Planet 47 writes “Minus people trying to figure out where they are all the time, life seems pretty good for a Bigfoot – they spend time outdoors, constantly breathing that fresh air of the woods, foraging and hunting for food, staying fit by building their own shelters and seeking out companionship.
If that sounds like the kind of life you’d like to experience as a Bigfoot, developers Planet 47 Games have unveiled a reveal trailer for their upcoming release – Bigfoot Life – that will allow those able to play the game through Steam to experience a single-player casual simulator of exactly this.
Per Bigfoot Life’s Steam page, the description reads: “Explore the beautiful forest and live your life as Bigfoot. Catch and eat fish, insects, and other creatures. Forage the forest for mushrooms, berries, and more. Build shelters to store your items in to get through the harsh winters. Earn extra points by breaking branches and scaring the wildlife. Watch out for human Bigfoot hunters. They will be trying to find you and photograph you. Steal their items to earn points.”
Features listed for Bigfoot Life include:
Freedom to explore the forest however you like.
Catch fish, insects, and other creatures to eat.
Drink water from lakes and streams.
Forage for mushrooms, berries, and more.
Build shelters to store your items and sleep in.
Earn extra points by doing things like breaking branches and scaring wildlife.
Human Bigfoot Hunters that try to photograph you and prove your existence.
Steal humans items for more points.
Dynamic weather, experience the forest in all seasons.
Level up and eventually find and attract a mate for Bigfoot.
The announcement on Steam from Planet 47 reads, “I am very excited to announce that Bigfoot Life is coming to Steam! Just wanted to thank everyone for the support. If the game looks interesting to you, wishlists or follows are always helpful.” There’s no exact release date for the simulator just yet, but a release window of 2025 has been set. Planet 47 has previously worked on Spider Fox, another game that by the looks of it proves the studio’s love for the bizarre in nature. Spider Fox itself released earlier this year on Steam, so you can take on the Mad Scientist who has hybridized animals for yourself anytime – and while it doesn’t have many reviews, it is sitting nicely with a reviews rating of “positive.”

If they were wise they would’ve just collaborated with Les Stroud and made a game with a similar concept that still shows you all the same skills but more in an educational way… You could even escape into the trees to avoid groupies and fan-boys with cameras 😂… Now that would be a fun game. The best part is you could actually apply it to real life and be encouraged to respect the outdoors and educate yourself in it.
I’m not joking, there actually is real fresh air to breathe outside (maybe not so much by Wes right now, which sucks, but it’ll get better). 🌲
I just contemplate on how media and entertainment changes people, persuades them to be something they’re not as an escape from a cruel reality in some cases. Gives them something to hold onto or possess until you no longer know where to draw the line and the thing you held onto truly could be related to a spiritual possession.
I sure hope life doesn’t turn into some Alice in Wonderland scenario, where I got some middle-aged dude stuck in my tree by the driveway, with teeth filed to a point, wearing yellow furry footie pajamas and green contact lenses, thinking he’s the Cheshire Cat or something… Or say I go into the woods fishing, and suddenly some nutter butter (who’s been playing this game far too long) is peeking over a log dressed like Patty Bigfoot, throwing pebbles at me, running around and tree knocking while I’m trying to simply enjoy the outdoors and catch supper… I’d be like “No dude, go away, I’m not gifting you my PBJ sandwich or trading you for that rock!”,
“Chakka, No!” 😂
Maybe I worry too much, maybe just enough. I’d just rather wake up to normality instead of eventually having to say Happy Halloween to the twisted ways of thinking that are being encouraged and allowed more and more often. We don’t need more laws, we need more common sense.
Enjoy this game, in moderation of course… You might get a rude awakening if you lose your touch with reality and wind up trying to live that ThudLife pretending to be a Sasquatch in the real woods… Don’t come crawling to me because Chakka don’t know how to catch his own fish:) 🌞

Thudlife, I have no idea where this comes from 😄. For a guy who is dead broke I seem to keep coming up with free income for everyone else:)
If you make a t-shirt from that you gotta use Old English lettering though;)
