Shelter 2 (2015)
Explore nature as a lynx and raise your cubs in the brutal, but beautiful, tundra. About Shelter 2 : Be on your guard, because you are both predator and prey. Feed your cubs and keep them safe and enjoy those precious moments of peace and tranquillity whenever you can. But also remember that your own survival is the only thing that will guarantee theirs. Shelter 2 features more elaborate gameplay features than its predecessor and includes gameplay features such as stamina, movements, jumps and a variety of prey to hunt. Besides hunting skills, there are also maternal features such as calling the cubs closer, sniffing out prey, drinking water from rivers and lifting and carrying your cubs from harm’s way. A vast wilderness awaits The environments in Shelter 2 are significantly much larger than those in its predecessor, offering more freedom than ever before and allowing you to find favourite spots in which to return. In the game world, weather and seasons change - harsh winters and blooming summers await you. The music is created by Retro Family, awarded for their work on the Pid Soundtrack, and the visuals have been reinvented by adding dense atmosphere and lighting to the patterned graphical art style.
