Rune Factory 2 vs The Endless Forest
Rune Factory 2
Rune Factory 2 is more like a combination of a farm simulation/RPG and The Sims mainly because you can actually have children in the game and you can then switch character and play as your child instead. This sort of multigenerational storyline is unheard of in the gaming world! The game also provides players with a whole new story set in Alvarna that has been hit by multiple earthquakes with unknown origins in recent days. Not to mention, the tension between the evil Sechs Empire and the Kingdom of Norad have gradually been escalating and the peace that was so difficult to obtain may be shattered in a matter of days.With so many problems to content with, a farm to grow and adventures to embark on, Rune Factory is a game that offers plenty of stuff for you to do as well as multiple paths and endings which grant the game impressive replayability.
The Endless Forest
The Endless Forest isn't exactly a game but more of a playable screensaver. When your computer goes to sleep, this program will run and your deer character will then appear in a seemingly endless forest. There's no objective or quests for you to complete here. Instead, you are given total freedom to explore the forest and if you're lucky, you may discover something special along the way.However, this is about to change because the developer behind this screensaver program decided to turn it into a full-blown MMO, allowing players from all over the world interact and play together as deers. There's no chat box in the game and instead, you'll need to learn to communicate as deers do, that is through sound and body movement. There will also be more places for you to explore, besides the endless forest, as well as fun and relaxing activities to do.
You can still download the screensaver version of The Endless Forest is you want to get an idea of what the game would be about - It's completely free, after all, but if you want to play the actual game, you might need to wait a bit since the game's still under development.
