About
What's your favorite color? Would you eat meatballs for the rest of your life? Are dogs really that cute?
Live the perfect day, break the cycle, and discover the truth about yourself in ENDLING, a short, quirky sci-fi mystery about freedom, choice, and loneliness.
Life is full of hard questions and difficult choices—but who says exploring them can't be fun?
Watch as each new day brings more questions and curious changes. Marvel as your surroundings twist and turn to accommodate your every wish. But how—and to what end?
This quizzical first-person game will have you wondering, guessing, contemplating—but it will take an inquisitive mind and a fondness for reckless destruction to really get to the bottom of things.
Inspired by other story-driven, short-form games, ENDLING features not only a mind-boggling, soul-searching story, but also home-thrashing excellence and unparalleled high-octane beach ball action.
Originally released in 2021, this school-project-turned-indie-hit finally makes its Steam debut, featuring a slew of exciting improvements including:
Enhanced graphics and lightning
Upgraded UI, audio, and subtitles
Better stuff-breaking physics
A ton of puzzling achievements
Bug fixes of every magnitude
And more!
Best of all, ENDLING is still free to keep and play! We want everyone to have the chance to live the perfect day—over, and over again!

Выживание в постапокалиптическом мире от лица последнего представителя своего вида: игрок заботится о потомстве, ищет ресурсы, избегает опасностей и исследует опустошённую планету. Акцент на эмоциональной связи с детёнышами, тактике выживания и раскрытии истории через окружение. Плюсы: сильная эмоциональная составляющая — забота о детёнышах и их реакция на действия игрока создают глубокую личную вовлечённость; атмосферный постапокалипсис — безлюдные пейзажи, руины цивилизации и приглушённая палитра передают ощущение утраты и одиночества; исследование мира — каждая локация хранит фрагменты истории катастрофы, раскрываемые через визуальные детали и находки. Минусы: ограниченные ресурсы — нехватка еды и безопасных мест может привести к потере детёнышей, что вызывает сильное разочарование; монотонность задач — повторяющиеся циклы поиска пищи и укрытия иногда снижают темп и динамику игры; слабая система подсказок — новички могут долго разбираться в механиках выживания без чётких ориентиров. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам симуляторов выживания и атмосферных историй — впечатляет эмоциональной связью с потомством, гнетущей атмосферой постапокалипсиса и способом повествования через окружение. Может разочаровать из‑за жёстких условий выживания с риском потери детёнышей, повторяемости повседневных задач и недостатка обучающих элементов.

A bit sad of a twist but I like it.
A short, free game where you walk around, what looks like an IKEA warehouse, guided by your future friend. On your way through the house you make a few choices, shatters a few plates, vases, PC monitors and what not, bounces a beach ball, and maybe a few other things. Interesting short game.
Games like this are why indie developers are soooooo much better than the big studios. Endling's a somewhat short game: you wake up in a room, a mysterious voice keeps asking you questions, and the game changes based on your answers. Figure out what's going on & why. I can't say anymore without giving everything away, but SF fans and astronomy/NASA lovers will love this. :)
Good game. I knew something was up when I saw the golden disk upon waking up. That uncanny valley feeling. It is nice to pretend that I have a nice clean home in the woods though. People should make more games like this. Reminded me of a game called What Remains of Edith Finch. Choices and a world that changes based on them, <3 narrative games.

Nice little walker. I didn't expect the ending, for once! It's free, so why not check it out?
The game bugged out, and I had to start from scratch. I finished the walking simulator, I recommend to avoid.
Unfortunately the game has so many bugs, at a point where it is nearly unplayable. The worst one is being stuck in a constant walking animation. I tried several solutions (restarting the game, unplugging my keyboard), but none of it has worked...
it feels like a game my 10 year old can make. i jumped in expecting an actual "game" instead its a slow walking simulator + answering 5 questions. i feel scammed, this couldve been a form. i dont know feels so useless it shouldnt even be considered a game.
