Our take on Squirreled Away
The defining detail is squirrel-based traversal: climbing through a park’s trees and jumping from branch to branch forms the central way of exploring the setting.
What is Squirreled Away?
Squirreled Away is an adventure game set in a large urban park, where players move as squirrels by climbing trees, crossing lawns, and jumping between branches.
Exploration includes gathering materials, finding hidden items, and crafting tools, toys, and home decorations. Players can create custom treehouses among the treetops and interact with park residents through stories and quests. The game supports solo play or cooperative sessions with up to four friends. Its structure focuses on open-ended park exploration, crafting, treehouse building, and friendly encounters rather than survival pressure. A relaxing atmosphere, hand-crafted environments, and a soothing soundtrack accompany the squirrel’s movement through the park.
