Rune Factory 4 vs The Endless Forest
Rune Factory 4
Rune Factory 4 is the latest installment (which came out 4 years ago) from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you can play as whoever you like, be it governing as a prince or a princess, a daring adventurer or a simple farmer. Cultivate the land and fill it with a wide variety of crops, go fishing, or fight monsters in the game's many trapped dungeons. Like the previous games, you can recruit local townsfolk and even befriended wild monsters to help you with your farm or even to join your adventuring team so you'll have some extra help when you're fighting hostile monsters. You can even fall in love, get married and have a virtual child of your own! With whole new adventures, storylines and characters, Rune Factory is designed to appeal to beginners and veterans of the game alike.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.
