About this beast

Four legs, one opinion. The Bristleback is the beast we recommend to first-time owners, nervous owners, and owners who have been told by a professional to start smaller. It walks toward the problem at its own pace and is still standing when the problem gets tired.

Nothing in this shop can be bought yet.

The catalog is fiction until the game ships. Leave an address and the studio will write once, when the Steam page opens, and rarely after that. It goes on the Keeper’s List, which the studio shares across its games.
