How it feels

A gentle, meditative third-person exploration through beautiful wilderness, blending a fox's journey with a son's personal story.

What players say

Players call it a short, emotional walking simulator with a narrated story, but they are split on the execution. Some find the required jumping and collecting tedious, and the dialogue awkward, while others praise the atmosphere and soundtrack.
