Here is another great game developed by Ryan Zollinger. If you liked The Sink Gods (or are a fan of the Rusty Lake games) you will love this. It is chock full of puzzles with much more content. Using hand drawn art and point-and-click mechanics, an adventure story unfolds as you make your way to, and later attempt to escape, the temple of the great deer. There is something sinister afoot inside those walls. Can you get out or will you fall victim to the plot? Yes, there are two endings. Wink-wink.
Loved it! Just a few puzzle moments that felt very unclear, otherwise well executed and just the right difficulty. Very much in the spirit and style of Rusty Lake. Would love to see more from the developer, paid content also of course!

Really fun game. Glad to see more from this developer. My only annoyance is that a couple puzzles felt a bit under explained and difficult. Much longer and tougher than The Sink Gods and definitely worth the time. Took me about 2 hours.

Игра 'The Great Deer' – это настоящая находка для любителей медитативного геймплея и живописных пейзажей. С первых минут погружаешься в атмосферу умиротворения, наблюдая за жизнью лесных обитателей. Управление оленем интуитивно понятно, а его плавные движения и грациозность завораживают. Исследуя обширные локации, наполненные деталями – от шелеста листвы до пения птиц – забываешь обо всем на свете. Головоломки, хоть и несложные, отлично вписываются в общий ритм игры, не нарушая спокойствия, а лишь добавляя легкий челлендж. Особо радует отсутствие агрессии и напряженности, присущих многим современным проектам. Здесь главная цель – насладиться процессом, созерцать красоту природы и чувствовать себя частью этого гармоничного мира. Графика выполнена в приятном, слегка стилизованном ключе, что создает неповторимый шарм. 'The Great Deer' – это идеальный способ расслабиться после долгого дня и обрести внутреннее равновесие.

Great game. I got the bad ending but I will play this to get other endings.
Напоминает Rusty Lake, но есть баги из-за которых приходится заново переигрывать всю игру, пропадают активные кнопки переключения между комнатами или взаимодействия с предметами...

To start, the game is free! 😲 I feel I should've paid at least $.99 cents for it, maybe even more. Even if it's a short one, it completely deserved and justifiable. Before jumping in, I wanted to get a sense of how long the gameplay would be, so I started looking at some (positive) reviews. I noticed many mentioned it had similarities to the Rusty Lake series. Rusty Lake is my favorite P+C series. This was a no brainer, playtime didn't matter. The reviews weren't wrong. It's in the same vein as Rusty Lake; very likely they were inspired by them. It's not quite imitating it, but I'd say- it could become its own style within the P+C genre (if it hasn't already and I just haven't noticed). Visually it has a similar art style but not quite the same. It's a hand-drawn surreal style yet smooth and polished. It includes many creative and enjoyable puzzles that vary in difficulty. I got stuck a few times but was able to figure it out eventually. Except for one 😖 I had to look it up. As expected, it uses basic P+C controls. When it comes to the story, I wish it had been fleshed out more. It's there but it feels glossed over. There's clear potential to expand the story. The narrative is told by letters left for you that give some background information, atmospheric storytelling and towards the end some actual dialogue. I wish it had been more elaborate. Everything else I really loved and enjoyed. I highly recommend it. I'll be checking out their other games too!
