There’s no dialogue, so you only experience this world’s downfall, as humans populate, build, and destroy it, as a fox that can’t do much to stop that downward spiral. It is never subtle with its themes, but it doesn’t need to be. The world is constantly changing in Endling: Extinction is Forever, and you can feel it, even as a fox. You see people in the area ruining the environment before turning against each other and nearly being wiped out. In Digital Trends’ Stray review, we noted that the game “delivers a socially conscious sci-fi narrative” and has a “clear environmentalist streak, for instance, digging into how humanity is poisoning itself out of existence.” Endling: Extinction is Forever tackles the same topic but shines a greater spotlight on letting the player see the downfall play out. While Endling: Extinction is Forever is more tense and high stakes, it’s thematically similar to Stray.
The game does an excellent job of putting you in the mindset of this miserable animal that just wants it and its cubs to survive while the world around it is doing everything to kill them. The furry hunters roam the map, keeping you on your toes, and food appears somewhat randomly, so you aren’t guaranteed to get fed from the same spot every day. Areas that were once safe will have instant-kill guard dogs, making treks for food longer. The routes you explore constantly evolve as the game progresses, not just visually but in the obstacles you encounter. Your three remaining cubs can die in some situations, too, so the survival aspect of Endling: Extinction is Forever is emphasized just as much as the exploration of this ever-evolving map. You’ll scavenge for food, teach your cubs how to dig, climb, and more as you encounter new obstacles, and learn more about the megacorp ruining what was once a lush area rife with wildlife. One of your four cubs is kidnapped by a hunter at the start of the adventure, and from there, you explore with your three remaining cubs by your side.
It’s a memorable start to the adventure, and the struggles only continue from there. She gives birth to four cubs, which you can customize with different colors and fur features. She’s knocked off a cliff by a dying moose, almost hit by a car, and hides in a small cave. You play as a mother fox, running through a burning forest at the beginning of the game.
