im a king at this game ask me questions
so:
you're an innocent slugcat that runs around in a free world where you can do anything you want, the game is deep like a fucking ocean and it has a HUGE list of shit you can do like holy fuck man it's insane.
the game has super advanced AI and it's so advanced that for example if you fuck with a tribe of scavengers they'll remember it but if you help them one of them may still hold a grudge or one might still like you etc. if you save a predator's life it might come back and save you from one of their kind etc.
your main goal is to get food and find shelter before the BONE CRUSHING AMOUNTS OF RAIN come and fuck you up, you can either hunt for food or eat fruit, eating solely fruit or meat for a few cycles (hibernation in a shelter during rain) will give you an achievement and a passage (fast travel to a shelter)
you are in an ecosystem, there are many things you can eat but there are BIGGER, MORE DANGEROUS predators that want to eat you, some more vicious than others. the main predator youll be facing is lizards, lizards come in like 10 colors each with their own differences:
pink/purples are fucking smart AND CAN CLIMB AFTER YOU BOY, pink ones can climb better but purple ones are smart and will ambush you (they can sit on a ledge and drop on you when you pass under or even hide in a tunnel waiting for you to pass through).
green ones are super beefy but kind of lazy and dumb, red ones are fucking MONSTERS that spit shit at you, can climb, and are semi-invincible (they only appear if you stay in one area for too long and hunt its life). white lizards are sneaky chameleons with a huge tongue that snatches you and u ded. black lizards have no eyes but hear you and have huge whiskers that you're fucked if you touch. oranges lizards are pack/pack leaders and can "metacommunicate" if one sees you the entire pack will know, and oranges dont cannibalize or attack each other. rival colors tend to fight alot and even same colors.
lizards can be tamed if you save their lives or feed them flying squidcada things or even other lizards or natives (scavengers) once you tame them they are super cute and follow you around, kill shit for you and sleep with you in your shelter.
then there are huge fucking vultures that swoop in and kill you/lizards. lizards are shit scared of these and white chameleon lizards are the fastest to run from them. (hint: you can actually kill vultures and i've done it before but you gotta be fast and robust or you need scavengers (natives) to help you.
once you kill a vulture take its mask and use it as a shield, everything will be scared of you (except green and red lizards and leviathans)
then there are huge fucking leviathans that breach the water and swallow vultures whole (i wont spoil this)
all lizards have a glowing head (except blacks) that is immune to attacks you have to throw spears at their body (trick them to climbing up then jump and throw midair)
the game has really advanced ai and you can parkour the shit out of a map, everything living in the game has soft body physics
there are also 20 really creepy types of predators i didnt mention here in order to not spoil things
the game is divided into 12 huge regions that you are free to explore as you wish, there is actually lore but you have to do a really meticulous thing where you take one tiny hard to find easy to loose item across the entire game to a place to learn ONE bit of lore so i dont bother.
oh yeah you can tame the vultures too
good luck.
