Paws & Circuits: Reboot Earth

Explovival – not just another survival Paws & Circuits is a cozy eco-survival game about a wounded raccoon, his drone buddy, and a trash-covered 4×4 km island. Clean up human leftovers, recycle resources, and gather seasonal plants to survive changing weather and four distinct seasons – without loot grind or stress survival. Live with the seasons, not against them. Food doesn’t just respawn – it follows the year: - Strawberries start as blossoms in spring and only turn into juicy fruit in summer. - Carrots grow through summer and can be pulled from the ground in autumn and early winter. - Other plants, mushrooms, herbs and berries have their own short seasons – miss the window, miss the meal. Play by senses, not by bars You don’t stare at HUD bars – you play by what you see and hear: - Your stomach growls when you’re hungry. - Your movement gets heavy when you’re injured. - You slow down and start looking for water when you’re thirsty. When you need exact numbers, you call your drone. It brings up a HUD on demand – when you’re done, the UI fades and the world fills the screen again. Core Features - New sub-genre “Explovival” – focused, cozy survival without loot and dopamine spam. - Buddy drone with a smart task system: scan, mark, clean up, and carry trash. - Cleaning trash = visible island progress – the more you recycle, the more the island changes. - Weather, time of day, and four seasons with seasonal plants and food. - Hand-crafted 4×4 km island: beach, forest, volcano, dynamic weather. - Minimalist UI – HUD only appears when you call your drone. - Optional hardcore mode (1 in-game day ≈ 24 minutes, permadeath, gravestone save, later leaderboard). - Singleplayer first; co-op planned depending on community feedback. - Early-supporter bonus: playable red panda variant.
