About 99 Nights in the Forest
99 Nights in the Forest is a co-op Roblox survival game where you and up to four others try to outlast the forest. By day you chop trees, hunt animals for meat and explore deeper for better loot; by night a Deer monster hunts anyone outside your campfire's protective circle. The campfire is everything - you feed it wood, coal and gasoline to upgrade it and keep its safe circle strong, and a flashlight is your only way to fend the Deer off. Survive, upgrade your camp, and push toward day 100.
- Team up with 1-5 players and survive the forest by day and the Deer monster by night.
- Your campfire's circle blocks the Deer - feed it wood, coal and gasoline to upgrade it to level 3 and beyond.
- The Deer is invulnerable; shine your flashlight at it to make it retreat temporarily.
- Chop trees, hunt animals for meat, go deeper for better loot, and optionally rescue the four missing kids.
How to level up fast in 99 Nights in the Forest
Your first job every game is the campfire - chop wood and feed it to at least level 3 before nightfall, and do not wander far on the first night. During the day, gather wood, fuel and food and push a little deeper each time since deeper forest has better loot; at night, stay inside the fire's circle and use your flashlight to make the Deer retreat if it closes in. Split roles with your team (wood, fuel, food, scrap), upgrade your crafting table, and only attempt the optional rescue of the four missing kids once your camp is strong.
