Raise your badger children in Might and Delight’s Shelter

Early gameplay footage

Life as a mother badger doesn’t strike me as something that would be particularly easy, but conflict sure does make for an interesting story. Pid developer Might and Magic is going where no one to my knowledge has gone before with Shelter, a Windows and Mac game due out this year.

This has been referred to as a third-person adventure title — one that’s “very much under development.” I kept expected to see “survival” come up, but it’s curiously nowhere to be found. What Shelter might lack in visual fidelity is made up for by its sound design and music. I’m so glad someone is exploring unlikely concepts such as this; what a contrast to more mainstream themes.
