Sons of the Forest: Plot and Meaning, Theories

Also, I am now replaying the game and will translate absolutely all the documents in it. Soon this theory will be with all the evidence.

As many may have noticed from the passage of Sons Of The Forest that the island has a lot of all sorts of amenities for people. Swimming pool, spa, gallery, gym and more. What is this? Why is it on this island?

Everything is simple. Organization X (I didn't find the name of it) set up a recreation center (Or something similar) on the island in order to lure people to this island. For what it was necessary, I will write later.

They created all possible conditions for as many people as possible to come to the island. As evidence, we can find somewhere on the island a brochure with an invitation and all the amenities are listed there.

What were people for?

Throughout the map, we find documents about artifacts and reports on their research. Unfortunately, they are not in the player’s inventory and I can’t remember exactly what is said there, maybe I will add them in the future.

It seems to me that organization X was doing some kind of research on these artifacts (I'm not sure if it was research or there was some other reason, but I settled on this option for now) and for this they needed people to conduct experiments on them, which of course Well, it couldn't be done legally. For this org??ization X and created a recreation center (Or something similar) to lure people and without their knowledge to conduct experiments on them. I can say one thing, that SAHARA from the first part did the same, shooting down planes.

What experiments?

Finally, people began to come to the island. Play golf, use the spa, cafes and much more and everything would be fine...but...

As we can see from the surveillance footage in one of the rooms, which requires a key card to access, people just turned into mutants just like that. They just sat at the tables in the cafe and in a second they began to fall, wave their arms and turn into mutants. I want to note that these were not just video surveillance cameras, but cameras that were specially sent to one place. We see several angles of the same place on the monitors, so this was done on purpose and people were being watched....

What happened?

To answer, we will have to completely go through the game until the moment when we run into the mysterious cube.

Once again, unfortunately, before that we can find records about him in the caves, but for some reason they are not in the player’s inventory, there was something written about him, but I don’t remember what.

In general, what kind of cube is this? Actually, this was the main feature of the island. I agree, the ending is incomprehensible from the word COMPLETELY, where did the characters behind us come from? Who? What? Z??how??...

If you understand a little, then in principle everything falls into place. When we enter the cube, our companions run behind us and ... some other person (In my opinion, this was the main one in organization X, because it was he who knocked us out at the beginning of the game and shot at our friends)

So, he did not have time to run into the cube and that's what happened next ..

After that, we see how our Timmy is holding a laptop with a report, at the end of which something incredible happened ... at first glance, everything seems to be nonsense, but you just have to figure it out. The cube is a portal between universes .. you say .. what kind of nonsense?
And I will answer you. Then we see how one of the walls disappears and we see some kind of city, this is another universe. In the game we can find a book called "Parallel Universes".

It is unlikely that this was added just like that. This means that they really were interested and studied. Further, we are only interested in one detail, this is the output. We see how a mutant appeared near the cave through which we entered.

NOW ATTENTION, This is the person who did not have time to run into our cube!

The proof of this theory is the drawing on the wall, which we can find in the cave near the crashed helicopter. On it we see a cube and a person in it, and all those who were outside the cube experienced some kind of terrible torment.

What comes out of it? And the fact that ALL those who were not in the cube at the time of its activation turned intob mutants! To do this, Timmy had a timer to have time to run into the cube and not become a mutant. This explains the appearance of mutants on the island. Everything that happens next is of no interest to us.

Outcome

What do we get from all this? Organization X drew attention to the island and its oddities from the first part of the game. She finds a similar island, which also had some anomalies and the same artifacts (In the game we find reports about this and images of artifacts from the first part).

Organization X starts to explore these places in earnest, it draws attention to the fact that strange mutants live in the caves and begins to investigate them (We find the corpses of workers, special forces (Not us) and many other people who explored the caves before us) and suddenly they find the mysterious artifact "Cube", which has strange features.

(Actually, the translation is a little clumsy, the document says that when (During the first part) "Artifact 1" was found and Organization X simply sent a report about it, because they thought that the Cube was somehow connected with this artifact)

At a certain time, all those who are in an unknown radius around him turn into mutants.

They did not risk their people and did not make a research complex near the artifact (Like in the first part) because then everyone would become mutants, instead they created a special recreation center (?or something like that) near the artifact and began to call people there in order to conduct experiments ...

(It is not known at what point in time this happened, but organization X discovered that the Cube during its activation communicates with another universe and the organization begins to study this phenomenon)

A bunch of people begin to come to the island, relax and have fun ... but then at one moment the "Experiment began" and it did not go according to plan ...

All people in a special complex turn into mutants, but... as it turns out, the radius of the cube was too large and it captured not only the "Recreation Center", but also almost the entire island, including the part where the X organization was...

We are a special forces unit sent to the island in order to find missing people who went to the island to rest.

Flying up to the island, they release a lot of lead at us (i.e. shoot) and shoot down, so that we do not reveal all the secrets of the island. The "man in the white suit" hoped that the natives would kill us, like all the rest of our comrades who had been sent to this island before.

(The fact that we are not the first detachment that has visited this island, we can understand when in the very first scene we see an orange boat, in which a dead commando was already lying)

But we were not as simple as everyone else and survived. Next we meet Timmy and his father Eric.

Unfortunately, about themGENERALLY almost nothing is known! We see them only 2 times per game and then one at the end. Maybe it's Timmy and the main character of the first part, BUT THIS IS ONLY A SUSPICE!

It really turned out to be Timmy, we can understand this by his scar on his face, which he received in the first part, and the man next to him is his father, Eric (the main character of the last part). Thanks to American user Mr Jt (Gog is king), he helped me figure it out :)

They were also studying the "Anomalies" and flew to this island to uncover the truth (As evidence, you can provide the fact that a young friend had a laptop with a countdown to the artifact triggering)

After that, the leader of the X organization dies behind the walls of the cube at the end, and the game ends there.

There is an opinion on the net that billionaires came to the island to look at parallel universes, but then a lot of questions arise.

1. If they made such a complex in order to make excursions to parallel universes, then why didn’t they make a banal passage to the cube? How were they going to show them the universes then, if to get to them, you have to go through lava and terrible caves?
2. On the island and in the complex we see a bunch of suitcases, unless you fly in for a couple of days to look at a parallel universe, you will take a bunch of things with you and much more?
3. Please remember what I said about cameras.Why then send them to one place?
4. Why then is the complex needed a morgue? :/ (We find a gold mask there at the end of the game)
   
   I'm not saying that my theory is perfect, because. I'm missing some documents because I can't revisit them, but I personally think my theory sounds more plausible.
