Following Boris's Nose Across the Cévennes National Park
For anyone who missed its original debut, Adorable Adventures places you in the tiny hooves of Boris, an inquisitive and mischievous baby boar separated from his family after a forest fire. Free of stressful combat or timers, the entire journey revolves around Boris's keen sense of smell. By sniffing the breeze, Boris can identify, memorize, and filter colorful scent trails winding through the trees to track down his lost siblings.
Designed as a sunlit love letter to the landscapes of southern France, the world draws direct inspiration from the Cévennes National Park near Wild Sheep Studio's home in Montpellier. Players can wander at their own pace through fragrant pine woods, sun-drenched meadows, crystal-clear rivers, limestone plateaus, and cool caves, accompanied by the soothing hum of cicadas and the warm narration of park ranger Maxime.
Along the way, Boris can race a cheeky badger, help clean up the park trails, complete photography challenges, and unlock cute cosmetic accessories. That pure joy of exploring nature on four legs immediately recalls the magic of Stray on Nintendo Switch, another beloved animal adventure whose physical edition currently trades around $19.99 loose, $20.99 complete in box, and $24.04 brand new.
My Perspective
I have to be completely honest with you: the very first time I saw little Boris wiggling his snout among the pine trees and sunlit meadows, I was completely charmed! As a huge fan of cozy exploration games that let you breathe at your own pace, right alongside favorites like A Short Hike and Stray, I immediately fell in love with the warm, sun-soaked atmosphere that the Montpellier team at Wild Sheep Studio brought to life. You can almost feel the southern French breeze through the screen, and following floating scent trails across the woods is such a relaxing, poetic gameplay idea.
That is why I am thrilled and so excited to see a physical Nintendo Switch 2 edition surfacing at retail! This is the ultimate comfort game that I cannot wait to play in handheld mode, curled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea, racing badgers and sniffing out hidden secrets in the Cévennes for an hour before bed. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed for PQube to share the final release date very soon!
