We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat, weapons, or a broader action system may hit a wall at the rescue-focused objective.
- Players wanting extensive exploration or multiple missions may bounce off the single stated rescue journey.
- Players who do not want to use rapid hand and arm movements may stop at the guidance mechanic.
Our take on Scamper
The bounce point arrives when the rescue depends on quick hand and arm movements. Players expecting conventional controls, combat, or a larger mission structure may lose interest once the tunnel guidance objective becomes the central system.
What is Scamper?
Scamper places the player in the role of a rat whose fear response is tested.
The objective is to locate another rat in an unfamiliar environment and lead it to safety. Movement through the tunnel requires quick hand and arm motions to guide the lost animal. The game can be played alone or alongside other rats.
