The Endless Forest Review

Posted: 9 months ago, last updated 7 months ago.

Overview

This is a whimsical online multiplayer game where you play deer in a peaceful forest. You freely explore ruins and ponds, and meet other players, communicating in symbols. The world is like a moving painting, but one that players have a strong sense of ownership over. An avid community of players have contributed to the game’s evolution, and a new version is in development.

You start as a fawn and in a little over a month your deer grows up and becomes a stag. The sorts of things you can do include exploring the forest, eating, drinking some water, sleeping under the trees. There are also social activities that deer commonly engage in, such as dancing, pool parties, hide and seek, and tag.

The game is being redeveloped for newer technology currently. With a crowdfunding project providing the funding to achieve this.
