Beware the eagle!

Shelter, a unique exploration and survival game that lets you experience the wonders and hardships of an animal life in a beautiful surrounding of the colorful virtual forest, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 for the first week!

For many of us, the most appealing part of gaming is the ability to see the world from a different perspective, and experience a life much different from our own. For the most part, games take us to different universes to achieve that. When you think about it, though, there's a whole different world neighboring the realm of humans: the animal kingdom. To us, each forest is an undiscovered land that we'll never be able to explore and understand in full. To do that, one would have to be able to look at it through the eyes of an animal. Breathe in all the fascinating scents, follow all of its hidden paths, feel the moist dirt beneath your clawed paws--experience the life of a forest critter. Not many games explore this fascinating setting. This one does, and it does it beautifully!

Shelter lets you roam the wild as a mother badger, taking care of her jaunty little cubs. The wild is beautiful and bountiful, but don't take Mother Nature's generosity for granted, and don't feel too confident. You'll need to explore your surroundings in search of water, food, and safe haven, while constantly keeping an eye out for the lurking predators. Danger waits at every step, especially for your furry children. Hunger, cold, and death--that's what the fate has in store for them, if you don't tend to them properly. Terrifying as it may sound, the game's beautiful graphics and meditative soundtrack by Retro Family will grant you many moments of awe and relaxed bliss.

Into the wild, friends! If you like unique gaming experiences, get Shelter for only $8.99 on GOG.com. The release 10% discount offer lasts until Wednesday, September 4, at 9:59AM GMT.

Tarhiel: You might´ve forgotten about Miasmata form last year :)
Miasmata's more of an exploration game tho. The survival aspects are quite shallow.

Great game! Pity I can't stand alphas and I have to wait for a decent version.
Never heard of this, but the scenario and art style genuinely intrigued me, so I decided to give it a go.

So far I've only been through the first level, but it's been quite beautiful and unique and I'm genuinely excited about seeing the rest of it.
Looks extremely interesting and I want to experience it some day. Definately wishlisted.
I want to buy this, looks really great but I'm afraid I might just start crying when the kids are napped by birds or when forest goes into flames.
Badgers need a rocket launcher to handle the eagle :P

Interesting choice of game :)

I'd rather play as Badger from Breaking Bad, preferably while high on meth (in the game, of course)
Very good release.

Awesome. I had written this game off from my 'must have' list seeing as most of the early info was about it being Steam. So i am one happy badger seeing it here on GoG. Awesome work gog guys in getting this gem :)

For those not familiar with it RPS (rock paper shotgun) have been running a long running series of articles on it that are well worth your time to read:

Don't think badgers eat foxes...do they?
