Okay, this game deserves way more attention than it's getting. There's a right balance between spooky and cozy, the lore is, well, there, and you don't just hunt for creatures, but learn about them. Most importantly, the vibes are on point. I've only started playing, but it is already an obvious upvote. I did encounter some bugs (the character freezing and not responding), and controller support could use some improvement, but the bones of a good game are definitely showing. I'll be happy if it gets expanded.

This indie game has the ingredients and mechanics to be spectacular. I have played for just over three hours now and keep discovering neat little touches and mechanics. I would recommend for anyway looking for a relaxing slower paced quirky game! No spoilers here but the ideas put into this world are great! Worth a buy check it out.

Inexpensive and enjoyable game. It's not fleshed out but it's fun once you figure out what to do, you catch cryptids and put them in your zoo - there are quests, like repairing a spaceship and becoming a vampire hunter. It's not compatible with steamdeck, game will boot but you cant move past the language selection screen so I switched to my laptop and haven't encountered any bugs on there :)

This is such a charming game, very cosey-creepy! My new favorite activity is breeding hybrids and seeing what funky little guys I can make! Definitely recommend.

Did I enjoy this game? Yes. Did I buy it randomly? Kinda. Did I play it and then feel like content was not as high as I thought it would be? Yes. Was it fun? Yes... yeah... yeah. Did I finish it? No... because it glitched. I can not hatch any eggs. They just keep rising to millions of percent of "completion" so... yeah. Done here. I guess. Sadly.
