Alright. So, old 1games fan here. That baby deer attacking you was actually a player. Life of deer was actually an online game. I originally thought they were NPCs too, but once I tried to interact with another player through spinning with them, they'd actually respond similarly to what I was doing. Not in an AI replicating the player way, if that makes sense. But it also is kind of obvious once you start to consider how only the players have healthbars and that particular deer model. When I was younger, that game was like a cute goofy story game to me. It was the game that introduced me to 1games. I'm a huge nerd for this kinda stuff, this video was a nice little memory refresher :3c If you ever document the history of 1games community shennanegains, I'd love to see it because the community was and still is goofy)
@Foxgurloli YEAA, maps are shared rooms which you dip in and out of, it's just the quests that change. Players all are at different points in gameplay hence why the models are sometimes adults or babies but they all look the same otherwise. The NPCs present in these maps are client sided though I think? I don't recall ever seeing bunnies/npc deer chasing other player deer but that may just be because I haven't witnessed it happen or because I forgot.
@@IAMINYOURFLOORS thats pretty comedic lol, the player controlling the baby deer had exquisite timing because it really does add to the plot of the story, that being the baby deer being angry at you for taking it's father, the same way you were angry at the hyenas and tiger for taking your own father
EXACTLY!! when I went back to play life of deer for nostalgia, I noticed that the other deer didn’t act like npcs. Infact, rather differently. When I was little I thought they were just weird when they were infact players, it makes the game even more interesting!
I remember crying at the ending when i was little.I always thought that the deer died at the end and they were reunite in heaven,at least,that was my interpretation of the ending.
im actually pretty sure thats exactly what happened. they are all reuinited in heaven, and the player deer feeling exhausted and tired while fighting the tiger is them, sadly, dying.

The “baby wolf” we see when helping “father wolf” fight the hyenas looks just like the “kitten” we follow as a faun. My theory is that the kitten we see as a faun is actually supposed to be a wolf pup (but for some reason looks like a cat), and that the “father wolf” is the same small animal we had followed when we were younger. With how much time had passed, both of us would have changed significantly. I loved playing this game, and it honestly made me a bit emotional at the end.
@@Foxgurloli I mean, we’ve seen throughout the game that their animals aren’t very uh.. accurate? So maybe it’s just a mistake. Like how the Elk forest god was actually a moose, or that the unicorn had wings, or that the maybe-wolf was a kitten. Loved the video!
@@Addyfox2012 yes, my point exactly. in the game it was titled as a “unicorn”, yet it had wings like an alicorn. therefore making it inaccurate alongside some of the other creatures.

Oh Deer... Why is this Game such an Emotional Rollercoaster? 😭 But it's really sweet, and idk why but i Always feel Comfort when i See those blurry, realistic textures, anyway awesome Video! ^^
I remember sobbing violently as a kid whenever I reached the end of this game. It was so depressing to me, and i still find it a bit sad. I kind of wish there were more newer animal story games like this, because despite the poor quality of 1Games' games they were certainly very unique and special. Wild Animals Online holds a special place in my heart despite how much it fell down. We'll probably never have anything similar to it, or anything made by 1games tbh. There aren't many animal-centered games with such a realistic style that aren't about survival Anyway, I want to thank you for making this video. It's rare to see people talk about these games now.

It'd be cool if you talked about any other game from 1Games in general Also, I want to point out that throughout the game you could find other players for some reason. I always found it so weird but I think it's cool now, even if you can't interact with them
I love this kind of content it’s so hard finding good animal mobile games. Please make more content on this kind of topic like “hidden gems of mobile animal games”
Played this game when I was younger as well as Life Of A Black Tiger. The thing is, I didn't know English very well at that time, so I barely understood the story. What I did was make up all of it in my head based on things that were happening and ended up making myself cry playing it hahaha. Never knew what the games were actually about. Dramatic made up version stayed in my memory.
I played this a lot as a little kid. My interpretation is that the deer died fighting the tiger. But our last thoughts were of the "good ol days" before our parents died, when we were happy, the sense of nostalgia even. The deer thinks of his life so far and after remembering it all, he takes his final breath and dies.
