You find yourself stranded on a far away island and need to find your way out. As you explore, you start to find pieces of a sail boat which can help you sail off to freedom. However, the manner in which you find these pieces require you to shovel in the ghostly Forest of Mortality, go face to face with the grizzly bear whilst feeling the ambience of the Wandery Forest, and, quite literally, DIE. There are many areas to the island: Red Rose Forest Wandery Forest Forest of Mortality Captain Swash's Shop The Shore Etc. Plenty of wildlife: Foxes Bears Crabs Squirrels Fireflies Butterflies Birds Etc. Characters: Captain Swash Fisherman Dwight The Reaper Bear Trapper Jarvis Evelyn Etc. All of that mixed with one of the best ambiences you'll ever hear from an indie game!
The games graphics despite cute could use work. The trees look great but the squirrel itself and the enemies could've been drawn less choppy. There is also no tutorial or how to play. I wasn't aware I was supposed to bring the acorns back to my nest until five minutes into the game. And even then, I couldn't walk onto the branches. Great game idea, execution needs work.
