I downloaded The Endless Forest, after researching experimental games, and reading about one of Tale of Tales' projects in a magazine.

I expected TEF to be interesting, what with it's focus on communication through animal gestures, and free gameplay... But I never expected to be this enchanted, and entranced by the Forest, and the wonderful deer inside.

I've played other multiplayer online games, and to be honest - they irritate me terribly. Players are often ignorant, and are only in it for themselves. However, with the Forest it's a completely different story. There's a real sense of family between deers. Even deer I have never met nod their head in respect, when greeting myself and others, and entertain the fawns by casting spells generously.

It's something I've never seen in a game before - this sense of community, and support of eachother, and I am really impressed.

I don't know how often I'll update this blog, but for now I'm going to end it by saying this.

Thank you Tale of Tales, for creating such a superb game, and thank you for the players for making my first experience of the Forest what it has been. While the Forest would be impressive, no matter who is playing in it - I feel that the welcoming I've observed in game, and in this community is what makes it that bit more special.
