While following your goal of keeping the cubs safe and getting the taken one back, new paths and escape ways to use and explore open up. The more clues you find the more you learn about the hunter.Īs you play the world keeps changing, seasons change and so does the environment. We really liked the way this was used as it felt like the hunter’s tracks came every few days normally after you had finished exploring your current area. This is used to help progress the story and also unlocks new areas. Everytime you find a clue, which is something the hunter has interacted with, you get a little flashback image. The game provides you with a sniff mechanic, showing you a “scent trail” for food (prey and garbage) as well as the hunter who took your cub. You can also befriend a few who will give you food and maybe even show you some short cut (fast travel) locations around the world. This adds to the message about how serious survival is.įrom time to time you will come across other animals some you will hunt for food and others will attempt to hunt you. If you don’t take care of your cubs, they will die so it’s important to not neglect them if you want to keep them alive.
If you die you are provided with a message letting you know that your cubs couldn’t survive without you as well as the image of your character being killed sometimes a little graphically. For the ones that are hostile, you are able to fight them off but it does take a toll on your character as you are unable to run and will have to walk away. Yes, most of them will be trying to hunt you with traps and if they do get too close to you they will attack you but, some of them will ignore you and a few will give you some food and try to pet you.
With all that said, not all interactions with humans are bad. This little extra touch adds something special to the game and really makes you feel connected with your character. You can pet your cubs to reassure them everything is ok. The cubs can get scared with everything happening in the environment or when you have been attacked. With some of the new skills they learn they will be able to get their own food and escape when being hunted. There are certain areas of the game that will teach your cubs new skills. They start off not being able to do much, just following you around waiting for food. This adds another component to the game as you will need to make sure they are safe and keep them within range. Every once in a while you will see an animation of a cub yawning or moving around.Īfter a few nights of solo foraging for food, the cubs will venture from the shelter and join you. When returning to the shelter to sleep you will see an adorable image of you, the momma, and your cubs sleeping. This is not mandatory although it does make it easier to move around because if the humans see you they will attack. The game does recommend you return to the shelter before morning. Most of the expeditions take place at night while the humans are sleeping. Sometimes, you will have to hunt other animals or dig through garbage looking for food. As the game goes on you will see the world getting worse and worse.įor the first little bit, when the cubs are very young, they will stay in the shelter and you will need to go out and bring back some food. The forests are being cut down and rivers are polluted. Mankind is slowly destroying the world with trash and junk everywhere.
A hunter traps one of the cubs and you will need to track down the hunter to rescue your cub while keeping your other 3 cubs safe, fed, and alive.
