ABOUT THIS GAME

You are a mother groundhog* trying to raise your babies to adulthood while simultaneously seeking revenge on a coyote who killed your own mother. Give your babies a better life than the bleak one forced upon you, and bring justice to your mortal enemy.

*Not a beaver, gopher, capybara, wombat, hedgehog, squirrel, muskrat, otter, raccoon, or any other type of animal.

SURVIVE AND PROTECT

Your babies are initially quite young and do not venture far from your home burrow, but you must gather food and resources for survival. Use your high pitched whistle* to alert your babies of danger when you spot a predator, and they will run into the burrow for safety. Fight enemies or avoid them as best you can.

*Hence, the nickname "whistle pig".

SEEK REVENGE

Use your little groundhog brain and the help from your friends to outsmart an animal much larger, faster, and more ferocious than yourself. Fortunately for you, coyotes are largely nocturnal, while groundhogs are not. Tread carefully with your scheming though, or it could cost you your own life or the lives of your offspring.

CONNECT WITH OTHERS

As your babies grow, get to know each of their unique personalities and strengthen the bonds of your family. Talk with other groundhogs and even other species of animals to build unique friendships, exchange culture, and foster a sense of belonging. Be careful though, as not everyone you meet will want to be your friend. You get to choose who you interact with and how you interact with them.

EXPLORE THE WORLD

A few square kilometers is a big place when you're a groundhog. Though you may never see the other side of that highway, there are many unique places to explore, including the meadowlands surrounding your burrow, a lush forest, a farm full of vegetables and fruits, a swamp full of frogs, and much more. Collect interesting items as you explore, and bring them back home to decorate your burrow or give to friends.
