Very peaceful formulaic gameplay with light story but simple and sweet. Can be repetitive the game is short enough that it doesn't drag on.

Really not what I expected at all - for some reason I thought this was going to be a zany psych-horror-comedy about a researcher being driven mad by squirrels, and instead it's actually a rather serious environmentalist thriller. Basically a much better Firewatch in some ways. The puzzle elements are rather unique, as you have to place video cameras during the day and study the footage at night, essentially making this a very unconventional detective game. I can understand why some might consider this mechanic rather finicky, but as someone who had messed around with amateur audio editing in the past I found that element rather well done - you do need a sense of perfectionism. To lightly touch upon a major spoiler, I can understand why some might be disappointed by the ending - I'm generally not a fan of open endings, especially in games which feature such deadpan social commentary as this - but I feel like it works here - the pro-conservation and anti-corruption themes are very much relevant right here, right now, a happy ending would be disingenuous and ruin the message of the game somewhat, while a bummer ending would just be fucking strange. About performance issues - I did suffer a rather surprising FPS drop on the Steam Deck, which surprised me, but I'm not someone who really cares about that kinda stuff - it's just kinda rare, especially for an indie title. I wouldn't try to run this on a potato laptop.

This game is fantastic, but I'd suggest waiting for a sale where it's priced under $10. Although it's short — I finished it in under two and a half hours — it's incredibly respectful of your time and never feels tedious. Overall, it offers a delightful experience with a fun concept, and cute squirrels.

This game has a somewhat melancholy but also heartwarming story. The surveillance mechanic, with you placing cameras and then watching their recordings to inform where you should put them next, is very well done.
