Questions about the gameplay

[kiahrii]

I am currently on night 14 and I am still confused about a lot of things - Basically one of my pups already died cause I wasnt able to find food in time which made me cry cause I didnt know that this would happen :') So now i'm scared af cause My other 2 pups need food asap but no matter where I go, there are Humans around and I also didnt figure out yet how my pups learn skils? Cause all they can do for now is jumping and I dont even know what this is for... Did i miss things at the beginning? If yes, I am forced to restart the game?

You can restart if you feel like the worst mother in the world :V
And you can restart the day if it went too disastrous and try it again.

Foxies learn skills when you visiting special areas in the world, but they are somewhat hidden so you need to watch everywhere to find such area (nothing special is required for it - you just go and suddenly some mini-event happen with one of your cubs). There is an especially hard period somewhere in the first half of the game when there is barely any food left, so as long as you cannot snif any "clues" you better go home as soon as possible to not waste the "energy", but later in the game it will become much easier with all areas open.

P.S.- if your cubs are fully fed you can keep carrying food in your maw to feed them when they will be hungry, and you can bring food into the shelter for sleep and getting a cuter version of sleep scene.

also if the are dying of hunger you can pet them to gain some time

Make sure to explore the map and persue the scents when they are there. New areas equal more food so whenever you look at the map and see that an unexplored area has been unlocked, you may find some food there.

Don't be so sad, it was ur 1st playthrou and u were learning. U won't lose much time if u just restart and play better now u know how to play. If needed, play during the night looking around for food then restart the night going to other places. When a place is cleaned it takes some days for new food to be available there, so avoid going on the same place every night. And it's also important to save food and not waste feeding cups when they're fully fed.

In any way, the game is aimed to have a depressing feeling because it's about extinction, and they might die. So there needs to be some challenge, the game can't be easy as a walk in the park. The forest is dying and it's expected to be hard to find food. If that's what the challenge brought to u and u wanna keep immersed, sadly just have one more die :(

I haven't replayed it yet but I guess there's an ending for when all cups die, so at the worst u'll watch that ending. Then replay to watch another.
