Love it, idk where we are, are we in afghanistan?

my motorcycle exploded from the final boss...

This game is really fun, I enjoyed it alot, except for when I die. My favorite part is lockpicking, it kinda reminds me of Fallout 4

w-wuh!??! A.... furry game??!!??!??!?!? Oh dear heavens!!!! A furry game!!! Those exist?!?!

Really nice styling, and exploring the world is kinda my jam. Careful of the big explainer description here cause it might freak people out a bit from your game, it did for me till I played. Oh yea and the music is fitting

Yeah, thank you!
Oh,  alright

Really nicely stylized take on this kind of game!

Thank you! ^^

Where should I report any glitches or bugs?

(1 edit)

You can just put it here ^^

I did 2 runs, on the second one, when I rested in the middle of traveling,  the game showed it would use 1-2 food and water for the short rest I selected, but it sent my food and water to -700, which I somehow survived longer than the first run, but ended up dying from a heatstroke

Alright, I appreciate it
