Going to retire to the woods with my frog-squirrel children....

This game's vibe is indescribable, but whatever axis it is that it exists on, it's about an 11/10 in that direction. My neighbors may think I've lost my mind, but their judgment is nothing against the love of my squowls (and my heart is forever pining for the jeep who got away)

EDIT: it even has a beautifully performed credits song?? GOTY 2026

This is so good i hate it so much. And it's so polished! A less appealing game would not get me to moan to attract owls, but I'm so happy you did!

Oh my god, is that plasticine or clay? The art style… is memorable. Very… original and… uh… eccentric.
Lol. Probably the weirdest game I’ve played in this jam.

The concept of needing to mimic different calls to find a mate is genuinely unique. It's such a charming idea to take mating calls and build a whole woodland love story around it. You've created a wonderfully cozy vibe in this forest!

HMMMM, I have no idea what it is that I just played, but I enjoyed it :rofl:

Humour is spot on, easily the funnest game I've played so far. But the visuals are just gorgeous! And the movement through the forest somehow feels so alive. Overall very immersive experience! Pufferfish best call. Peace.
