Thank You!
Endling – Extinction is Forever has been out there for a while now, and your feedback and reviews have been overwhelming! Thank you all so much. Creating and selling games is a business first and foremost. This is no secret. Yes, we're in it because it is our passion, but we believe in calling a spade a spade. We're a company, and companies need to turn a profit.
However, on a personal level, I, writing this, and every single one of my friends and colleagues at HandyGames, Herobeat Studios, and all our partners, get most excited about all the wonderful reactions from you, the players.
What drives us is people connecting with the game. These connections always happen on an emotional level. Be it the feeling of accomplishment for beating a difficult stage, good old fun times with friends, or, in the case of Endling – Extinction is Forever, hopelessness and heartache in the face of the overwhelming odds our fox family has to overcome.
For this, we want to say: Thank you!
Thank you for laughing, crying, hoping, and despairing with us. It means more than you might imagine.
If you want to talk about your experience with this or any of our other games, please feel free to reach out. Steam reviews are always welcome, but you can also hop on our Discord or join our Inside HandyGames live show on Twitch or YouTube every other week to get to know us on a more personal level and ask us anything you'd like to know.
Until then, thank you for your time and hard-earned money spent on our games!
Have a fantastic day!

Through the Darkest of Times Teaches Wartime History!
Through the Darkest of Times is exhibited at the Imperial War Museums in London, on display from September 30 to May 28! Under the motto "War Games," games are shown that address human conflicts and thematically sensitize us to them. Also part of the exhibition are numerous exclusive projects, a playable Retro Gaming Zone, and other additional events.
The critical examination of the time of National Socialism and the Second World War is, of course, part of this exhibition and is enriched by a valuable exhibit, Through the Darkest of Times. A unique aspect of our game is that a resistance group must be formed and led, which does not change the course of history but helps the player be more mindful and better understand the context of that time.