I literally loved this game as a kid!!! I would always cry at the end lolol- I’ve even made characters based on it because of how much I loved it as a kid!!! Thank you so much for bringing it to light, all of the videos I can find are old gameplays so I haven’t had much luck with content! 😅
This was one of big first introductions to plot, and I remember basically just coping off the plot to write my own story. I'm so surprised to see someone make a video about this, love it!
I remember playing “life of wolf 2014”, it had a similar kind of plot about getting revenge bc ur mate was killed, or something. I ate up most of 1games’ library. The one that stuck with me the most was “puppyworld online” or something… that one was really seedy ._. I remember one of the quests was to go over and mount a girl dog, and there were these weird asset-flipped cat monsters that ran after you! If they got you, your puppy would be in a cage and then transported to these weird hell dungeon levels 😭 will never forget that one for as long as i live
HOLY MOLY I REMEMBER THAT GAME!!!!! I always wanted to find it again but didn't remember what it was called q.q that game scared me so bad when I was little, I did NOT go into the cute puppy game expecting there to be enormous monsters that go after me!!
I know nobodies gonna see this, or at least barely anyone, but this was my childhood. I only ever left Life of Deer because there was a certain point I didn't know what do in. I loved this game, and I still love it despite not playing it.
Hey, I know this game!!! 1Games was my favorite studio EVER when I was younger. I played every one of their games loyally, to the extent that I created and owned the Wild Animals Online Amino. (It’s a small claim, yes, but how big can it really get?) I’m so happy to see someone making a video about one of their games. Obviously there were others playing the games, but I never knew they had any staying power in anyone else’s memory!
I swear these low quality phone games always have the highest quality writing ever. This and infinity blade amongst many others im sure are looked down on because they are on mobile. Sure they’re a little bit jank but I’ve always been a gameplay over graphics guy. People don’t really care about writing in games nowadays. Shame you can’t play a lot of them anymore. Instant subscription
OH MY HOD. i wanted to make a video on this game but never got to it thank you SO SO MUCH for bringing it to light there’s something so fucking creepy about that ending. the vengeful basic english, the silent final level, the photo of the deer family…. and then the game just booting you back to the home screen when you beat it. life of deer is a game i grew up with and i literally will never forget it
One of the most fever dream games i ever played, amazingly confusing, I only remember the moose and unicorn making dolphin sounds now before this video lol
Those "dolphin" noises you hear are actually elk noises! Elk make some super creepy sounds. They're amazing animals, and while moose are terrifying in their own league, the elk is terrifying in it's own right! Look it up, it gives me goose bumps
oh my god i used to play life of tiger so much. the huge black tiger model jumpscared me it was like i was yanked back into childhood so violently. i love how many of the stories ended up including such simple missions that ultimately led to revenge and tragedy. it was perfect. i loved it so much. the tiger game was always my favorite. i liked feeling evil.

another oli ravioli banger, im not even gonna lie i started crying while watching this, this is such a beautiful interpretation of the story, now i wanna go hug my mom... thank you oli, i look forward to your next video!!!
What a nostalgia trip- you just unlocked so many core memories for me. I played so many of these games as a kid- 1games and glutenfreegames were really up there for me, among others. Loved animal games. I've only ever been reminded of these games a handful of times due to recognizing common store-bought or free assets used for these games, like those old ass wolf models. Or certain sound effects. I might have to revisit these some day.. thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Thank you for sharing this game with us!! Honestly, I spent the whole vid thinking this was some sort of ARG or an original creation of yours. So many of the screen caps, wording, and visuals are honestly downright chilling and morbid... Def not something I'd expect from a real mobile animal sim. Played a lot of em growing up and I wish I had played this one too :)
I remember playing eagle simulator, wolf sim online, this kitten simulator but seems like I never played this one! It still feels very nostalgic and I love the way you narrated the story. I find the blurry pictures with the texts pretty scary ngl, would have been scared of as a child, or not haha, we later on realize how weird some things might have been in the past. Moreover the sound design is very striking. Thanks for introducing this game to me!! 😊
This game was so wacky…I remember there being a game like it called Life of Wolf that I couldn’t play because when I switched to an iphone it broke one of the buttons. I love these games anyways. That wind whooshing sound brings back so many memories.
