Endling was a very surprising find. It was short, an easy 1-2 hour plat, but the story was great. Not only that, the art style, sound, and general atmosphere of the whole game really took it up a notch. It may have only been 1-2 hours, but it was an immersive experience as a survival simulator. I wish there was more to this game to be frank, it was great but I just want more. The setting of a time limit per day to explore limits how much the player can discover, and without a guide to fully show them where everything is, the player may be more forced to play a second time instead of choosing out of their own free will, which can dampen the opinion on it.

The ending is the real killer here, in a good way. A Bambi-esque end, heartbreaking but overall necessary to carry the games point over. Move over, Prey, Endling is coming through.
