How it feels

You methodically place cameras by day, then settle in at night to watch squirrel footage unfold in a quiet, subtly strange forest.

What players say

Players praise the striking color palette and atmosphere, but many find the core loop of placing cameras and watching footage wears thin quickly. The story sets up a mystery that never pays off, and at 2 to 3 hours it feels more like a proof of concept than a full game. Most say it is only a good buy at a deep discount.