I like how they made the game end because it makes the player think of what the ending COULD be instead of giving a solid answer, it leaves the viewer to think and make their own ending which often leaves us more happy with the outcome. Overall 11/10!! would recommend if I wanna make someone cry:)
Oh my God. I remember that game! I was so surprised to see someone talking about it, and it was one of my favorites. I don't remember exactly, but my phone kept crashing and I never saw the end. Before I watch your video, I'll see if I can find a way to change that. If not, I'll come back; thank you so much for bringing back my childhood
i played wolf online 1 and 2 all the time growing up!! definitely wasn't the best thing developmentally with all of the rude hackers and creeps on there, but the game was fun to play solo!! i was always a lone wolf lol
I used to love this game when i was little. Im happy someone made a video on it! This game was so ahead of its time and cinetamic and in a way that most games werent back then Also those images with the animals and the text below it are much creepier than i remember, my gosh
I used to play the all the time when I was younger, it made me so sad and somehow felt so lonely. Coming back to it today is something I would’ve never even imagined haha, thank you did the video and memories!
waittt the unintentional(?) cliffhanger ending at the end KINDA genious tho likeeee..... it attracts ppl to theorize & conclude their own ending themselves. W game fr 💯
1Games is pure nostalgia to me. Not necessarily jovial, but more so longing for a more innocent time kind of nostalgia, y'know? I still miss the innocence of just goofing off, talking to people, so on. I still think of the people I've met on online mobile games. Wildcraft (of which is still on my tablet!), the entirety of 1Games, simulators like that. So much has happened since then, and I still remember being freaking Galxy the lynx on Wildcraft, or Blueberry the blue compsognathus on Dinosaurs online - and I miss those days. I didn't have to worry about anything except for schoolwork then, and life felt so simple. If anyone remembers meeting someone like that feel free to reply and say hi. ^^
i used to play these games ALL THE TIME! WAO (Wild animals online) was actually very popular, and they created Life of Deer and Life of Deer 2 and Wild zombies online which also corresponded with WAO servers. The games were... low quality at the most but it still was lovely. and things called POS which were exploited point farmers were EVERYWHERE. if you befriended someone with one of those, then you were basically set on that game lmao. Life of Deer i've now just realized is... scary, and sad tbh. the graphics fill me with a nostalgic feeling almost.
I used to play dog simulator by rocket games on my iPad in the app store. and my favorite thing to do in game was to take my dog family to the highest mountain to watch the sunset. I never knew why. but it was fun.
I used to play this game all the time, it's my all time favorite next to Life of Leopard and Life of The Black Tiger! Thank you for covering this amazing game, I hope you cover the other Life Of games to!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Yo me and my friends used to be obsessed with these “simulator” mobile games! This definitely reminded me of back then lol. I played the dragon sim and raptor sim mostly. This one was kinda beautiful tho. A hidden gem for sure.
thank you for posting a video about this game; i was really into animals as a kid and i would play this game over and over when i couldnt find any other ones i liked on the app store. im pretty sure it's gone, now, but im glad that im not the only one who remembers it.
Hi Oli, I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and I really love your videos! I love the childhood games ones! I relate to them all even if I'm really young. Please never give up posting :)
(Haha second comment I love this video so much) This game in a way feels so eerie, especially since it stands out so much from other 1games games. Especially the little complete task things. Such an interesting game.
YAAA OLI POSTED [HAPPY] (I've honestly rlly needed this I've been under sm stress because I've been unknowingly gr00med by one of my now ex friends for five years so seeing this pop up on my notifications made me get excited I love your videos sm oli!)
you know i think i mightve played this? but i dont think i ever finished it. its nice to see how the story went after all this time, thank you for this!
