About Meadow:

Unlike traditional titles from the Shelter game series, in Meadow – A Shelter Game, the more time spent embracing the gameplay features in the world, the more you receive. Owning any previous Shelter related title(s) or products will also unlock in-game content. The open landscape also provides ample room for exploration. Band together with other animals, form alliances or choose to explore the world alone. Whatever you decide, the open world is one you will want to immerse yourself in.
Main features:
  • Play as any combination of animals on land, water or air in the largest expanse of land ever created for a Shelter game.
  • Communicate with other animals via specially created emotes, symbols and sounds.
  • Use your senses to discover, track and band together with other animals or choose to discover the world alone.
  • Visit the den to choose from up to 9 different animals. Modify your chosen animal with over 60 skins to create the animal you want to be.
  • Explore over 90 expressions and symbols to unlock.
  • New original music from Retro Family.
  • The more Shelter titles and products you own, the more bonuses you unlock.
Shelter products in Meadow
  • Owning any Shelter game will unlock the ability to play as that animal in Meadow (e.g. owning Shelter 2 unlocks the lynx, etc.).
  • Owning all games (no soundtracks or books included) will give you the possibility to play as the adorable bear cub from Paws – A Shelter Game.
  • Gain unique sound abilities if you own any combination of soundtracks from the Shelter-games.
  • Owning the interactive books from the Shelter-series will unlock unique 3-dimensional emotes.

I absolutely love this game and I think more people need to play this. If we got more people on, maybe the developers would spend more time thinking about this game. If anyone wants to message me on Instagram, I'll put together a Discord server for people who want to meet up and play! Instagram is DragonValor988

One of the most charming non-mmo MMOs i've ever played. I just REALLY wish people would still play it, the empty world paired with the meows or barks of the only, lonely animal in a world makes me quite sad.

This isn't really what I expected it to be, tbh. When I heard "Shelter but online" I was excited! Surviving in a vast forest, hiding from or banding together with other players, just surviving? it sounded fun! But that's not what this game is at all. There's no surviving elements, no dangers, no food or water needs, you can't even die even if you fell from a thousand meter mountain, or completely through the map in one of the various void holes they decided would be a great addition (whyyyy are there random giant holes in the map in the first place? It doesn't really make sense or look good)... So is this more of a social or roleplaying game then? Not really... There is emotes, and your animal of choice can make sounds, but it's often not clear enough to get a point across, or to make other people understand you. There's not even a normal chat function. Not to mention how clunky the game feels to play. The movements are stiff and rigid. There's not much to do either, you can find obelisks that can open up, but it needs certain animals to be close to it, and you're usually playing in an empty server. There's collectibles, but I'm not even sure what they are for. Buying new animals? …

very fun - one of those games where the movement and scenery is so pleasant to watch that you can do it for hours. and there's a simplicity in the communication that makes it challenging, yet less stressful - there's only so much you can say, so things are what they are. love this game.

This game is fun! You can play with your friends, make friends, or just run around and have fun! You unlock different animals as you go, and if you already have the shelter games, then you automatically unlock the some other animals! {Elephant calf, Badger mom, Lynx.} GET THIS GAME
