Endling wins best Social Impact category at the Apple Design Awards 2023

It’s been a few months since HandyGames and Herobeat Studios launched their critically acclaimed game, Endling – Extinction is Forever on Android and iOS. The title tells an emotionally riveting story about the last mother fox remaining on the planet and her struggle to keep the cubs alive. With numerous awards already under its belt, the game was further nominated at the Apple Design Awards.

Endling was a finalist in two categories at the Apple Design Awards and ultimately ended up winning the Social Impact category. It beat the likes of other popular titles like Duolingo, Sago Mini First Words, Hindsight, and Beecarbonize. This doesn’t come as a surprise because of Endling’s gut-wrenching story created using a distinctive art style and soothing soundtrack.

The game is stated to be set in a plausible universe because, with the way things are going, there’s a possibility that mankind may be faced with a similar situation. In Endling, the biosphere has been altered to such a degree that even plants and animals are finding it difficult to survive. It puts players in a quasi-apocalyptic scenario where a mother fox must fight for the survival of herself and her clumsy little cubs.

It is a sensitive subject matter, but it’s surely one that needs to be addressed. With the current technological revolution, a dystopian future may not remain fiction for too long. Endling hopes to raise awareness through its captivating experience and the Apple Design Award for Social Impact shows that it’s on the right track.
