Kelvin may have suffered brain damage, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming the most beloved companion in the world of video games. In the newly-released Early Access game, Sons of the Forest, Kelvin is an AI character who is always there to lend a helping hand to players.

While he may not be able to hear or speak, players can communicate with Kelvin via a notepad, which makes for some hilarious interactions. Some players have reported that Kelvin's behaviour can be quite strange at times, like when he starts chopping down the tree-house that you built instead of the free-standing trees. And watch out, because he has a habit of showing up out of nowhere and giving players a scare.

Despite all of his quirks, the Sons of the Forest community has fallen in love with Kelvin. They have even started protecting him like he's their own child. The developers, Endnight games, have big plans for Kelvin, including adding more tasks for him to do and giving him his own epilogue if players keep him alive.
