Sons of the Forest has been around for days and has already become one of the most popular games. The survival horror video game was developed by Endnight Games and published by Newnight. Besides, it is the sequel to the 2014 video game The Forest, which is why it has a large fan base. A new update launched a while ago, which is a small hotfix for a few issues that have come up over the weekend. The patch notes of Sons of the Forest Hotfix 2 patch notes.
Sons of the Forest Hotfix 2 (Update) Patch Notes

Similarly to The Forest, Sons of the Forest puts players in control of a protagonist stranded on an island inhabited by cannibals. Players can build weapons and buildings to aid in their survival. New to the game are friendly NPCs. One is a companion named Kelvin, who is deaf and unable to speak. Players can give Kelvin written commands on a piece of paper to help with simple tasks such as collecting crafting resources or setting up fires.
