This game is thoughtful and strangely beautiful. The precisely evocative writing and the art draws really sets the tone. This isn’t a cozy game of uplifted animals, this is a game about small creatures teaming up to explore a big abandoned world. It doesn’t feel unnecessarily grim but the risks of venturing out are real. For me the strength of this game was the way it allowed me for just a few hours to see the world outside my own human centric vantage point - which given the state of nature seems more urgent than ever.
