Yes, 'The Forest' is based on a true story. The developers were intrigued by the concept of survival in an isolated and unforgiving environment. The true story roots might lie in various real - life incidents of plane crashes or shipwrecks where survivors had to rely on their instincts and meager resources to stay alive. In the game, we see a similar situation where the player character has to deal with building shelters, finding food, and defending against cannibalistic mutants, which is an extreme take on real - life survival challenges.

Yes, Forest Gump is loosely inspired by real events and people. The character's experiences touch on various historical moments and social issues of the time.
