The Forest

StreamerHouse explored the cannibalistic peninsula with 311 peak viewers throughout 2023, five years after The Forest's triumphant exit from early access in April 2018. After spending four years in Steam Early Access, Endnight Games delivered a complete survival horror experience that sold over 5.3 million copies by November 2018. The streams perfectly captured the game's genius duality: spend your days peacefully crafting your dream forest base, then spend your nights in pure terror as mutant cannibals with disturbingly human behaviors hunt you down. That 311-viewer peak showed the community's love for a game that balanced base-building zen with horror that made you question whether you should engage the enemies or just hide. StreamerHouse audiences watched streamers venture into the vast cave networks, chop down entire forests, and occasionally get absolutely demolished by the enemy AI that IGN praised as genuinely terrifying.
