia if you'd rather have a completely solo experience. When you kill a cannibal, another cannibal, usually a relative of the victim, will go up to the corpse and mourn it. Male cannibals kneel down and gently caress their dead kin, while female cannibals let out a heartrending anguished wail as they mourn their dead. Nothing stops you from killing these mourning cannibals and looting them for bones, however. | |
