Yes, just yes greatest game, I don’t want to say one thing lol for some reason it didn’t count all of my achievements do you know what that’s my devices fault

What’s Nuts are the Controls!

I struggled with this game for more than 15 minutes, and all I managed to get was a mild headache and a not-so-mild desire to throw my phone against a wall and scream. Which probably would have made the headache worse, had I succumbed to the desire.

I read several reviews before installing, so I was prepared for some frustration with the controls. I’ve managed to get used to some odd setups over the years. But this is beyond nuts. Maybe if I ever get a console-style controller I’ll try it again, as it really does sound like a cool game. But until then, it’s not a game at all; just an exercise in frustration. And I’m not Zen Master enough for this 10th level stuff.

easily the best app game i've ever played

took me a solid three and a half hours to play through the game once. completely engaging and magical, i was enthralled. looks beautiful, sounds incredible, and comes with a great message. relaxing and calm, but suspenseful when it wants to be. i adore Nina's voice work. the gameplay is unique and fun, i once ran into a problem where the game wouldn't acknowledge a squirrel that was in the photo but i just got a different angle and it worked fine. (this was during the time stamps level, at 30)
wonderful all the way through ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There’s so much to love!

This game is beautiful and eerie and funny and important and just overall amazing. I really enjoyed it. The story was captivating and the gane itself is so unique and interesting! I love that there’s no pressure to trace the squirrels down in a certain number of nights or something. You’re just investigating and it’s super cool.

I do wish you could save mid chapter though. It kinda does it, but not really and I ended up repeating sections several times. I didn’t really mind that when compared to how much I liked the experience overall, but it was a tad annoying.

Calming, yet satisfying

I don’t write reviews very often, because most mobile games are mediocre. But, this game is worth the time to give a review. I will admit, I wasn’t fond of the color palettes at first, but you get used to it, and it becomes essential, gameplay-wise. I’m very upset only for the fact that it is such a short game. I was hoping for at least one more chapter, but the ending is still satisfying enough, and lets you tie off loose ends in your own imagination. It makes me want to go back out into the forest again. And reconnect. It’s such a cute game with cute little squirrels, and you really feel like you’ve become a part of the story and want to help. I’m hoping for some DLC or a story continuation at some point, but amazing job to the devs and everyone who created such an immersive game.

Hi, Good game

This is a good game although I personally think it it a little too hard. (Maybe make levels of experience or something) The color scheme can sometimes be annoying but it is still a good game otherwise. I will give it five stars if these things could potentially be changed.

I hate this game

This game was extremely frustrating I haven’t seen a squirrel in all this time I’ve been playing in the game is extremely hard I had to go back and do things multiple times can you please fix this I’m not even sure if I put my camera in the right spot😡

fun but unsatisfying

It was kind of hard to get the hang of at first and the tutorial isn’t great about directing you or repeating instructions. Once I finally figured it out it was quite fun and cute. It had a pretty good story but the ending is so unsatisfying. Too much is left hanging. I got out but what happened to Simon? Was he ever ok? How was the corporation getting my photos to edit? How did they forge Nina’s signature? Did she ever find someone to talk to and stop this? What happened to the rest of the squirrels? All these questions were unanswered and just left it so dissapointing.

The Game

Hi so I absolutely love the game but to me it kinda scares me like right know I’m we’re the two squirrels come out of nowhere and the weird information kinda scares me so next time make it less weird PS. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE GAME! ❤️🐿

Amazing but……PLEASE READ

I love the game but maybe you could put a setting where you could Change the graphics to like a normal looking setting but I love the game

Beautiful snd Fun

The graphics are beautiful and creative and the tasks gradually get harder. It’s a lot of fun but I understand why some people wouldn’t like the format or the type of game since a lot of it requires having to re set up cameras and watching closely to where the squirrels go