My cousin. I think. Showed me this game. I dont remember much. I think i was 7 or something , i dunno. But... I thought it was cool. So i downloaded it. The game was, sadly, never able to work on my tablet. Either that or, i just didnt understand the game enough to actually play. I always... Just felt... Like the game was off. It was that feeling of old minecraft. The lighting was just a little too bright. The animations were just a little too hurried. Off. I still loved the game. I just.. Never got to experience it. So thank you. Thank you for this dive into this amazing game. This really resonates with me.
amazing vid 10000% wholesome! i played this game back then and i must agree, it was a very beautiful and deep experience to have! one of 1Games best games ever! i'm super happy to have someone still talking about it to this day! about the ending,,, it could depict one of those 3 options: Dream Theory (the one you quoted on the video, self-explanatory: the game itself, was nothing more than a dream, fruit of our imagination, a cool interpretation! Heaven Theory (quoted aswell, very philosophical): we (the player) are defeated by the 'Final Boss' known as the Tiger, and wake up in heaven by our mother and father's side. This theory could be enforced by the fact that, at the end, there are no other deer present! except our parents and ourselves, no one in sight on the mini-map at 13:21. Cycle Theory (my personal favorite-): we (the player) are seeing things after a timeskip to the future, and the fawn that we 'finish' the game with, is in reality, our son/daughter >> think about it, there are two adult deer walking with us, and one of them closely resembles our character (after we grow), after the fight with the Tiger, we could have won! So we continued life normally, till we became a father ourselves! (the reason there's no one else in sight on the map, could be that maybe we are walking by a empty field, and exploring together or smth else, IMA STOP YAPPING NOW JSJSJJ-)
ahh, this was such a cool video, i used to be obsessed with animal simulators, so discovering like.. a mildly weird/odd one like this is super neat (kinda gives Endless Forest vibes) ! I played a remastered version of this today, since when i was looking for it i wasn't able to find an original (??). the storyline was the same, though, only real notable differences were in the models (general model changes, baby deers looking the same, the kitten was an armadillo instead, the unicorn had a really cool, sickle shaped horn and no wings, etc) the map seemed different too, a looot of the areas were mostly wooded and dark, the 'scary' area seemed to just be an elevated path along some steep, forest-y hills. probably not super interesting stuff but i really wanted to yap about my experience because this game is just, really fascinating to me, lol, i initially thought that the end was either a dream as well, or we were continuing our journey as the previous player deer's child, either way, i do genuinely love the vague, open ended-ness of it all!
Omg I remember playing this, I had cried so much over it. It made me realize just how much damage humans do to wildlife and also that revenge won’t get you anywhere, definitely was one of my favorites
Ah yes my favorite North American animals. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, hyenas and hippos.

I know nobodies gonna see this, or at least barely anyone, but this was my childhood. I only ever left Life of Deer because there was a certain point I didn't know what do in.
I loved this game, and I still love it despite not playing it.
Hey, I know this game!!!
1Games was my favorite studio EVER when I was younger. I played every one of their games loyally, to the extent that I created and owned the Wild Animals Online Amino. (It’s a small claim, yes, but how big can it really get?)
I’m so happy to see someone making a video about one of their games. Obviously there were others playing the games, but I never knew they had any staying power in anyone else’s memory!
I swear these low quality phone games always have the highest quality writing ever. This and infinity blade amongst many others im sure are looked down on because they are on mobile. Sure they’re a little bit jank but I’ve always been a gameplay over graphics guy. People don’t really care about writing in games nowadays. Shame you can’t play a lot of them anymore. Instant subscription
OH MY HOD. i wanted to make a video on this game but never got to it thank you SO SO MUCH for bringing it to light
there’s something so fucking creepy about that ending. the vengeful basic english, the silent final level, the photo of the deer family…. and then the game just booting you back to the home screen when you beat it. life of deer is a game i grew up with and i literally will never forget it
Babe wake up Oli Ravioli posted about an obscure mobile game again
15:46 Heh, enDEERing? (Really good video 100/10)
LMAO!!
