Virtual animal games are available for the world now, giving everyone a different perspective on going on and exploring the world as a new creature that nobody would think to experience. It is more of a less freaky "Freaky Friday," where players get to experience what it is like to be an animal via games like "Stray" and "Endling: Extinction are Forever."
Virtual Animal Games: 'Stray,' 'Endling' Brings Realistic Experience
Two new games bring virtual animal experiences that are an in-depth take on what it's like to be beasts in the wild, focusing on going out to the world with a lot to fight for and lose. These games are "Stray" from BlueTwelve Studio and "Endling: Extinction are Forever" from Herobeat Studios, now available on gaming consoles worldwide.
"Stray" is a game that brings a person to the POV of cats, and they get to go around the place and solve a mystery as a feline creature after falling into the world of robots and machines. The game focuses on an adventure where they get to be the stray cat and return to the surface to get back to their old life.
On the other hand, "Endling: Extinction are Forever" brings the public to the POV of a fox that needs to protect its puppies and return to their "lair" safely.
These titles give gamers a different experience that takes the experience to a new height, focusing on an animal's perspective.
What's it Like to be Animals? Games Give Insight to It
According to The Verge, the two new games give insight into what it is like to be animals, and these titles provide the world with a more realistic experience from a fresh perspective. The games developed now bring a more in-depth take on the animal kingdom, offering the world a more profound view of their lives.
Simulation Games: How Far Has It Come?
Animal games in the gaming industry have come a long way for all, and it is because they came from simulation games where people primarily focus on an open environment or humans interacting with creatures. Previously, animal games mainly focused on educational features where they experience mostly borderline information rather than play as the critters.
Other titles that focus on animal games also bring simulation where they feel like they are these creatures roaming in the environment. However, it does not have any specific story or progress apart from exploring the world and learning different information.
Unlike its present, the best animal games do not focus much on a creature's legitimate experiences.
However, some focus on bringing the world a chance to get to know these animals more and see the world from their point of view, focusing on what's it like to be creatures in the wild. These two new games, "Stray" and "Endling," bring more to the public by presenting a unique experience that takes a deep dive into the animal kingdom and its correlation to the present world.
