'''''The Endless Forest''''' is an MMORPG for Windows where the player is a deer in a forest without goals or the ability to chat. Unique pictograms above registered deer's heads help to identify each individual. Players communicate with each other through sounds and body language. [[Better Than It Sounds|And that's all there is to it]]. You start the game as a fawn and play as one for 30 days before you mature into a stag. The entire time you run around in an [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|endless forest]] as a deer, rubbing against trees, braying/mooing, and emoting to other players. You can also [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|cast "forest magic" on each other]], which changes pelts, masks, and antlers.

The creators (also known for ''[[The Path]]'') get a lot of feedback for the through the official forums, though it only gets any major updates maybe once a year. The community is very dedicated to the game, even going so far as to create in-game legends such as the [[Punny Name|Deermuda Triangle]], a triangle formation of three glitched (duplicated) rocks in which strange things are supposed to happen.

And did we mention that all the deer have [[Nightmare Fuel|human faces]]?
