Our take on Shelter
The defining structure is a family-survival journey in which a badger must keep its cubs fed while leading them through predators, fires, rivers, darkness, and starvation risk.
What is Shelter?
Shelter is an adventure game about a badger protecting its cubs in the wild.
The journey includes encounters with birds of prey, nighttime dangers, fierce rivers, forest fires, and the threat of starvation. Food is available, but there may not be enough for everyone. The cubs need food to survive and grow strong enough to face the challenges ahead. The game centers on a family traveling through a wilderness where survival is the main goal. Retro Family composed the soundtrack for this setting.
