We tried hard to represent all this in the game, although most of these topics are not part of the game plot, at least they are in the background for any player to discover them.īeing the last of your species is a great responsibility, but one that doesn’t come with a great power.

You are right indeed, things look very grim. With all that data, we created a word cloud and some of the biggest words were: Climate change, droughts, floods, garbage, polluted groundwater, electronic wastes, mass extinction, unemployment, crime, violence, environmental degradation, collapsing capitalism, poverty, mass protests, global warming, climate refugees, migrants. What is the cause of this situation in the game and what is the extent of the damage on the planet?ĭuring the conception phase of Endling, we researched quite a bit and gathered a lot of predictions based on scientific facts about how human society and our own planet may be if we keep doing what we do right now. So, if even foxes are going extinct in the world of Endling, we can only imagine how grim things might be.

Red foxes are one of the animal species who can successfully live in urban areas. In Endling, players take control of the very last adult red fox on Earth. We interviewed Javier Ramello, co-founder of Herobeat Studios, to learn more about Endling. This a very timely game, as it touches upon a topic that is the forefront of current environmental concerns: the human-caused Holocene extinction. As its name implies, the game tells the story of the last known survivors of a species. Endling – Extinction is Forever is an upcoming multi-platform game developed by Herobeat Studios and published by HandyGames.
