Deer & Boy

Deer & Boy claims its rightful place in the Olympus of 2D adventures. The title brings to the table all those elements that made games like Limbo, Neva, and Planet of Lana great, while taking them to the absolute next level. The game offers a varied gameplay experience that evolves right along with the story. Although the environmental puzzles might not pose a major challenge for more experienced players, they truly shine in terms of design and are remarkably inspired. Deer & Boy places immense focus on the story it wants to tell, doing so by making plenty of room for colors, emotions, silences, hugs, and the fears of the two protagonists. The result is a thoroughly impressive debut for Lifeline Games.