Cool but frustrating when nothing saves

really cool game but I have stopped playing because it NEVER saves anything. I continually repeat chapter 2 because everything is lost once I exit the app. insanely annoying for all your hard work ( decorating the caravan with pictures and setups) I am just tired of starting back up again, completing missions and then to come back to it with progress wiped ☹️

Awesome, but should’ve been something else

Don’t get me wrong this game is great and I love it. The graphics, the story and the way it is, is amazing. So real talk this game does give me some crappy vibes like if it were a horror game. I really do wish this was a horror game, like for example a finding Bigfoot game in this style would be great. A game like this about tracking squirrels doesn’t sound much fun for gamers, I myself still love this game even if it’s not a horror. But like the graphics the sounds the music does seem to give off the vibe of a horror game that never was 😢. Really hope you guys do make a finding Bigfoot game or any kind of horror game in this style that has potential.

Fantastic!!!

SUCH a great game! Wish it didn’t have to end so abruptly. I was looking forward to what would happen after crossing.. Please make more chapters or more games like this, it was beautifully made!

10/10 Would recommend.

I LOVE THIS. The art style is fantastic. The story is fantastic. I would have loved to have at least been able to see what happened AFTER the game, like what happened to the squirrels but even without it it’s still an amazing game. I might just go back, see if I missed anything. Though, I’m not gonna lie, I was half expecting something to jump out at me as I was setting up the cameras.

Love the game but there’s a visual bug on iPad

So I’ve been waiting to play this for a while and it’s really exciting to be able to through Apple Arcade. That being said there’s a wired and experience/immersion breaking bug that lasts through most of what I’ve played the iPad Pro version that isn’t there on the iPhone version; the viewport resolution on the iPad seems inexplicably lower than on the iPhone. Initially I thought it was deliberate but after not being able to read what looked like written instructions on a prop, I checked on my iPhone for a similar resolution and the same asset was completely readable by comparison.

I’m still happy to just play the game on my iphone, but it would be amazing if the devs could fix this :D

Cheers and amazing work!

Beautiful and Enjoyable!

Graphic style is so unique and interesting, whicch is what intriqued me to play in the first place…
This game is so much more than what I thought it would be! There was an actual storyline and beautiful and heavy message behind it. My jaw dropped when I conpleted the game!
The gameplay is so fun and unique. It’s so peaceful and honestly and anxiety reducer. It’s so fun setting up cameras and rolling through surveillance and recording data about these cute little creatures! (I’m not sure why other comments said they were struggling with controls, yes they’re a little finnicky when the screen locks on something but they’re bot terrible or inconvenient at all! It was actually quite easy to control…)
The only feedback I have for this game is this: There should be a freeplay mode after you complete the story so you can chase squirrels around without stopping and waiting through the stories! I would love to play this more!

Overall this is one of my favorite games ever! Definitely recommend!

so laggy and no direction

it sounds like a really nice calm fun game, but it was so laggy it was really hard to click on the things i needed. i also had a hard time trying to figure out what to do and where to go because there’s basically no directions. i spent so long just looking for the keys to the trailer, and i eventually just had to google it. i ended up having to google pretty much everything after that as well because it just doesn’t explain what to do. i had to give up in chapter two because i just had no idea where to set the second camera and google didn’t even help with that lol. i’ll definitely try it again if i see an update for it that addresses these issues.

For an iPhone game, absolutely amazing.

I’m giving this game five stars because from the perspective of an iPhone game it’s absolutely amazing. It has a beautiful story line that really immerses the person playing into the game. Overall it took me about 3 hours of off and on playing to finish. The only main complaint I have it that there’s no safe button.. if you’re playing a chapter make sure you don’t exit out if the app before it’s finished

Okay, let me review this game from a console/PC perspective.

If this were a console game I would actually enjoy it more and 100% buy the full version. There’s a few things like the save button, glitches, and an unclear direction on what to do next that would deter me

Overall an excellent game and for an iPhone app you can’t beat it
