March 2025
This game got me hooked on all Shelter titles! The art alone is enough to draw you in. When people say an indie game can change your life, I feel like they're referring to games like this. It's so simple, yet beautiful and tragic. You truly feel the hardships of being a single mother in a cruel and unforgiving world. You'll want to do everything in your power to protect your babies. The silent yet impactful story is what keeps you replaying. Although, I will admit, this game doesn't have as much replay value as some of the other titles, it's still a must-play!

First child disappeared in the night, the second got taken by fright, the third was drowned in the flood... But that wasn't true, she came back to us soon.! Sadly not long after, a bird of prey took her... Now only two of my children remained. I tried my best to feed them all, but in the end food themselves they become. Oh dear children who remain, I hope food and shelter will forever by your side remain.

Okay, so this 2-hour game about a few badgers roaming in the forest made me sob, so I guess it's worth it... Jokes aside, it's beautiful.
