100% worth the purchase, this game is incredibly beautiful in story, soundtrack and scenery. I've completed all achievements and unlocked all skins, yet I still replay this game again and again. the world needs more animal games like this tbh

Oct. 2024

It's a nice game but only when You're not rushing, advantages: - visuals - beautiful soundtrack - interesting story - puzzles - atmospheric disadvantages: - no option to save the game - you have to finish a chapter that You started (which can take a while before You figure out all the puzzles) or get to some sort of checkpoint otherwise You're gonna loose the progress - underdeveloped - I got stuck once after being thrown up by a geyser and since there is no option to save the game I had to restart the chapter. - no map - it makes sence, afterall we're jut a fox but it takes a lot of time to figure out a new location. It has a vibe though - the game is short. You can finish it in less than 10 hours, maybe more if You go for all the achivements. I think it's best to wait for a sale. - boring - unless You're in a mood for a relaxing game and will not rush it. also my tip is to finish the game first without stressing out about all the shamans and retaking each chapter without rushing. Geting all shamans and murals at once was too much for me since I was bored by trying to figure out all puzzles ;)

Enjoyable little, cute game with nice puzzles. i bought this game for the Fox. and also it even has a photomode, if you interested in taking some photos. But there's still some bothering things about it. - Can't save manually. if you want to quit and return later you have to finish the chapter and even then it says that "you'll lose all the progress in the chapter" which is little bit annoying!! - Can't really pause the game if you want to give a little break. (maybe the reason was to no one is attacking you but I would have liked the option) - Can't choose chapter without quitting the game. And why's the Fox sound like a dog? it's like barking, rawr, every time. Did they think that fox's sound might freak out people?
