[h1]FoxMania: The Quest To Review All Fox Games On Steam![/h1] [i]Conditions for inclusion: [list] [*] -The player character must be consistently a fox; the fox must not be merely a skin or a character option [*] -Must have 100% working Steam achievements [*] -Must not be a visual novel [/list][/i] [b]Game #35: Harmony in the Wild[/b] You’re a young fox who gets washed up on the shore of an island with some kind of magical imbalance. The north half of the island is winter, the south half is summer, and there’s some kind of a spirit tree growing in the middle to maintain balance. As you explore the island and rescue the tree’s guardians, the tree will heal itself, or something. The game’s marketing advertises that you can switch between being a red fox and a snow fox, but it’s just an automatic animation that plays whenever you cross to the other side of the island, and has no impact on gameplay. Unfortunately, I would call this a shovelware game. This feels like a game that had a solid premise, and some good preliminary design and art put in, but it feels like they greatly underestimated the development effort, waited until the deadline was looming, and thre…

If you're looking for a cozy indie game with a good soundtrack that is stream-friendly, this is the kind of game for you. However, something I should mention, although it doesn't officially support controllers, it does in game with instructions in game on how to play the game with a controller which is recommended for movement and platforming. One negative I will give the game though is that there are sometimes bugs in the game that will prevent you from progressing without reloading the game. I found that out while recording my lets play of the game.

A really soothing and cool experience. You relax after a hard day at work, and unwind in the beautiful scenery this game provides. Through its simple but effective approach, Harmony in the Wild manages to provide a fun and playful experience. The characters are cute and entertaining to interact with. The soundtrack is one of the best highlights, serving as a perfect background for this dreamy adventure, and the well curated sound design allows you to immerse yourself in the world even more.

The game is extremely wonky, I played it until the end because "foxes", but was expecting a much better expeience than what I got. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this game.

Ok, this is a cute game however it got problems. The main problems being the abilities, they're pointless. You never need them in the open world area, except once for the wolf. There are no breakable rocks for secret passages, no ice walls to scale, and nothing that needs you to freeze it to create a bridge or stairs to get anywhere in the open map. Useless, and on top of that the end boss sequence is just the same trails you went through. Also some of the abilities should have been automatic, like the sensing ghost/objects you get from the owl. I shouldn't have to go around clicking it nonstop, it should have been automatic based on my character range to an object. Secondly, the npc constant spamming their dialogue after a failed attempt in the trials and boss fight was so frustrating and annoying. The npc out on the map wew pointless too, there no point in talking to any of them as they all say pretty much the same thing. The owl was the exception and you feel like you're suppose to go get his ghost family and as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything but waste your time. I found 4 ghost owl, brother, cousin, aunt and grandpa and when I return to the owl nothing happen. Point…

Very enjoyable and relaxing game with adventure packed story for all age groups. And on top of that very cute main character with mysterious skills! Try it and love it! :D
