51 of 51 · most liked firstDeer & Boy is, in concept, another puzzle sidescrolling game. In motion, it is a tender adventure that values every moment of your attention. It never feels aimless, and even in its darker moments, it does not lose sight of its goal: to make you care about its inseparable duo. Here is my review!

unlabelledView post →Game #49 of 2026: Deer & Boy Started: Jul. 19 Completed: Jul. 20 While this cinematic platformer doesn't bring in a lot of new ideas to the genre, I still had a great time. It's short (5 or 6 hours), but it's worth playing for the gameplay and the emotional story about a boy and a deer 🥹 1/2

unlabelledView post →I'm enjoying Deer & Boy, and even though I'm about 2 hours in, I'm already halfway done the game. It's a more light-hearted story compared to other cinematic platformers (so far), and the puzzle/stealth sections are basic compared to this year's Planet of Lana II. The game is cute and relaxing! 🥹

unlabelledView post →Game number 17 of 2026 completed. Deer & Boy is one of my hidden gems from this year. It’s an emotional journey of friendship. There are no spoken words but the emotions are conveyed so well .It also has the best song of the year in a game. Do yourself a favor and play this one. An 8.5 from me
