The next Shelter game is a spin-off called Paws

I’m the baby, gotta love me

Might and Delight is continuing its animal adventure series with Paws, a new standalone game set in the “world of Shelter 2.” Instead of tending to lynx cubs as their mother, this time around, you are one. And it looks like you’ve got a little bear buddy tagging along on the journey.

“It’s a story about loss, friendship, and a search for lost love,” according to the studio. Which, hold on. Back it up. I can’t even watch The Fox and the Hound without getting emotional, and they both live in the end!

Unlike the last game, Paws is a “linear experience.” Do you have a preference?

It’s coming to Windows and Mac on March 24, 2016.
