Game overview

Hungry Bear Rescue drops you into a village where a bear has got itself trapped, and freeing it means working the whole settlement rather than one room. Objects are scattered across huts, yards and undergrowth, and most of them are useless until you find the thing they pair with. The satisfying part is the moment a clue you noted twenty minutes ago suddenly explains a mechanism you had walked past three times.

This title is best suited to players who like adventure-style item puzzles spread across a map.
