The overwhelming urge for fox-related puns is strong when given the opportunity however the important news is HandyGames and Herobeat Studios’ award-winning survival simulation game is now out for iOS and Android. 

Originally released on PC and consoles in July of 2022, Endling – Extinction is Forever is a story about the life-or-death struggles of the last fox family on Earth. 

Endling takes place in a plausible near future. Humankind has altered the biosphere to the degree that makes it harder and harder to sustain animal and plant life. Even humans struggle to breathe. In this horrendous quasi-apocalyptic scenario, you take control of the last mother fox in this dying world. 

You are now fighting for survival, not only your own but the survival of your cute, clumsy cubs who depend on their mother to bring them food. 

With over 96 per cent positive reviews on Steam, and reviewers stating the game brought them to tears, it’s easy to see why the game has won several awards and been nominated for further accolades. 

The trailer’s art style is stunning and immediately sets it apart from other third-person vulpine games such as The First Tree (which I adore) and the haunting violin notes in the music makes me think that I soon will be joining the ranks of those who cried. My eyes just leak like that sometimes, okay? 

Freshly released on mobile gaming platforms, this 1:1 premium port features everything the PC and console versions offer complete with controller support as well as touch support and customizable UI and cloud save. 

So prepare to explore devastated environments based on current, factual issues; hunt other animals to feed your cubs and avoid becoming prey; find new shelters to be safe from natural and unnatural threats; care for your kits, feed them, and teach them new skills to make them less vulnerable. 

On top of all of that, get ready for the feels as you put your survival instincts to the test and get involved in some emotionally-taxing decisions. 

Sign me the fox up.
