Winter Burrow

Game started with the promise of helping a mouse survive a bleak winter in a desolate unforgiving world. But it's none of those things. The mouse only has to worry about freezing, and then only barely. You easily get enough food, and you soon have clothes nice enough for warmth. This may be because it starts you off (by default) on "story mode", but there's no real story, so that only serves to highlight how shallow the experience has been. Enjoyed it for about an hour, played for many more, always hoping that some layer of complexity would emerge. Oh and for some reason it believes I need to have two pick axes and will mail me a new one if I drop either of them.

Несложная, уютная, красивая и добрая игра. Для тех, кто хочет расслабиться в атмосфере зимнего леса - рекомендую. Единственный минус: не очень удобное управление при помощи мышки и клавиатуры.

I enjoyed it, though it had a few shortcomings. Lots of backtracking for the NPC quests even though they were narratively compelling ([spoiler]finding Pinesap was a gutpunch[/spoiler]). Could have used a bit of tweaks, like labelling mole tunnels on the map and reducing item costs for some furniture pieces. The art is great — I especially loved the little vignettes in the dreams — but I'm not sure if I would've paid $20 for this and felt I got my money's worth. I ultimately recommend it, especially if you think you would enjoy decorating a little mouse's Burrow.

Затишний і нескладний (але цікавий) виживастик із казковим артом, який чимось нагадує мені серію коміксів про мишок "Mouse Guard" Девіда Пітерсона.

Buen juego. Lo único que le agregaría es un poco más de espacio en la madriguera o más pisos para construir. También mejoraría el sistema de cultivo, ya que es muy difícil conseguir semillas; al final resulta más conveniente salir a cazar o farmear comida que intentar ser autosuficiente. Además, para quienes disfrutan decorar la madriguera, hace falta un mejor equilibrio, ya que tener estructuras ofrece beneficios, pero decorar con poco espacio limita mucho. También agregaría un marcador de la ubicación del jugador en tiempo real dentro del mapa. Aunque el mapa es relativamente fácil de memorizar, sería una mejora muy útil. En general, lo recomiendo, ya que recompensa mucho la exploración del mapa.

Winter burrow is a cozy and heartfelt game that combines chill exploring, interior decoration, combat, and foraging in one title. I was looking for a game which I enjoyed playing while recovering, with a fair amount of exploration, combat and strategy without having to resort to harsh survival games with loaded topics or plain horror themes, but still interesting enough to keep me entertained. This game is just what I needed, it's a daily challenge which doesn't feel too repetitive and tedious, even if you have a clock per day, it's pretty much balanced and it doesn't feel too rushed to go back home if you're time wise. Exploring becomes easier each passing day, so it's not necessary to speed run. Creatures and "enemies"are manageable on the first map locations, and you need to take care of other factors like the weather, food etc, unlike strictly combating creatures, so it's good to keep that in mind and to use your resources and items wisely. Regarding the art style I like it very much. It looks like a blend between the Moomin and the art style of Harry kitten and Tucker mouse. Overall I'm enjoying the game so far. I think the best part is crafting all the gathered resources into different furniture and goods. If you give it a try and you like decorating while exploring, and you enjoy cozy storytelling this is a good match.

Мило, душевно, несложно, интересно! Небольшой лайфхак - мебель при установке баффает персонажа, причем бафф стакается. Поэтому не утилизируйте неактуальные кровати, стулья и прочее, а ставьте все это в подвал. Если же спецом заморочиться и забить подвал мебелью с самыми жирными баффами, то можно сделать терминатора, который практически не ощущает холода и выносит пару пауков одновременно)
