About
Experience the wild as a badger sheltering your cubs from harm. On your journey, you will be stalked by birds of prey, encounter perils of the night, cross fierce rivers, escape forest fires and face the looming threat of starvation. Food is to be found, but is there enough for everyone?
Your cubs need food to survive and to become strong enough to overcome the challenges they face as they make their way through the world.
Are you ready for a truly different adventure, something that might evoke feelings you've never felt in a game before? In the wild, all living creatures are put to the test. The question in the end is who will survive to live another day?
Retro Family have composed a beautiful soundtrack to an original and graphically innovative game world. In the wilderness, shelter is your only hope and survival your only goal.

[h3]我认为是关卡设计在刻意压缩开放性,主动制作节奏里的不安,浪费了那份空旷悠长的自然经验。但更上层的创作构想,例如主设计、叙事方向和对情绪的理解,都主动或被动地揪出了一个最基本最朴素的情感核心。每一个生命都在别的生命中延续。我仍然很难否认它的动人。母獾每次停下来,幼崽从远处追上,围在她身边,短暂的安稳便会出现。游戏对亲密关系的理解,在这些小地方十分准确。爱会拖慢一个人,会使她频繁回头,会让原本只需穿过的道路生出牵挂。一个生命愿意调整自己的步伐,等另外几个生命跟上来,这已经是很具体的伦理。一个漂亮的结尾。死亡来得干净,象征也随即完整。生活总要继续处理剩余的部分。[/h3]
Do you like badgers ? Because this game is about losing your little badger cubs one by one and then having to explain to your boyfriend/girlfriend why your grown ass is crying over video game badgers. 10/10 no notes.

Shelter is an artistic game with the story focusing around nature. You have around 1 hour 30 minutes of gameplay with this game. Since it's a shorter game, I'll keep the review more simplified. Visually and sound wise, the game is both very artsie, while also being atmospheric and immersive. The game kind of reminds me of the kind of picture books or folk tales that you read in Europe. You're just an animal in the forest. The goal of the game is to keep your little ones fed and safe. You have to dig up vegetables, pick off apples from trees and hunt down frogs and foxes so that the little ones can be fed. Along the way you're meant to dodge dangers such as an eagle, river rapids and other forces you can expect from nature. Because you're caring and feeding for your kids, you become extremely attached. They make cute little sounds, which makes it all the more painful if you end up losing one of them. It's an incredibly effective storytelling means and I almost started crying while playing this. The game design is intuitive and easy for the player to understand. The control scheme is also very straight forward. The only minor thing is that the little badgers can have buggy pathfinding to eat some food sometimes. It's a very good and artistic way to tell a story about nature, about nurturing as well as loss. This game is wonderful and I strongly recommend it.
[h1] [b]FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY OF GAMING - BECOME THE BADGER![/b] For me best game in the series followed by Shelter 2 and Paws. Great series. Worth getting into! [/h1]

[h1] Мать года [/h1] Shelter - короткая игра про семью барсуков, где наша задача как матери кормить, защищать и сопроводить наших детей в новый дом. [hr][/hr] [list]Плюсы: [*]Необычный дизайн, что-то типа масляных красок. [*]Музыка и звуки. [*]Атмосфера и чувство ответственности/привязанности. Все таки своих детишек жалко терять. [/list] [hr][/hr] [list]Минусы: [*]Короткой игры. Нету даже 2 часов [*]Проблемы с ориентацией. Это конечно добавляет атмосферности, но хотелось бы каких-то визуальных подсказок. Даже как с пониманием когда дети голодны. [*]Искусственный интеллект у детей. [/list] [hr][/hr] [quote=Mr.Otter] Итог. Коротенькая и ламповая игрушка. В целом, довольно грустная так что не особо рекомендуется чувствительным людям. Рекомендуется, особенно по скидке. [/quote]
Un gioco di sopravvivenza dove, nei panni di mamma tasso, dovrete difendere i vostri cinque cuccioli dalla fame, le intemperie e i predatori, accompagnandoli nella loro prima sortita fuori dalla tana (e qui già affioravano vecchie reminiscenze di cartoni tragici in questo senso). Il gioco di per se è estremamente semplice e carino nella sua semplicità, anche lo stile merita attenzione; eppure il fatto che sia tecnicamente instabile me lo rende di fatto ingiocabile. Cheers...alla signora Tasso.
I'd absolutely recommend this game to anyone who wants something short and simple, but also beautiful and bittersweet. The controls are pretty basic and very easy to get the hang of, you just move around (walk/run), collect food to feed to your babies, and sometimes hunt other animals that show up on your travels. I finished this game in just a little under 1 and a half hours. I'd say for such a short experience, $15 might be a bit much (I waited for it to go on sale). But either way, it's a good game! If you love animals, wanna be a badger mama, and feel like you're exploring a beautiful, natural world with dangers to overcome, definitely give it a try! :D ----- Here's a review check list I wanted to do for fun, if anyone likes those: ----- ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Baby's first video game ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ Who needs eyes? ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ World/Map }--- ☐ A whole new world! ☐ Great for exploration ☐ Large and immersive ☑ Small and immersive ☑ Limited exploration ☐ Leaves more to be desired ☐ Little to no exploration value ☐ There is no map. ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Gets the job done ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't. ---{ Replayablity }--- ☐ Every replay is a new experience! ☐ Playing it never gets old ☐ Good for a few binges ☑ Nice for killing time ☐ Not that much to come back to ☐ Repetitive ☐ Once and never again. ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Soundtrack }--- ☐ Masterpiece ☐ Memorable ☑ It's alright ☐ Could be better ☐ Did they even try? ☐ No soundtrack ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short (Under 2 hours) ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10
