Bigfoot Life

About Bigfoot Life

Bigfoot Life is a quirky adventure simulator where you play as a Sasquatch surviving in the wilderness. Developed by Planet 47 Games and released on November 3, 2025, it’s a single-player PC game focused on gathering, crafting, and evasion. You’ll fish, forage berries and mushrooms, build shelters, and use abilities like Bigfoot Vision to avoid human hunters. The goal is to balance survival with scoring points by scaring wildlife and stealing hunter gear. It’s a chill, offbeat take on life simulation with a wild twist.

Gameplay

The game loops around daily tasks: catching fish in rivers, swatting insects mid-air, and smashing through branches for extra points. You craft tools to dig for roots or chop wood, then store loot in treehouse shelters to survive winters. The interface is minimal, with context-sensitive controls that feel intuitive, left click to interact, right click to build. Skills like creating fog or summoning portals add strategic depth. The real tension comes from hunters: if you hear a camera shutter, you sprint into cover. Sessions often end with you hiding in bushes, breath held, as humans wander just meters away.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Bigfoot Life 8.7/10, with 88% completing the base game. Average playtime is 18 hours, though 22% hit 30+ hours. Community moods are split: 72% “Relaxed,” 68% “Satisfying,” but 23% “Frustrated” over repetitive gathering. One user wrote, “The hunter encounters make the calm moments feel earned.” Achievements total 120, with 1,500 points, but 43% of players haven’t unlocked the rare “Stealth Master” title. Critics praise the art style but call the crafting tree “underwhelming.”

PlayPile's Take

Bigfoot Life is a solid pick for fans of slow-burn simulators like Stardew Valley or The Forest. At $29.99, it’s cheaper than most AAA titles, though the lack of multiplayer or major upgrades might deter some. If you enjoy methodical survival mechanics with a dash of absurdity, this is worth trying. Just don’t expect impressive innovation, it’s more of a cozy, weird diversion than a genre-definer.
