Slice of Life

I wanna like to this game so hard since it's cute and I like the idea... but I can't. I don't know am I just so bad at this game but the controls are pretty hard and i've died like a million times. Wolf packs are the worst, I kinda just wanna smash my keyboard to my screen... I might have too short temper for this kind of games. I love the visual idea and it looks beautiful, but the controls and difficulty are just too much for me to handle.

I bought this game thinking it was a survival game. You know, since the only description of the game is a single question and I had to guess what the game is. Based on the fact that the first patchnotes mentioned hunger, I assumed it was a survival game. Surprise! It's not a survival game! It's a platformer. A diffiicult one at that. Movements are slow, there's no way to run and "safe" rocks became dead ends very quickly as they sunk into the lava. 5 deaths trying to get to the first "checkpoint" and another 3 trying to get past that checkpoint. I'm done. No thanks. I don't like games with zero sense of progress. Just bash your head against the wall and hope you win! Not my idea of fun, but maybe someone else likes this style of game?

Slice of Life is a game where you play as a Doe who is in a polygamous relationship with two bucks, They all get separated and must find each other all while navigating a lava bathed landscape. You will fight off threats from other wildlife as well as environmental while keeping an eye on your hunger and thirst. My personal thoughts: The game is VERY unfinished but to be expected as it is a EA title. I got the game because the deer looked cute! the animations caught my eye in the steam store page. I'll be honest the game is not that fun just yet and plays more like a walking sim but I feel like the game could become very good in the future and that's why I have decided to support this EA title by buying it now. What you can expect from this game: Calming music/dramatic music(context sensitive) Lifelike animations. Dying . . .a lot some basic platforming and problem solving. walking aimlessly

Pretty visuals. Interesting premise: You are a baby deer with two dads who were slain by a volcano. Reminds me of Copoka, Firewatch. Controls need to be tightened up and the bugs ironed out. Pretty good for Early Access though. https://youtu.be/pJ0hyEBVndI

I thought this game would be a simple cute game, but instead the controls are horrible, it's hard to move the deer around, in the woods with the wolves the camera angles are just blurs and it's more flustrating then relaxing, extremely hard to find water and food and rest areas, I like challenging games but this is way beyond. waste of money for me, uninstalling.

I really liked the idea for this game, and also the achievements are fun to get, but the control mechanisms are atrocious. It is quite frustrating to play, and I would not recommenced this game in its current state. Pros -Cute graphics -Original idea Cons -Deer will often flail and fall instead of jumping -Will lie down and rest if you are idle, but this happens on a rock for ledge when you get up the deer will far forward -You can not turn while rearing/attacking, which means the wolf fights are almost impossible -The forward direction appears to be fixed, which means that you the camera angle with the mouse really makes things confusing - forward should be whatever direction the camera is facing towards -Ash/dust often make it impossible to see the ledge or rock you want to jump to -Wolves respawn, which means the achievements are very difficult to go back for (avoid backtracking if possible) -Pretty much anything will kill you, including the deer falling off a rock or cliff (even though you weren't right on the edge), fire, explosions (you can't avoid), lava, any almost everything else -Not enough save points or rest/food/water -Very glitchy when trying to walk or jump to higher platform/rock/wood. The deer will just stand sideways and if you jump you will probably die -Sometimes it is glitchy when you fall to your death and get jammed into a crevice and you can't die Update: Came back 4 years later to try again and my above comments still stand.

garbage control mechanics, but great art

[h1] Bug riddled short adventure with deer. Fear the deer. [/h1]

I don't think this game deserves all the basing it gets; its true that the controls are a bit unusual, BUT after you get used to it its pretty easy. After I first cleared the game I started again just to get all the achievements, and I got through the lava region in a few mins without dying even once. It seemed laughable how lame I was with the controls at first, lol. Later on I got stuck on the magic wolf stage for a while, until one of my friends highlighted to me that you can use sprint from that point on (somehow I didnt get it until then). Finally with my sprinting powers I bashed through all stages and finished the game pretty fast. I think it was enjoyable and cute with all the adorable help-other-cute-animals stuff, and the graphics are great! It's kinda sad there are no walkthoughs about this game, i think it would help a lot for players that got stuck on an actually easy stage, because they didn't get one of the hints / controls. I collected some tips about the game, which is alltogether great! Tips for y'all peeps (i didnt get some of these at first): ================================= GAME TIPS, MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS ================================= - There is a way to help every lost / trapped animal you find - You can count how much hp your enemy has left by their sounds; wolf dies in about 2 / 4 / 6 / 10 kicks (for boss), spiders about the same (not so sure about this anymore, after you nail the controls you win almost every fight so you dont really count the wolf-whines) - Enemies (except hunters/hunting dogs) are restricted to a cetain area, if you leave that place they won't follow you - You can get in anywhere, you usually just have to kick down a fence / tree (S + left click => kick backwards); note that you cant kick down spiky stuff that hurts you (but there is one spiky wall you can kick down ;) ) - Hold right click to sprint (you can only use this after you meet the first [green glowing] magic wolf) - Your jumps are easier / longer if you use sprint - dont fight the magic [green / pink glowing] wolves / electric balls, just try to run around them - its pretty easy to run aroud magic wolves if you wait for them to sit / lay down, they stand up pretty slow (if they even bother to) - yep, that super-big electric ball kills you, you dont have to check - in the spider cave you can kick down (at least one of the) wooden walls - to get through snowstorm, try to walk forward from your starting point and youll get there pretty fast GG done, had fun, 10/10 would try to get through magic wolf through 2 consecutive hours without sprint again

uncontrolable... dommage RIP bambi
