May 2025
This is actually the first bobcat simulator i've seen and played! Thanks to Seri: Pixel Biologist for giving a shoutout to this game AND Paws. The only lynxes ive ever seen in a game was in wildcraft.. Pros: Stunning graphics. Unrealistic graphics i usually dislike, but the models and styles of this game are gorgeous. Unlike in the 1st game (since all of your cubs died at the end), you actually get to continue Inna's legacy. You can play as her cubs, then her cubs' cubs, then her cubs' cubs' cubs, then her 321837215283th grandchildren's cubs. The immersive lands of this game, such as the swamp and the spring atmosphere. A peaceful ecosystem if you exclude predators trying to take your cubs. But i respect that, all survival games HAVE to have a threat like that otherwise it's not survival at all. Adorable cubs. Cons: erm akshually lynxes are excellent swimmers. they can even last long underwater. this is a game about bobcats, not about slugcats. A few more, but i forgot what they were. 8/10 Needs some improvement. They didn't research on bobcats that well, but atleast they acknowledged them as adept hunters.

Such a pleasing game to look at and a heartbreaking game to play. There were so many times i just had to turn it off cuz it hurt so much. It takes a lot to play, and even on my new computers it's a little slow sometimes. But overall great game, highly recommend it.

Even after so many years, I still can't forget how I lost my only kitten on the very last day! I was heartbroken! I called out for him and searched everywhere but couldn't find him anywhere. It was a very emotional moment when I finally realised that he was lost all alone forever in those swamps... And the fact that the other three kittens stayed with me until they were old enough to leave didn't make me feel any better. I kept thinking only of him and how I hadn't properly kept an eye on him. Bloody swamp! I wish we'd stayed in that cave... If you're reading this son just text me. I hope you're okay...
