Plague Inc vs The Endless Forest
Plague Inc
Plague Inc is a disease simulation game where you play as the mad geneticist and villian who is hell-bend on creating a disease that's as lethal as possible... with the main goal of wiping out the entire human population across the globe. The game was insanely popular a few years ago mainly due to the moral dilemma that players who enjoy this game experience, but partly because the game's incredibly unique. It features a wide variety of pathogens like viruses, fungi, bacteria, and even prions that you can modify right down to its molecular level so that you can create the ultimate species-killing plague. The game even has (obviously fake) news reports within the game telling you how well your biological weapon of mass destruction is doing and what the authorities in various countries are responding to the threat.In many ways, Plague Inc doesn't only make its players realize how fragile humanity is; it also somewhat functions as a fun educational tool to let the masses learn about certain scientific terms and how to differentiate between the many types of disease-carrying vectors. So, if you happen to be feeling a bit villainous, you might want to try Plague Inc. Who knows? You may even learn a new thing or two after playing the game!
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.