One of the most fever dream games i ever played, amazingly confusing, I only remember the moose and unicorn making dolphin sounds now before this video lol
Those "dolphin" noises you hear are actually elk noises! Elk make some super creepy sounds. They're amazing animals, and while moose are terrifying in their own league, the elk is terrifying in it's own right! Look it up, it gives me goose bumps
oh my god i used to play life of tiger so much. the huge black tiger model jumpscared me it was like i was yanked back into childhood so violently. i love how many of the stories ended up including such simple missions that ultimately led to revenge and tragedy. it was perfect. i loved it so much. the tiger game was always my favorite. i liked feeling evil.
oh my god that's a name I never thought I'd hear again. I remember playing this game yeaaarsss ago and honestly never expected a whole video on it

another oli ravioli banger, im not even gonna lie i started crying while watching this, this is such a beautiful interpretation of the story, now i wanna go hug my mom... thank you oli, i look forward to your next video!!!
What a nostalgia trip- you just unlocked so many core memories for me. I played so many of these games as a kid- 1games and glutenfreegames were really up there for me, among others. Loved animal games. I've only ever been reminded of these games a handful of times due to recognizing common store-bought or free assets used for these games, like those old ass wolf models. Or certain sound effects. I might have to revisit these some day.. thanks for the trip down memory lane!
still waiting for gluten free games to make an ultimate dragon sim 2🙏
Thank you for sharing this game with us!! Honestly, I spent the whole vid thinking this was some sort of ARG or an original creation of yours. So many of the screen caps, wording, and visuals are honestly downright chilling and morbid... Def not something I'd expect from a real mobile animal sim. Played a lot of em growing up and I wish I had played this one too :)
@@leloup9420 It’s definitely got a eerie loneliness to it
I remember playing eagle simulator, wolf sim online, this kitten simulator but seems like I never played this one! It still feels very nostalgic and I love the way you narrated the story. I find the blurry pictures with the texts pretty scary ngl, would have been scared of as a child, or not haha, we later on realize how weird some things might have been in the past. Moreover the sound design is very striking. Thanks for introducing this game to me!! 😊
@@cleli_cartoons Of course!! Thank you so much for commenting your experience! 😊
Oh God I remember playing a similar game which was about the life of the black tiger 😭 the nostalgia from these type of games is insaneee
Life of Black Tiger is my Roman empire fr
@@geministrial950 REAAAL IT HAD SUCH A SAD ENDING FROM WHAT I REMEMBER
"One last video before i sleep."
THE VIDEO😭:
the nostalgia this just unlocked is crazy
1games was my childhood! I remember spending countless hours on dinos online or WAO 😭 this is such a throwback. Your channel is a blessing
This game was so wacky…I remember there being a game like it called Life of Wolf that I couldn’t play because when I switched to an iphone it broke one of the buttons. I love these games anyways. That wind whooshing sound brings back so many memories.
you just unlocked my entire childhood. I faintly remember playing this
1games games were a large part of my childhood!! Tysm for sharing this game with others :)
i remember me and my little sister playing this game. it was unlike every other animal simulator ive played and the story is beautiful
I like how they made the game end because it makes the player think of what the ending COULD be instead of giving a solid answer, it leaves the viewer to think and make their own ending which often leaves us more happy with the outcome. Overall 11/10!! would recommend if I wanna make someone cry:)
Oh my God. I remember that game! I was so surprised to see someone talking about it, and it was one of my favorites. I don't remember exactly, but my phone kept crashing and I never saw the end. Before I watch your video, I'll see if I can find a way to change that. If not, I'll come back; thank you so much for bringing back my childhood
i played wolf online 1 and 2 all the time growing up!! definitely wasn't the best thing developmentally with all of the rude hackers and creeps on there, but the game was fun to play solo!! i was always a lone wolf lol
I knew it was a matter of time till someone talked about this niche side of mobile games
your voice is so calming , kinda like a narrator for a kids show , i lowk like it.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it ❤️
your voice and the video remind me of the gaming channels i used to watch when i was younger like seri pixel biologist
I love these games dearly. 1Games was a huge part of my childhood
omg wait I played this as a child, you just unlocked a deeply forgotten memory
I used to love this game when i was little. Im happy someone made a video on it! This game was so ahead of its time and cinetamic and in a way that most games werent back then
Also those images with the animals and the text below it are much creepier than i remember, my gosh
I used to play the all the time when I was younger, it made me so sad and somehow felt so lonely. Coming back to it today is something I would’ve never even imagined haha, thank you did the video and memories!
that one panther game i just saw you scroll past "Wild Animal Simulators" was my CHILDHOOD.
waittt the unintentional(?) cliffhanger ending at the end KINDA genious tho likeeee..... it attracts ppl to theorize & conclude their own ending themselves. W game fr 💯
1Games is pure nostalgia to me. Not necessarily jovial, but more so longing for a more innocent time kind of nostalgia, y'know?
