The Forest

You are the last survivor after a plane crash on a supposedly deserted island. You’ll soon realize that you’re not alone. Native cannibals follow you, particularly when it’s dark. Get ready, collect resources, build a hut, and feed yourself regularly to survive.

How do I activate cheats?

How do I access my server as an admin?

In order to log in as an admin, you need to enter the following hidden command from the keyboard in the main menu of the game:
