About game
Fans of cozy forest simulators will adore the charming life of a small hedgehog in Prickle: A Hedgehog's Tale. You spend your days wandering through lush meadows to gather berries, mushrooms, and golden acorns before the snow starts falling. Every meal you find helps you upgrade your underground burrow and prepare for the seasonal shifts. Befriending a local bunny or fawn brings helpful companions who follow you on your journey through the changing landscape. Predators like the sly fox keep you on your toes, forcing you to curl into a defensive ball to stay safe. Prickle: A Hedgehog's Tale challenges you to manage your resources wisely so you can survive the harsh winter months. Changing weather patterns and evolving forest music ensure that your transition through all four seasons feels fresh every time. You can play this adorable adventure right in your browser without any downloads required.
