There’s a video game for almost everything these days, and animals are no exception. Developer Nasapa Games and Playism have announced the early access release date for their upcoming title DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game.
Though initially planned for a December 2019 release, the game will now be available for testing this month. Players will soon have the opportunity to become a deer in DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game.

“DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game is a game planned to be made available on Steam in which you take on the role of the main character: a deer. Run around town freely taking advantage of the main character’s deer-specific attributes, such as your stretchy neck and your stabby antlers!” states the game’s Steam summary.
What first started as an amusing Twitter animation soon began a hit. The video was retweeted over 100,000 times, so Nasapa Games decided to bring the full game to life. The game was brought to life via a Kickstarter project. The total funding amount came to ¥580,129 (or around $5,352.85) from over 200 backers. The finding was used for game development, in-game resources, marketing, and distributing rewards.
Unfortunately, the game didn’t reach its stretch goals of adding extinct animals and bringing the deer into space.
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game isn’t like other simulation games. The title offers fun and colorful graphics along with a variety of mini-games. Since the game is still in early access, what players experience now may not make it to the final game.
The pre-planning artwork displayed a giraffe driving a police car, a polar bear in a tank, and the deer riding on horseback.
Players will have the choice to either enjoy life as a deer or to create mayhem on the streets to see what will happen. If the deer decides to take the “destructive route,” it’s likely it may end up reaching a tragic end.
The game has had support from developers all over the world. The Steam page and Kickstarter site both announced: “Bread from Bossa Studios’ I Am Bread will be joining forces with DEEEER!!!.”
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game will be available on Steam Early Access on January 21, 2020.
