Forest

## Overview

This cage features a Forest inhabited by common animals at daytime and not-so-common ones at nighttime.

## Activity

* 18:00 transition to nighttime begins;
* 19:45 the cage gets too dark to see without night vision;
* 20:30 hunting club goes offline;
* 22:15 alarm will sound indicating activity;
* 0:00 activity ends;
* 6:00 the cage gets light enough to see without night vision.

## Walkthrough

1. Make notes of everything obvious (the coordinates, rabbit, squirrel);
2. Proowl the coordinates to learn the location (needed for the observation study) as well as hunters keyword;
3. Enable night vision between 22:00 and midnight to reveal trihorn deer;
4. Proowl hunters + trihorn deer to find an article about a local hunting club and their website;
5. You can ChatMeGo the club and let them know about your finding; they will request proof which may be obtained by recording the cage when the deer are visible;
6. The night after the proof is provided, the club will hunt the deer down; you may record the slaughter and send it to Shock.Tv;
7. The club will contact you at 11:00 the next day and send you the cage's collectible; you will also get an achievement once you receive the item.

## Shock.Tv reaction

Sending a recording of the slaughter to Shock.Tv nets $70 and the following reply (the slaughter will occur at around 10:30pm):

`Based on our sex and violence scale, we have rated your video as:

**AVERAGE**. Our audience always enjoys a mix of blood and firearms. Too bad they're only deer, though...

Therefore, it will be broadcast on our next program. We have just transferred a payment to you corresponding to the value of the video.
Thank you for collaborating with Shock.Tv.`

Sending any other recording of this cage gets the standard reply.

## Trivia

* This cage is referred to as "Deer Esther" in Fictiorama source files which is a nod to Dear Esther videogame.
* There is at least one report of spotting a fox which has not been confirmed.
* Barrett County's coordinates (20.9876 45.7687) map to a random location in As-Sulayyil governorate of Riyadh province of Saudi Arabia. Apart from a couple small towns, gas stations, and the Al Sulayyil ballistic missile base some 34 km to south-west there isn't much of interest around.

* A few bugs may occur in this cage, including three eye-like dots sitting still at night which disappear in night vision, or deer seen in daylight at night.
