Scampr is an unusual but beautiful game. I would classify it as a walking simulator where you interact with objects now and then. Good value for money. You are a squirrel in a hamlet invented by aliens to replicate life on earth as remembered by a goldfish. A goldfishes view of life is very limited, so expect the weird and wonderful. You throw acorns which become giraffes and whales fly in the sky. But Mr goldfish is missing, so you have to track him down and set him free and activate some animals along the way. There is very little story....it is all in the prologue and nothing else after that. Graphics are good and very realistic. Music is ok. The world is quite large with hidden tunnels and caves to search. There is a good map which helps you to find the objectives you need to complete. Movement is good and you can go quite fast. Squirrels are very agile, so you're able to jump a long distance and climb up trees and fences. There is a train that carries you to the distant parts of the world if you get tired of running along on foot. Or you can ride a whale to have an overview of the world and work out where to go. This is a calm and relaxing game. There is no pressure, no boss fights, no jump scares, no enemies. You can't die. It is just a journey in a strangely alien world with a few fun things to do. There is a well hidden Easter egg which I accidentally stumbled across. The squirrel is constantly followed by butterflies which were a nuisance when I was trying to take screenshots, but that is just a personal quibble! A good first game from a new developer. I look forward to their next one. 7/10

Alright. [i]Scampr[/i] is done and dusted. You play as an alien scientist taking the form of a squirrel who is tasked with trying to replicate Earth as remembered by a goldfish. As you can imagine, the goldfish’s memories and perception might be a tad skewed. Said goldfish is also lost though, and so one of your tasks will be to find the goldfish. You’re not going to really get any of this from the game itself, so it’s good the devs decided to set up the world’s story in the product description, lol. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3172852806 Things skewed by the goldfish’s recollections include acorns being able to create giraffes and unpetrify creatures, whales flying and being rideable, mushrooms making music, fish flying, and so on. The sealife flying does make sense from a fish’s perspective though, lol. Anyway, you, an alien scientist squirrel, have a shopping list of objectives, from exploring caves to taking a train through the map, to the aforementioned riding whales, and so on. Plus, don’t forget that you need to find the goldfish. Once completed, you will be airlifted off the map by a blimp. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3173090576 The graphics are particularly nice in this game. There is a weird bit of motion blur while distant assets render in, but yeah. The OST was pleasant, but not particularly noteworthy. And the little squirrel sounds were kind of funny. As you can imagine, the game doesn’t take itself very serious. It’s a (fast) walking simulator through and through, with a cool playscape to run/climb/jump around in. Although I’d consider this unsupported on the Steam Deck, forcing Proton and a bit of key mapping makes it completely playable. The game kept almost wanting to stutter, sitting on the cusp of doing so a few times, and the FPS wavered periodically, but nothing actually happened. I did also reduce the mouse sensitivity, which was initially jacked up. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3172852985 [b]I received this license via my Robilar’s Reviews curator program.[/b] I would consider the $3.99 price tag to be fair. It took me about two hours to complete. I do note that the average playtime seems to be more like four hours, but I’m not really sure why this is. As it stands though, it’s a fun and charming playscape with a pretty unique premise. I’d give it a look.

Given the price of this game and the it being the first one by these devs on steam, it is quite successful as a game. The game creates a sort of alien atmosphere and narrative right from the beginning. It is a strange, yet beautiful environment that you find yourself in. You are given free reign to explore a quite large world. There are also hidden areas that contrast with the starting world. In the end, it is an open world game where you can solve small puzzles and explore vibrant landscapes. Pros: Looks great, especially given the price It is strange and odd in all the right ways, pushing that alien narrative You can do whatever you feel like doing right after the very beginning It is really interpretative as to what meaning is to be found, creating unique experiences Cons: The movement is a little strange and takes some getting used to There are a few graphical bugs spread around that can take you out of the experience There is not a set path for players to follow, so some players could get confused or disinterested Overall, I think it is a positive game. There are some things which can be improved, but its a nice time for those looking for a causal or pretty exploration game.
I am always greatful when Devs send a game to me for review on my Curator page for the Visually Impaired. This one leaves me puzzled. Text to Speech option? Nope High contrast mode? Nope Accessibility options of any type? Nope I can't play the game and can find no effort in making it accessible. Hence I am puzzled, Should the Devs wish to explain, I'm all ears. However I can't recommend this game currently. The games description sounds like an acid trip, and if anyone woke up with sight at my level, they may think it is caused by an acid trip, is this the link?

Beautiful and relaxing game, very nice environments and it's just great exploring the world from a squirrel's perspective.
game looks really cool, I finished the end :-)
Scampr is set in a whimsical world with a quest that doesn't make much sense. With beautiful graphics, stunning locations and an immersive environment, it is more of an experience than a game, though there are a series of objectives to complete before winning the game. It is an open world exploration, and there were times I was not sure what to do; This is the kind of game where a guide or walkthrough would be helpful to a lot of players. An easily accessible map is available for the main area to guide you, which does help to find one's way around. As part of the experience, moving the camera around blurs the vision, which some players may find uncomfortable. I did half expect as a squirrel to be able to climb any tree I came across, but found that you can only climb in specific locations that allows this, other than using your jump to get up some not so difficult places. The soundtrack is a pleasant atmospheric one which also aides with immersion. I don't think this is a game for everyone, but for those who would enjoy this kind of experience, I think that the price is actually a good price for this game. Themes: The player cannot die, not even from falling from a great height (Though, you are a squirrel). No weapons, other than some statues holding swords. There's one odd statue that looks like a devil. Some objects appear to be magical/supernatural or some unexplained technology. Apparently there is an "Easter egg" to find, though I didn't find it. *** ~ House Blythe, curator for Non-violent Entertainment: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35899705/

If you're looking for a good game to teach your young children how to play games on a PC with a mouse & keyboard , then Scampr is it. The graphics and different scenery are pretty cool . The controls are easy. And there is absolutely no violence . (even you can't die) It took me 3 hours to complete and that was with a lot of exploring .
