The Endless Forest Goes Public

By Shane | May 2, 2008

In an unostentatious way, The Endless Forest is an online multiplayer gathering where you play the role of a deer and interact with other deer while mating, crying, sleeping, urinating et cetera. Yes you read that correct - you’re not a Warlock, Elf or Warrior, just customized stags . The ‘game’ which can also be left on as a screensaver, has been kicking around since 2005, but has just now officially went public. We’ve mentioned the intriguing, and non-competitive free roaming forest gathering in the past, and it’s nice to see how far it has come, with over 200,000 downloads and 25,000 registered users.

Created by Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn in Gent, Belgium. Tale of Tales - Endless Forest manifested in response to a commission from a museum -the Musée d’Art Moderne in Luxemburg (Mudam), who still host the server.
