The opening scenes from Endling: Extinction is Forever are confronting.

All of them are woefully unprepared for what comes next. She manages to limp her way to a cave where she collapses, birthing four little cubs. Later, as she attempts to navigate her way down a cliff, a moose races through the haze with its antlers on fire, startling the vixen who falls and injures herself. The smoke is suffocating as she begins to dig beneath a fallen tree, searching for a way out. Amongst the carnage, a fox streaks through the foliage, frantically trying to find safety. While its minimum system requirements can be a bit steep, the game itself is challenging but poignant-making you care about nature and the various life forms that are affected when we’re not careful with how we take care of our planet.Red and yellow flames lick the sky and engulf the forest.

Life is fragileĪll in all, Endling - Extinction is Forever is a lovely and evocative adventure game about current pressing issues we’re facing today. The game is available on PC and most modern gaming consoles. Take note that the minimum requirements for this include 64-bit systems and 8GB RAM. However, that element just adds to the challenge. The gameplay isn’t always easy since your kits eventually follow you with their lagging AI. There are times that you can choose low or high platforms, though-especially when you’re trying to hide from danger. Most of the time, you just move forward and back, interact with something, and either succeed or fail. These all seem like daunting tasks, so the side-scroller aspect of the game makes things a little bit easier to handle.

The game has you hunting for food every day, scouting new temporary shelters, guiding your kits, and avoiding various dangers as you try to track down your missing child. Unfortunately, you must also still care for and protect your other growing kits. When one of them gets kidnapped from your home, you are forced to track him down while surviving the rapid decline of the forests and rivers. In Endling - Extinction is Forever, you play as the last mother fox on Earth who currently has four young kits in need of food, shelter, and life training.