I still miss the innocence of just goofing off, talking to people, so on. I still think of the people I've met on online mobile games. Wildcraft (of which is still on my tablet!), the entirety of 1Games, simulators like that. So much has happened since then, and I still remember being freaking Galxy the lynx on Wildcraft, or Blueberry the blue compsognathus on Dinosaurs online - and I miss those days. I didn't have to worry about anything except for schoolwork then, and life felt so simple.
If anyone remembers meeting someone like that feel free to reply and say hi. ^^
i used to play these games ALL THE TIME! WAO (Wild animals online) was actually very popular, and they created Life of Deer and Life of Deer 2 and Wild zombies online which also corresponded with WAO servers. The games were... low quality at the most but it still was lovely. and things called POS which were exploited point farmers were EVERYWHERE. if you befriended someone with one of those, then you were basically set on that game lmao.
Life of Deer i've now just realized is... scary, and sad tbh. the graphics fill me with a nostalgic feeling almost.
15:24 I wouldn't call it 'realistic', but maybe 'immersive'
I used to play dog simulator by rocket games on my iPad in the app store.
and my favorite thing to do in game was to take my dog family to the
highest mountain to watch the sunset. I never knew why. but it was fun.
I used to play this game all the time, it's my all time favorite next to Life of Leopard and Life of The Black Tiger! Thank you for covering this amazing game, I hope you cover the other Life Of games to!!
Keep up the amazing work!!
Yo me and my friends used to be obsessed with these “simulator” mobile games!
This definitely reminded me of back then lol.
I played the dragon sim and raptor sim mostly.
This one was kinda beautiful tho. A hidden gem for sure.
These apps were my childhood, I remember the squirrel life and crocodile life. They were so wonky and had such bad graphics but were so much fun ❤
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND PERSONALITY AND CRAZY THING FROM WHAT I SAW FROM YOUR BANNER WE ARE LITERALLY IN THE SANE FANDOMS
I wasn’t expecting to see a video made about this! These games were literally my childhood
thank you for posting a video about this game; i was really into animals as a kid and i would play this game over and over when i couldnt find any other ones i liked on the app store. im pretty sure it's gone, now, but im glad that im not the only one who remembers it.
I once used to play wolf online 2 alot but nowadays its a hackers playground i miss those times
never played this one before but i was always obsessed with the lynx simulators/those other wolf games
LIFE OF DEER MENTIONED OH MY GOD. i adored this game as a kid!! i need to replay it
btw Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion music??? 5:39
Hi Oli, I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and I really love your videos! I love the childhood games ones! I relate to them all even if I'm really young. Please never give up posting :)
I’m glad you enjoy my content!❤️
(Haha second comment I love this video so much)
This game in a way feels so eerie, especially since it stands out so much from other 1games games. Especially the little complete task things. Such an interesting game.
I remember playing this and being so sad. I also vividly remember playing all of 1games online games after it. They give me lot of nostalgia
OMG I WAS LOOKING FOR IT! Is such a good game with good memories, tahnk you so much TH-cam and i hope you channel grows up
Thank you so much ❤️
I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid. Just recently remembered it, thanks for bringing back old memories!
oh my god. im gonna cry THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD GAME THAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR YEARS. thank you so much for making this video
I actually remember playing this as a child, and it gave me so many memories back . Now, looking at it, it's a whole new feeling
I remember playing this as a kid and crying so much over it; it bothered me for DAYS. I'm genuinely shocked to see a video on it
THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS OH MY GOD. This was my TH-cam and dinner😈 might quite possibly be my fav video, KEEP UP WITH THE VIDS PUHLEASE.
