Emily is Away vs The Endless Forest
Emily is Away
Emily is Away is a story-driven, text-based game that's uniquely set in a chat messenger app and has online dating as its theme. In this game, after choosing an icon for your profile, you'll be chatting with a virtual person called Emily in order to get to know her better and possible build a closer relationship with her. The game is not at all the mushy romantic stories that you might be expecting. Instead, the game has multiple endings that aren't all positive.There isn't a lot of realistic romance stories out there, but Emily is Away not only manages start a whole new precendence but also to nail it on the head. If you enjoy a good story where you get to play the "most eligible bachelor" in the game, then Emily is Away is a great game to play.
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.
