What beautiful art style and game atmosphere in this one. I have only just begun to enjoy my time in Shelter, but already I am loving so much that its shown so far. I love the minimalistic UI and the clever lighting from inside the tunnels to outside during daylight. Even the simplistic controls and gameplay ensures the experience is authentic to the actual life of a badger mother and her pups. In Shelter you play as a mother badger and you traverse the overworld in search of food to ensure the pups that follow you around don't fade away. You can ram trees that have red fruit hanging from the branches, or rip up root veggies for your pups to fight over. I like that you can place food directly in front of the most faded pup since the nearest pup will always go for the food. The game feels authentic to nature, and to the natural atmosphere it creates. The plot is not told through text, but through the situations that happen as you experience the landscape. It impressed me in how simple it was but how profound an experience it left me with. Again, it must be said how lush and relaxing the landscape was. I have been playing on windows 10 with mouse and keyboard and barring some clunky camera controls, actually enjoyed every other bit about the game. In terms of replayability I wouldn't be opposed to a return romp through after some time has passed. I appreciate the calm but invigorating feeling you get from experiencing a simulation game this pure that it truly immerses you into the mind and even essence of the Badger. Replayability is where I definitely feel Shelter is most weak in, so you might not revisit this experience again... so enjoy it!
