The commands are simple to understand and laid out in a way that's comfortable, without ever getting in the way of the onscreen activity. This bond is mirrored by other relationships you discover in the game, as well as the duality of innocence and hope in contrast to guilt and despair.Īs intense as the story in Endling is, the gameplay is anything but. Getting caught and killed by the crazed furrier, for example, sends a chill down your spine as the realization hits of the fate that presumably awaits your cubs. That's what makes it all the more intense when things go wrong. As you move though the remnants of the world with your cubs, watching them grow and learn, adapting to the environment they were born into, you can't help but get emotionally invested in their safety. The game's story is both beautiful and bleak, heartwarming and heartbreaking.
As the mother of the last generation of foxes on the planet, it's not only your family's survival at stake, but the survival of your entire species. Endling – Extinction is Forever spotlights this and amplifies it against the backdrop of a global ecological disaster. Being a parent can be rough, especially in the animal kingdom.
