Children of the Jungle is an upcoming survival horror game developed and published by Endnight Games, the creators of the popular survival game The Jungle. The sequel takes place in a new mysterious environment where players will face new enemies, challenges and puzzles.

In Children of the Forest, players take on the role of a lone survivor who crashes on a remote island. Players must explore the island, collect resources, and build shelter while avoiding the dangerous creatures that inhabit it. New enemies have appeared in the game, including mysterious humanoids and mutated creatures that are hostile to the player’s survival.

The game also introduces some new gameplay mechanics, such as underwater exploration and a day-night cycle, which affect how players interact with the environment and creatures. Crafting and building are also key aspects of the game, allowing players to create custom weapons and structures to help them survive and thrive on the island.

The game is set five years after the events in the forest, and players will follow them back to the island where the original game took place. Players must once again fight against the island’s cannibalistic inhabitants as well as a new threat known as the Children of the Forest.
