User Reviews
good for groups with at least a bit of coordination!
Yes.
"It's just a bunch of stones in a henge. It's a gazebo without the roof."
That is how I described the Stonehenge in Oh Deer, the one place where deer feel safe, before a deer pooped his pants and ran into a landmine. In Oh Deer one of us is a hunter, and the rest are deer pretending to be NPC deer by standing in a bush like complete idiots. I was fooled by a deer standing in a bush. I have never been so betrayed by grass. Oh Deer made me eat mushrooms, fart in the sky, and win a game on a technicality. Five stars, and one of them is a mushroom.
Entertaining game for sure. Always fun to play this with a group of friends.
Great update Dev Team!!! This game is Way more difficult/Fun....runs way better and can't wait to see what your 2 man studio puts out next!
