About Shelter 3:
With so many mouths to feed, your journey will be a hard one. Use ancient knowledge to navigate through the world and discover new terrain and untrodden pathways, gaining wisdom as you do so.
Be aware that you will need to make hard choices along the way. In the wild, all living creatures are put to the test and as an elephant, you’re not a predator but prey. Be alert and gather your herd during times of danger. Your herd is your family, shelter is your only hope, and survival your only goal.
A Different Kind of Animal
Shelter 3 is a game where wisdom, empathy and leadership play an important role in your survival. Like its forebears, Shelter 3 invites you to inhabit the spirit of an animal. But where Shelter 2 centred on a lone lynx family, Shelter 3 lets you explore a different kind of animal existence as an elephant, where community is as important as family, and unity is key.
Landscapes and fauna are rendered in mesmerising patterns and scored with an enchanting soundtrack by Retro Family, conjuring a magical world to lose yourself in.
This new Shelter incarnation migrates to new territory and offers a new, magical experience that you won’t forget.
