Not sure if anyone would care enough to read this, but I should at least give the community a heads up that a new fawn has awakened in the forest.
It all started when I was browsing through Deviantart and noticed a favorite artist had submitted a picture of a weird looking deer with a human-like face and mentioned a game called The Endless Forest. I had assumed it was a console or other pricey game that I wouldn't be able to afford at the moment and almost passed on looking up the game, but curiosity overwhelmed me and I decided to check it out. To my surprise, it was not only a PC downloadable but free as well! Now I was getting very curious but I remembered downloading and attempting to play A Slower Speed of Light, only that ended with the game crashing every time the beginning cutscene finished. Not yet deterred I downloaded the game anyway and played a bit while unregistered just to get a feel for the game.
First, the place was beautiful!
My default deer also moved smoothly (except for a moment of moonwalking
) and lag was minimal. Deciding that this seemed like an ok game I got a deer name and dove back in.
I had already read that I would be a fawn so no surprises there. There was a major difference between my test play and this one; the presence of other deer/players. During my test I didn't see other people but this time I was immediately near another player. Deciding to prioritize exploration over socialization I headed over to an odd stone formation, except there were a lot of deer there. Feeling shy, I remained quiet and just observed. Some sniffing, just to be polite, but with my bashfulness getting the better of me I ran off to explore more.
I quickly stumbled on some sort of... graveyard? (Apparently the Ename Ruin) Not sure why there was a graveyard here I decided to walk around and take a look. With no one around to see me, I jumped up on a piece of the ruin to act as my platform as I retried different actions.
