I loved this game. After completing Hidden Folks I started searching for a similar game and found this one. The reviews kind of threw me off, but I didn’t experience any of the glitches that other people complained of. It’s definitely shorter than I would have liked, but that could just be because I loved it so much and really wanted more levels/maps. I even paid the extra money for the “Viking” maps, which I especially loved. I just found a section in the menu that lets you play user-created levels though, which is exciting because it adds some extra content! I just love the game, bottom line! Hopefully someday they add another map or two. Or three.

Throughout the 4-5 hours it took me and my wife to play through this game together we found ourselves consistently smiling at all the subtle details of the levels, clicking various items to see what noises they would make or how they would react, and just temporarily losing ourselves in these small but lovingly crafted levels. This game could be beaten in a couple hours if you are only going from start to finish but I highly recommend savoring the small details.

I loved Hidden Folks and so I was excited to see that there was a similar hide and seek game with all of the cute quirkiness of HF. But then I got to the old west levels. Look, I get that the developer is from Belgium and likely only ever old westerns concepts of what Native Americans being murderous savages, instead of the true history that we understand here, in the United States. But c’mon, it’s 2020 for pete’s sake, and with the availability of thousands of resources across the internet, we have come to know better that racist stereotypes are not funny or cute. They’re damaging to actual people who’s families suffered for generations because of them. I sincerely hope that the developer does some much needed self-educating and removes these levels under future updates.
