As a forest creature, fans will need to use an understanding of the woodland landscape to build the getaway locale they wish to manage through crafting and other quests from other animals and humans. Once their bed and breakfast is up and running, players will need to keep guests happy by fulfilling their requests and filling their bellies.
Plus,Bear & Breakfastis widely praised for it’s satisfying gameplay loopthat keeps the right mood going. The bear’s adventures will also take a considerable amount of time to see to the end with an average of 34 and a half hours needed to 100% complete everything it has to offer.
