Plot

Player takes on the role of a boy who runs away from home after a traumatic experience. During the journey he meets and tames a deer. This unusual pair will experience numerous adventures together and will face many dangers. At the same time all these experiences will strengthen the boy, allowing him to heal the wounds in his soul and gain strength before entering adulthood.

Mechanics

Deer & Boy is a 2.5D platform game. Graphics is in 3D, but the game takes place in two dimensions. During the gameplay, the player moves to the right side of the screen, avoiding dangers and collecting items. The game has strong adventure elements. Overcoming many of the obstacles and challenges requires cleverness rather than dexterity, forcing us to solve logic puzzles.

At first, we have to deal with each challenge alone, and the deer is just a helpless companion. With time, however, the animal begins to grow and becomes not only a valuable helper, useful in many puzzles, but also a protector of the boy.

Game modes

Deer & Boy offers a single player mode only.

Technical aspects

The strong point of the game is the artwork. Deer & Boy makes a big impression with beautifully designed characters and locations and smooth animation.
