Shelter

(micro-review)

Genre: Survival, Atmospheric;

Release date: 28-Aug-2013 ;

Overview:     

In Shelter you experience the wild as a mother badger sheltering her cubs from harm. On their journey they get stalked by a bird of prey, encounter perils of the night, river rapids crossings, big forest fires and the looming threat of death by starvation.

Shelter also includes a separate mode called Nurture. It’s a tamagochi-like game that takes you back to the forest of Shelter every day and brings you even closer to your cubs.

   This game can bring nurture instincts that maybe you didn't even suspect you had. Only the thought of losing a cub can be heartbreaking. While some deaths are cheap, I didn't mind too much as, in my mind, it compensated for a lot of other stuff that can go wrong in the real life of animals but were not represented in game.

 Pros: touching experience.


 Cons: some deaths can feel cheap.


 Rating: five healthy baby badgers.


 Recommendation: for future badger mothers and everybody else.
