I enjoyed this a lot.

I seem to remember finding some trivial stuff, but I lost my notes. If you're interested, I can play through again, because I think I'd have fun.

The main one was that the tutorial fired off a one-off "careful, this is a timed puzzle" when there didn't seem to be a timed puzzle (the trash bag.) Thus when I ran into an actual timed puzzle, it didn't fire.

The only thing I would add is an in-game note that the map runs east-west-ish, if the player wants to make a map with pen(cil) and paper. I ran out of space at first drawing mine up.

someone found a bug with a specific item that i can’t find or reproduce. so, just to be safe, i made a small change and uploaded an update today.

I love being a bear!!

SPOILER ALERT

11 meals… where is the baby bear?

Developer

glad to hear you're enjoying it, you've done quite well getting 11/12 meals!

i've uploaded a 'cheat sheet' with all the locations of each meal. i'd be curious to know which one you're missing.

i don't know how to add a spoiler alert on itch (would be curious to know how to do that as well) but i will say that you can get to the bear cub after you've eaten all 12 meals. there are no red herrings in the game. so, if there's an area you haven't seemed to be able to access or an item you haven't yet done something with, you will need to eventually.

SPOILER ALERT

I am at Trace @ Bee Tree but I not able to find any beehive… it is courious because with “help with tree” the answer is “You can’t climb the tree. Maybe stand on something to reach the beehive”…but … Where is the beehive? Am I at the wrong location? Is it necessary to do something to discover the beehive?

And about how to add spoilers in itchio, just follow these instructions… https://itch.io/t/2151831/adding-spoiler-text-to-your-game-description

i’m thinking the hive is there but invisible for some reason. are you able to ‘push atv under hive’, ‘get on atv’, and ‘take hive’?

I am playing on line trough the link… may be the reason?

I will try with the ATV later and tell you.

Anyway, a great adventure. Congratulations!!

Developer

i can’t reproduce what you’re seeing but sorry for the irritation. i can’t seem to find where the fault lies and hate to blame borogove but lets blame them anyway :)

just in case, i did make a change to how the beehive is displayed and uploaded it to itch and borogove as well.
