Preview Thing: A Preview of Shelter

Yeah, I'm glad this coverage is on Giant Bomb but this is definitely not my kinda game.

I think it looks like a patchwork quilt. Like everything's made of a patterned bedspread.

Oh man, I felt really bad when the eagle thing happened. ):

Should have called it "Quick Look Ahead".

Slightly reminiscent of Okami, sans combat, perhaps? It's very organic, ambient, serene... almost spiritual. Tonally and atmospherically it harmonises with that game in my head.

Also Patrick, it would seem that you've got a knack for these solo previews/Quick Looks--especially with this peaceful, understated breed of game. It compliments your style of commentary, tone and general energy very well. I found this relaxing to watch, which typically isn't the first adjective that comes to mind when I'm consuming GB's output! There's a whole lotta melodiousness here.

I love those gentle guitar strums and badger cries. This is right up my alley. Thanks for choosing to show it off.

Also I found it to be a ton of fun when you asked 'us' a question, such as when you could hear the frog. Participating in that made me feel like a little nipper again, but not in a patronising way. And baby badgers are called cubs :)

I'd be more into this concept if I didn't have to be a badger. Some kind of big carnivore would be preferable.

This game looks very neat.

Looks like low polygons with higher texture res.

Also very nice microphone.

The minute Patrick lost one of his children, I was sold. This game has a really neat concept.

The closest thing the artstyle makes me think of is Windwaker.

I really like the patchwork ground and papercraft look of this game.

Man, I really enjoyed the commentary in this. Almost meditative at one point. More of these sorts of ones, Patrick!
