‘Bear Simulator’ is the Manliest, Essential-est Damn Game You’ve Never Heard of

Let's not kid ourselves here: bears are the manliest animals on the planet. They're huge hairy bastards with questionable standards of personal hygiene, they snore like hell, and they shit on the floor without any effs given to any of this. Just like our dear ol' Pa. They also announce balls to it all and just sleep for months straight whenever they feel like it. Because they're bears, and you don't dick around when you're a bear.

So where the hell have you been, Bear Simulator? Dudekind has yearned for a game that allows us to merrily live out our ursine fantasies. Thieving picnic baskets, making unwitting campers foul their undercrackers, being bashed on the skull by Davy Crockett's rifle butt... it's all good. It's all essential video game material.

Destructoid brings us the news of the game's Kickstarter campaign, and its $29, 500 target. If there's any freaking justice in the world, they'll hit that instantly. If only for developer Farjay Studios' promise that "...it's like a mini Skyrim, except you're a bear."


Can you resist that? Can you?
