The game is beautiful, oh I love the art style so much. The game play is not bad but I don't think I will play it a second time.

Solid short game. Nice aesthetic and character/story. Feels like a shorter version of firewatch with a bit more interesting gameplay. Also similar to firewatch, the creepy vibes is a nice touch but in the end stays fairly tame (so don't go in expecting a full horror experience). Also kinda pricey for such a small game (though it is pretty well polished to be fair), but I got it on a big sale so no complaints.

NUTS is a good causal game where you take videos of squirrels and have to find where they come from. The designs are originals and colorful and the ambient is very cozy. The only negaticve point is it's a little bit repetitive. It worth it with a discount price, I recommend it!!! 🐿️💗

Very peaceful formulaic gameplay with light story but simple and sweet. Can be repetitive the game is short enough that it doesn't drag on.

Really not what I expected at all - for some reason I thought this was going to be a zany psych-horror-comedy about a researcher being driven mad by squirrels, and instead it's actually a rather serious environmentalist thriller. Basically a much better Firewatch in some ways. The puzzle elements are rather unique, as you have to place video cameras during the day and study the footage at night, essentially making this a very unconventional detective game. I can understand why some might consider this mechanic rather finicky, but as someone who had messed around with amateur audio editing in the past I found that element rather well done - you do need a sense of perfectionism. To lightly touch upon a major spoiler, I can understand why some might be disappointed by the ending - I'm generally not a fan of open endings, especially in games which feature such deadpan social commentary as this - but I feel like it works here - the pro-conservation and anti-corruption themes are very much relevant right here, right now, a happy ending would be disingenuous and ruin the message of the game somewhat, while a bummer ending would just be fucking strange. About performance issues - I did suffer a rather surprising FPS drop on the Steam Deck, which surprised me, but I'm not someone who really cares about that kinda stuff - it's just kinda rare, especially for an indie title. I wouldn't try to run this on a potato laptop.
