To their traps and also to their garbage. We face, therefore, not only natural hazards, such as birds of prey that can kidnap our young also to human beings who seek to make us one last skin. We sleep during the day, avoiding the danger of human beings who continue to deforest and contaminate the last remnants of nature. As an animal, our needs are not as complex as other games in the genre: we need to eat and sleep. That is the main mechanic of Herobeat’s work.Įndling translates all of this into a simple, yet effective system. Our goal then can not be other than to survive. Endling is a cold, faceless emotional wrecking ball, even though she sometimes personifies evil in some characters who, after all that has happened on the planet, still reserve a special place for evil. It is a disheartening message, but no less real for that. That within every being that drives you to continue living, even if nothing matters anymore. But here the message is clear: “Extinction is forever.” After passing the point of no return, there is only the flight forward. We tend to think that there is always a degree of hope, perhaps because stories, whether in video game format or not, tend to do so. The subtitle itself helps reinforce this message. To do this, you have to know that the English term endling means exactly that: the last being of a species that will become extinct when it dies. If you play Endling directly, from its perspective of a mother fox caring for her litter, you don’t have to know that you’re the last of your kind.
