Disclaimer: The currently public version of Bushside Rangers: Chapter 1 is the original version released on 26th March, 2025. As such, it does not reflect the quality of the upcoming Chapter 1 Overhaul, set to release in 2026.

SURVIVE THE HORRORS OF THE DESOLATE LAND.

Bushside Rangers® is a first-person survival horror game that forces you to use your wits as you navigate through the dark, dreary depths of an abandoned nature park.

ABOUT

Play as the reluctant Vera, a young teen who breaks into the abandoned Bushside Rangers Nature Park to figure out what truly happened to cause its closure five years prior. Since you last visited, nature has reclaimed its territory, leaving only tainted memories of what once was. And yet after all of that, the parks' mascots are somehow still roaming around... and they are starving.Journey deeper and deeper into the park as you desperately try to find a way out, scavenge for and manage your resources effectively, and defend yourself against the parks' many residents. It's a fight for survival, and you have to hope to god that you can truly escape.

FEATURES:

  • As you explore the desolate park, you'll be able to discover new areas or revisit places you've already been. The park is your oyster, explore it to your hearts content but be cautious...
  • Endure horrific encounters with the park's mascots, once spectacles to behold but now reduced to nothing but monsters that lurk around every corner, looking for you... starving...
  • In-depth stealth and combat system; Swing and block your way to freedom, or sneak past bloodthirsty enemies that are looking for you at every turn.
  • Plenty of collectables and achievements scattered throughout the game to quench the thirst of lore hunters or completionists. Be sure to keep a keen eye out on anything you may find!

Puzzles so dull and chases so bland I couldn't even bother to finish. I had hope for this game but after getting the radio thing it just all got dull insanely fast. After seeing the chase sequences I decided the game was not worth playing, as it just started to feeling like a puppet combo game. (Not a good thing.)

I ended up getting chased by Chester, who basically looks like Harambe's freaky chef cousin.

Initially it seems to be inspired by Poppy's Playtime and Indigo Park. However, after playing beyond the first couple puzzles and being introduced to the first enemy, the game becomes a series of run, hide, and solve the same "puzzle" over and over and over again (this puzzle has no complexity, no challenge, is mostly waiting, and takes way too long). Very little difference from room to room. Huge lack of creativity, character building, suspense, and story. The "fear factor" used is just very loud and sudden sounds. Unpolished with a lot of things seeming out of place (floating flora, random cave-ins, the service tunnel to the tram) I do like; Idea for the foes, but the presentation is poor. Lighting, notably the reflected light off of certain surfaces. Color schemes. General concept. Overall, do not recommend while noting there is potential with the concept. A different approach, cleaner layout, and differently designed foes (more exaggerated, better animations, more build up and lore), would make this game really standout.
