I should mention beforehand I love Bigfoot. I watch all the documentaries, all the TV shows, including Finding Bigfoot and its ironically named director's cut version, Finding Bigfoot: Further Evidence. By the way, I have never had any encounter with the cryptid. I guess until that happens, I'm just people watching. That is interesting in its own way.
Anyhow, I said all that to lead into indie publisher Planet 47's simulator Bigfoot Life. In this game, you'll forage, find a mate, and of course, stay hidden from humankind's prying eyes.
