The Forest Intro Spoiler (notes)
🕑 Added 2017-07-17 04:43:03 +0000 UTC If you don't like spoilers this isn't for you. Stop reading now = ) This may or may not be the opening monologue for The Forest story but I thought I'd share what I have so far with you fine folks = ) The length is just about what it should be...."I'd like to tell you that I'm some survival tough guy...someone who spends his weekends in the wilderness, wiping his butt with moss after crapping in the dirt like that guy... the man with his son on his arm. But the truth is this flight is the first time that I've been without hand-sanitizer in longer than I care to remember. Damn TSA patted me down and found it... I can't believe he was watching Twighlight Zone (impressed chuckle). I like Rod Serling as much as the next guy but I wouldn't have the balls to watch that episode up there. Before takeoff the stewardess made an announcement, "at his request we will allow this gentleman to be left anonymous but I'd at least like to inform you all that we have a celebrity on board!... (crowd cheers and sound fades back to monologue). I recognized him from the in-flight commercial pre-movie. No.. I'm not him. I'm just some schlub with a name no more recognizable to you than it would be to anyone at my high-school reunion. I just sort of blend in with my surroundings I guess.
You want to see what I look like? sure... but look fast... I barely remember what I look like these days... one moment (pause for crash process to begin).... wait for it (say loudly over plane sounds)... there!.... did you see that guy flying out of the plane? Yeah... that was me. I have no clue how I survived the crash no matter only acquiring some cuts and scrapes. The worst part of it all was when I hit my head on some woman's face while being ejected. I'm not entirely sure but I think I may have killed her. I try not to think about it.
I woke up in the bushes when I heard the survival guy screaming like an angry Tarzan for "Timmy" (play in plane rummaging noises in this near distance). I'm guessing that's his sons name. He ran off into the woods with what looked like an axe in his hand yelling, "I'll find you! Timmy call out if you hear me! I'll kill him if he hurts you!". I'm not sure what that last bit was all about. Perhaps he hit his head on some poor woman's face, too and loosened some screws in the old nogging. Me? I just sat in the bushes a short distance from the plane...dazed... chewing on blueberries from the bush that I was in. Munching on them like a tub of popcorn I purchased at the movie theater (chuckle). At some point I must have passed out because the next thing I recall was the sun rising. That was a hell of a few days..." (monologue ends. begin gameplay here in episode one. flash all kinds of cannibal images on screen and cut to title. intro over.)
