Talking Ben the Dog vs The Endless Forest
Talking Ben the Dog
Talking Ben the Dog follows the success of Outfit7's other talking pet simulators by present you with a wisen old dog named Ben who happens to be a retired chemistry professor to keep as a pet. Being the old dog that he is, you'll really need to bother him a lot before he will stop whatever he is doing - probably reading the day's newspaper in his favorite armchair - and pay attention to you. You can then talk to him, pester him with pokes, good-humored slaps and tickles, or eve have a phone coversation with him.As he is a chemistry professor, you can have fun doing all sorts of fun and incredible chemistry experiments with Ben if you can get him to his little chem lab. Best yet, you can record your hilarious interactions with him and share them with your friends!
Talking Ben the Dog may not exactly be the usual sort of cute, adorable and possibly hyperactive virtual pet that many games often provide, and it is this stark difference that had helped this game rocket into fame. After all, there isn't a lot of game where you can keep an old virtual pet as opposed to the many that let you keep a young pet.
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.
