The story itself is really nice, the controls can be a bit clunky at times. And the achievements, at least for me, have been bugged for a long time. So if you want to JUST play the game for the story, go for it when it's on sale, but just be aware that you may not be able to 100% the achievements.

Just like Shelter One, and Two... IT'S AMAZING! The soundtrack, the story, the game play, the art style, etc IS AMAZING. All of Might and Delights games are incredible, and worth the money. Thank you for creating a story for Inna, the original lynx mother from Shelter Two. Thank you for developing amazing games.

Short but pleasant experience. I've been playing the shelter games ever since I was a kid. I finally picked up Paws today and tried it out! The art style and soundtrack is immaculate as all the shelter games are! The story is short but bittersweet, one that all shelter/animal fans should experience!

I just seen this in my library and I got so many memories, this game is truly heart touching and really explores how many types of sad and love you can feel in such a small amount of time.
