Dip the brush directly into the paint up to 1/3 of the length of the bristles. This stops the brush from being overloaded with paint and prevents dripping. Tap both sides of the brush lightly against the side of the can or pail. This loads the paint more on the interior of the brush. With a slimmer profile, Wonder Forest watercolour brushes are comfortable to hold and allow for even better brush control. One Set For Everything With a set of 6 premium quality brushes, you’ll have every size you’ll need for all of your projects without the hefty price tag of individual brushes.

The paintbrush is an examinable story item often found in conjunction with buckets of red paint.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

The paint is used by the Red Man, and the brush is assumed to be his method of applying the paint. This implies a level of sophistication beyond a cannibal, hinting that the Red Man is not a regular cannibal but someone who domesticated the cannibals. It can be found in multiple locations across the Peninsula, though it is much more infrequently found than red paint. It is only found in caves.

Known Locations[edit | edit source]

Cave 2 - Hanging Cave, in the Hidden Stash Room
Cave 7 - Chasm Cave, on the way down to the bottom of the cave

Update history[edit | edit source]

The Red Paint is a special item that can be worn by the player, similar to mud. It was added as a decoration in update v0.45, though made a use-able in update v0.49 in The Forest.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Currently, red paint is contained in open paint buckets, and can be found in several locations on the Peninsula. It is often accompanied by a paintbrush. Once picked up, the player will automatically wear it. The cannibals, upon witnessing the player wearing the red paint, can act in a passive manner (though they can still become hostile upon attack). Their interactions with the player consists of: following and staring at him; stepping back if the player tries to approach them; some will even kneel and pray at him as if was some sort of sacred being, or other divine entity that has significant value to the cannibal people. Red paint can have an effect on all cannibals in the area, causing them all to kneel. However, if the player starts attacking, the cannibals will become hostile again. Additionally, kneeling cannibals will rise up after a short while if not killed, and will again become hostile, or will keep kneeling once they get up. Pales will just stay kneeling sometimes. Mutants are unaffected.

Note: The red paint will be removed with rain or if the player starts to swim in any water source.

Locations[edit | edit source]

Red Paint can be found:

- in one of the cannibal longhouses overlooking the ocean.

- in one of the River longhouses with slides into the water.

- near the Main Village.

- against the cliff wall in the Fertile Lands.

- in Cave 7 - Chasm Cave, as the player enters the climbing entrance and continues to the waterfall room, the paint will be found on a ledge on the way down to the bottom of the cave.

- within the Cave 2 - Hanging Cave at the same room as the modern axe.

- Multiple can be found in the Sahara Laboratory.

Background[edit | edit source]

It is theorized that the Sahara company, in their research lab, used fear-conditioning with their patients, who later became the cannibals. This can be evidenced by a number of things.

1. The entry hallway to Sahara is bright red all the way through, with red walls and floors.
2. The secure doors that the player cannot enter, throughout the facility, are bright red.
3. The red paint induces a passive, non-hostile state in the cannibals, who will sit and kneel, or at the very least, back away.
4. Dr. Cross knows to use Red Paint to induce the passive state in the cannibals.
5. Red paint can be located all over the island, notably in three different large cannibal camps.

Because of all of this, it can be deduced that Sahara fear-conditioned red into the cannibals, making them associate the color with pain or death or something else unpleasant, or perhaps something pleasant such as rewards for kneeling instantly. This was done to better control the cannibals, as they grew into larger and larger numbers due to the increasing extensiveness of Sahara's tests. Dr. Cross uses the red paint because he used to work at the lab and knew this. The buckets around the peninsula were put there either by him for easy access at all times, or perhaps by Sahara employees a while ago so they could safely traverse the peninsula.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

• After the plane crash, Dr. Cross can be seen wearing the same red paint (the red man), though his does not wear off, as evidence shows him being red still while on the yacht surrounded by water.
