March 2025
This game got me hooked on all Shelter titles! The art alone is enough to draw you in. When people say an indie game can change your life, I feel like they're referring to games like this. It's so simple, yet beautiful and tragic. You truly feel the hardships of being a single mother in a cruel and unforgiving world. You'll want to do everything in your power to protect your babies. The silent yet impactful story is what keeps you replaying. Although, I will admit, this game doesn't have as much replay value as some of the other titles, it's still a must-play!

Only ~1 hour long. I would say to buy it when it is on sale. A short, but fun experience about nurturing your badger offspring.

This game is both incredibly peaceful and stressful at the same time. I never thought I'd have so much fun navigating motherhood as a badger but here we are. I'm just sad it's not longer.
