About the Game

A game where you live life through the eyes of a bear. Eat things, go on an adventure and discover things about your forest home.

  • Explore 7 different regions from the regular forest, to the mountain top or maybe take a long walk on the beach. But don't go to the Spooky Woods, none have braved that task and came out with their sanity intact.
  • Fight against an array of villainous creatures that dare try to stop your bear way of life, from the horrible bunny rabbit to the dreadful frog.
  • Find things to eat like bugs, mushrooms, plants or various bits of food left by humans. All of which increase your bear stats: Strength, Dive and Intelligence to name a few.
  • Collect cosmetics like hats, find curious things to decorate your den, discover strange and confusing bear beds. All very realistic bear behavior.
  • Discover secrets but keep them secret ya hear?!
  • View your bear through the Bear Face Cam. With it you can display your hats!
  • Read the markings left by other animals after upgrading your nose.
