Sons of the Forest’s Kelvin is taking the internet by storm

Survival isn’t always for the fittest or smartest.

At long last, Sons of the Forest has released in early access – and everyone is falling for the loveable oddity that is Kelvin.

If you’re unfamiliar with Sons of the Forest, it’s a multiplayer survival video game where players have to, well, survive on a deserted island – oh, and there are mutant cannibals hunting you. This highly-anticipated sequel to The Forest is so popular that its early access launch took Steam down last week. 

Survival is a group effort here, and a particular character named Kelvin is always eager to help. After an unfortunate helicopter crash, Kelvin sustains severe head trauma – enough that he can no longer speak or hear anything. Luckily enough, he can still take orders from you through written notes. Need someone to gather sticks and twigs for a makeshift shelter? Kelvin is your guy.

The trouble is Kelvin makes some questionable choices. For example, let’s say you need lumber for a tree fort – Kelvin will help, but loves to cut down the tree you’re building on. It’s frustrating, but who can stay mad when this awkward buffoon gives you a thumbs-up after accidentally destroying your shelter? Nobody.

Social media is currently overflowing with clips of Kelvin’s escapades, not to mention posts gushing about his ridiculous behavior. As such, we’ve gathered the best stuff for your viewing pleasure below.
