This is rather lovely, more a social experiment than a game.

You are a stag, a male deer. So are the other players. You meet each other in an endless forest on the internet. The setting is idyllic, the atmosphere peaceful. You communicate with one another through sounds and body language.
The Endless Forest is a social screensaver, a virtual place where you can play with your friends. When your computer goes to sleep you appear as a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. You just steer your deer through the forest and see what happens.

Deer don't talk. Humans do. Especially in online games. And they make a mess of it. Slang and internet shorthand quickly destroy any illusion that the authors had crafted. No such thing in The Endless Forest. Deer don't talk. This is why your name is not a word. But a pictogram. A pictogram in an invented language of which nobody knows the pronunciation.
The controls are a bit borked for me though. Neither the mouse nor keyboard will allow me to move and I was forced to use my gamepad. Seems to work for others though. Hrm.

i dont get it...where's the epix?!??
Wow, you must have LIMITLESS free-time to waste. What the fuck, you can;t find ANYTHING to do?
Neopet accounts don't expire, doofus.
No does on the internet, then?You are a stag, a male deer. So are the other players. You meet each other in an endless forest on the internet.
Apparently it`s part of their story and they want you to have antlers. Does do have small antlers though dont they...No does on the internet, then?
This is pretty demanding for a screensaver. The only way I can get any kind of decent framerate is to turn everything down. Which leaves me with a hovering stag who inhabits a barren wasteland devoid of all vegetation.
Yum...I love venison
fucking furries
Awesome. It'll probably run like ass on my computer, but it looks like an intriguing little experiment.
Remember to turn off the joystick (controller) in the options if you won't use it. The game will ignore keyboard and most mouse input otherwise.
I heard of this back in January when me and a friend relentlessly mocked it over an ICQ conversation.
While I rather like the idea of exploring gaming concepts that are less goal-based and more zenlike, this sounds terribly boring.
Not to mention that the human faces on the deer are fucking creepy.

But yeah, this will be a furry-fest. Only time I've every wanted to play an animal in a video game was Primal Rage. Hmmm... echoes of Bambi vs Godzilla.
Furry fest for animals with human faces on them? You might want to rethink that.

You might want to consider that you just attempted to apply logic to a fetish.
As punishment, you must now Google Image Search "yiff".
Dude, that would probably pull up Uncia's homepage.
I am willing to bet good money that this game turns into a furry fest.
I'm curious, but I'm at work. Probably just as well...
If you have a DS, you should try Electroplankton. Zenlike describes it pretty well.
This thing's weird! I've never seen anything like it!When i first tried it out, everything was pretty normal, apart from turning into a Frog when you enter some water. Later on, i saw this sexy looking Gothic Deer, who had large frilly black eye lashes, and Bat wings!
I decided to flirt with this Deer and we spent ages just messing around and dancing, along with some weird music! Not long after, we were distracted by a Giant Deer, who had some magical powers, being able to spawn odd stuff, hither and dither! All the other Deers were impressed and followed the Giant around. Having also followed him, and losing the Gothic Deer in the process,
i just watched him do all these crazy things like spawn bolts of lightning and other stuff.
Not long afterwards, i got in with a crowd and started to do my dance routine, next thing i know, they're all at it, then this great Disco ball appeared!
Not long after that, Windows kept popping up messages about the Virtual Memory being too low so i had to quit.
I was strangely addicted to this for some reason!
Apparently I give you too much credit.
Thank you for pointing this out. It crashed my computer - like a power failure: typical knack in the speaker, black screen and reboot. I won't touch it again.
Oh, and I hate the chopped off faces.
I was actually interested in giving this a look until I saw a few screens of those faces. That's some creepy shit happening there. If the whole idea is to be a deer anyway, then why the hell wouldn't they just give everyone normal-looking deer faces?