YAAA OLI POSTED [HAPPY] (I've honestly rlly needed this I've been under sm stress because I've been unknowingly gr00med by one of my now ex friends for five years so seeing this pop up on my notifications made me get excited I love your videos sm oli!)
Omg I'm so sorry... That's so horrible. I wish you the best, please stay safe
I feel like at the end you are playing as your own baby fawn. Like an endless cycle💗🦌
Oh god I remember randomly founding this game back in middle school… I remember I was shocked about the unexpected story mode
Me too! I was also shocked. I thought it was just a regular simulator
you know i think i mightve played this? but i dont think i ever finished it. its nice to see how the story went after all this time, thank you for this!
My cousin. I think. Showed me this game. I dont remember much. I think i was 7 or something , i dunno. But... I thought it was cool. So i downloaded it. The game was, sadly, never able to work on my tablet. Either that or, i just didnt understand the game enough to actually play. I always... Just felt... Like the game was off. It was that feeling of old minecraft. The lighting was just a little too bright. The animations were just a little too hurried. Off. I still loved the game. I just.. Never got to experience it. So thank you. Thank you for this dive into this amazing game. This really resonates with me.
This looked so much better when i was younger lol
i completely forgot this game existed, this is so nostalgic😭😭
OH MY GOD YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY FOR ME I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT
i love this video. your voice reminds me so of seri pixel biologist and other gaming channels i used to watch as a kid.
That is so so sweet. I’m glad 🩷❤️
amazing vid 10000% wholesome!
i played this game back then and i must agree, it was a very beautiful and deep experience to have! one of 1Games best games ever! i'm super happy to have someone still talking about it to this day!
about the ending,,, it could depict one of those 3 options:
Dream Theory (the one you quoted on the video, self-explanatory: the game itself, was nothing more than a dream, fruit of our imagination, a cool interpretation!
Heaven Theory (quoted aswell, very philosophical): we (the player) are defeated by the 'Final Boss' known as the Tiger, and wake up in heaven by our mother and father's side. This theory could be enforced by the fact that, at the end, there are no other deer present! except our parents and ourselves, no one in sight on the mini-map at 13:21.
Cycle Theory (my personal favorite-): we (the player) are seeing things after a timeskip to the future, and the fawn that we 'finish' the game with, is in reality, our son/daughter >> think about it, there are two adult deer walking with us, and one of them closely resembles our character (after we grow), after the fight with the Tiger, we could have won! So we continued life normally, till we became a father ourselves! (the reason there's no one else in sight on the map, could be that maybe we are walking by a empty field, and exploring together or smth else, IMA STOP YAPPING NOW JSJSJJ-)
@@goatdali Yeah! I hope that last theory is true.
I always used to play this game,and seeing this just reminded me it existed. Thank you.
I LOVE YOUR VIDS TALKING ABOUT THESE MOBILE GAMES THERE REALLY RELAXING
i loved playing 1games' games as a kid. this video was really nice
OMG I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS GAME...i completely forgot about it but the foggy meadow brought it back to me..
ahh, this was such a cool video, i used to be obsessed with animal simulators, so discovering like.. a mildly weird/odd one like this is super neat (kinda gives Endless Forest vibes) ! I played a remastered version of this today, since when i was looking for it i wasn't able to find an original (??).
the storyline was the same, though, only real notable differences were in the models (general model changes, baby deers looking the same, the kitten was an armadillo instead, the unicorn had a really cool, sickle shaped horn and no wings, etc) the map seemed different too, a looot of the areas were mostly wooded and dark, the 'scary' area seemed to just be an elevated path along some steep, forest-y hills.
probably not super interesting stuff but i really wanted to yap about my experience because this game is just, really fascinating to me, lol, i initially thought that the end was either a dream as well, or we were continuing our journey as the previous player deer's child, either way, i do genuinely love the vague, open ended-ness of it all!
Loved the video
Omg I remember playing this, I had cried so much over it. It made me realize just how much damage humans do to wildlife and also that revenge won’t get you anywhere, definitely was one of my favorites
