The Endless Forest vs Until Dawn
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.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
