Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

Go around a little island, snapping photos of all the common and exotic animals which you share it with. Help out around town to progress the story. I never needed an external guide. It's real chill. Simple, accessible, comforting, and satisfying!

A wholesome and lovely adventure. Sends you back to the days of summer adventures as a kid.

I've played it a few times. It doesn't do much for me, but it's cute and fun... until near the end. My first complaint is about the length of the game. It's very short and repetitive. I thought there was going to be a second chapter where you go somewhere else, from the sentence 'Paco is on the run!' and the fact that the book of animals says 'Biome - Mediterranean'. There isn't really any music, and some elements of the game seem a little... well, illogical? I know that red squirrels are endangered, yet they are listed as 'Common' here. There's a weird combination of Spanish and English dialogue. The characters are trying to send the message that we are destroying the environment. 'Ooh, nasty agriculture!' 'Rubbish building corporation!' Not all companies are like that! The characters have some really bad attitude! Not only that, but some animals are really hard to snap. They hide in the most unexpected places, and some of them (the birdies obviously) fly past so hastily that you can't shoot (the camera); it took me five minutes to catch the Barn Swallow, and it was impossible to take a picture of what I think is the Marsh Harrier. I like how quirky it is though, so I'd give it four stars, and it's a nice little game to relax with... if you like angry treehuggers, and are possibly one yourself, that is.

Great, relaxing game where you can do everything in your own pace. Easy and non-violent. It has a bit of Haven Park and A Short Hike spirit, if you enjoyed them you gonna like this one too. Your main tasts are park restoration and taking photos of wildlife to collect all the species.

My daughter just loves this, as she can simply ignore most of the tasks that the game hands her and just wander around and discover new things. Beautiful!
