Goo Deer

After 12 hours of play, I went outside after the store closed around 5am only to get spawn camped by the big bad of the game, killing me in one hit, I lost 12 hours of progress and now the game won't save at all. It's a shame the game decided to go this rogue lite perma death route, cause the core loop of bouncing back and forth between a store management and hunting sim was very engaging. But part way through you start to automate your processes and starting from scratch over something so minor was the biggest out I've had in a game in a long long while. Like you may read in most of the reviews, the hunting isn't the best. All the deer are way too skittish, and run long before you can get a decent shot on them, but eventually you learn how to corral them into a corner of the map where their only escape is through you, which allows you to bag as many deer as your gun can take down. And the store management side is bottle necked in a lot of ways that you can't upgrade out of. But the sense of progress feels good. It's not experience ending, but the game doesn't run great. Slight hitching all the time, audio getting messed up cause there are too many audio sources fighting each other at the same time, visual glitches and gameplay bugs. Every customer and worker has a collider so you can get trapped in weird spots. Not to mention it's easy to bust out of bounds but much harder to get back into bounds. Overall, unless you're into the idea of permadeath as an interesting mechanic in a game... I'd avoid this.

Goo Deer is a weirdly addictive mix of hunting and store management. It's a strange but fun concept, and the gameplay loop is simple in a way that makes it easy to keep playing for "just one more day". I ended up sinking over 2 hours in it without really noticing. That said, the game feels pretty rough around the edges. Some parts of the hunting feel clunky, there are noticeable bugs and the gameplay can start to feel repetitive after a while. There's also a very punishing side to it that can kill the momentum fast, especially after you've spent some time building things up. TLDR; I had fun with Goo Deer, but I can't fully justify the current price. It's charming and addictive, but also buggy, rough around the edges and a little too punishing. Worth checking out if the concept sounds funny to you, but I'd personally wait for a sale.

GOO DEER Temos aqui um jogo muito interessante de gerenciamento de loja ,e exploração numa floresta é bem diferente de alguns jogos do gênero, aqui administramos um posto de gasolina, ao qual fabricamos a misteriosa bebida viciante Goo Deer. Até aí tudo bem, mas essa bebida é feita com carcaça de cervo, calma, irei explicar! Ao velho e antigo modelo de uma espingarda caçaremos os cervos, macho e fêmea, para poder fabricarmos a bebida, daí vem todo o mistério, um líquido estranho e viciante, retirado de um cervo, feito com cérebro e partes de órgãos. A história até então ela é contada de uma forma indireta , por meios de exploração e os documentos que são encontrados, cada um irá entender e descrver de uma maneira, pois ainda não temos uma narrativa que explique totalmente. O posto de gasolina que administramos ele é isolado em um mundo caótico e coberto por neblina, a população viciada na bebida Goo Deer, temos que administrar o nosso estoque para não faltar nada para eles, pois estão maluquinhos e farão de tudo pra poder ter a bebida o mais rápido, cada atraso e falta de estoque gera constrangimento e reações indesejados dos habitantes desse lugar estranho, e põe estranho nisso, só você vendo. A espreita logo ali perto do nosso posto de gasolina, tem uma floresta gigante aonde esconde um segredo, um ser gigante, um cervo, que mais parece o filho do capiroto vai tentar nos matar e nos perseguir ao cair da noite. Não temos relatos dessa criatura de onde veio e como surgiu mas que dá medo nas perseguições da sim viu. Acredito eu que essa criatura está ligada a floresta como um ser guardião e juntamente com a produção da bebida já que ela vem diretamente dos cervos. Cada um irá montar e criar sua própria interpretação do jogo relacionado a todo esse mistério. Uma coisa legal que achei que a gente observa muita coisa como a ganância por produção, e outras coisas. E por falar em produção já ia me esquecendo, não estamos sozinhos nessa produção, temos um maquinário de guerra ao qual fazemos upgrades e melhorias para acelerar o crescimento de estoque e além disso temos os nosso colaboradores, funcionários que contratamos para poder nos ajudar, e a diárias deles tem que ser pagas senão eles nos abandona. Goo Deer é um jogo muito legal que eu gostei bastante, irei continuar a jogar ele pois eu quero platinar todas as conquistas, eu recomendo muito a você a conhecer e jogar o game. Gostaria de agradecer ao estúdio VML Studios por ter me oferecido a chave key do game, muito grato pelo excelente trabalho, o jogo ficou muito legal. Desejo um bom jogo!

Overall Thoughts: I like the game, but it currently has some significant flaws. The core concept is weak in its execution—it's a basic shop tycoon that tries to blend automation, management, hunting, and horror elements, but it doesn't quite click yet. Since it was just released, I really hope more content and fixes will be added in the future. The Bad & The Frustrating - Poor Performance: Optimization is very weak. Even on an RTX 3050 and an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, the game runs poorly. - Punishing Mechanics: I absolutely hate that you lose everything when you die. It feels completely awful and makes the experience incredibly stressful rather than fun. - Repetitive Gameplay: The game gets repetitive very quickly. Notable Bugs - Door Glitch: There is a weird and highly annoying bug when you try to walk through a door while carrying a box. - Broken Deer Spawns: The deer AI/spawning is completely broken. They all spawn in the exact same spot and follow a single path. The rest of the map is entirely empty, while one single corner is overcrowded with them. Verdict: It has a unique mix of genres, but in its current state, the bugs, performance issues, and frustrating mechanics hold it back. I get it free, in my opinion, the game is total garbage.

hunting the deer way too buggy, you barely walk close to them and they zoom away like crazy

Gonzo Crazy Fever Dream. Had me questioning what was real. I probably need to chug another Goo Deer. But if I'm being serious, it's a bit rough around the edges. With some improvements, this could quite an enjoyable experience. Here's my first 5 in game days: https://youtu.be/wa7FWyG3syE?si=NymQmjGRGQucNJI5

die 1 time full reset

Not gonna lie! Game can get real stressful at times. But still pretty fun to play! Alot more to do. Will play again soon. But watch my gameplay below! https://youtu.be/UUlf1QNJcqU?is=hSo95mkKYaLsk5H-
