About the Game

Experience the wild as a badger sheltering your cubs from harm. On your journey, you will be stalked by birds of prey, encounter perils of the night, cross fierce rivers, escape forest fires and face the looming threat of starvation. Food is to be found, but is there enough for everyone?

Your cubs need food to survive and to become strong enough to overcome the challenges they face as they make their way through the world.

Are you ready for a truly different adventure, something that might evoke feelings you've never felt in a game before? In the wild, all living creatures are put to the test. The question in the end is who will survive to live another day?

Retro Family have composed a beautiful soundtrack to an original and graphically innovative game world. In the wilderness, shelter is your only hope and survival your only goal.
