Substantially heavier than the original. We size and build it by hand for each order.
Order it like any other server. One of us sets it up, checks it, and hands over the same console, files and backups every server gets.
What it is
Sons of the Forest is a survival horror video game developed by Endnight Games and published by Newnight.

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Sons of the Forest. Faded bars run it with room to spare. Greyed plans sit outside its range. Player counts are what the plan carries, not a benchmark of this game.
How busy it is
Sons of the Forest against the other survival games.
Peak concurrent players on Steam, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale against each other, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

What players say
Sons of the Forest, in the words of people who play it.
Three reviews from Steam, picked by how many other players found them helpful. About the game, not about us, unedited, and linked so you can check.
Solid survival mechanics, exploring the island and fighting the locals is fun. Story is kinda whatever but the building mechanics are surprisingly good. Also there's my boy Kelvin <3
