Take on the role of a curious baby boar in the demo for Adorable Adventures

Adorable Adventures is a cozy third-person exploration adventure where you're Boris, a curious baby boar on a mission to find their family.

Covered initially here on GamingOnLinux back in July, I was instantly pulled in by the super cute setting and the wonderful looking visuals to match. From peaceful forest meadows to rocky highlands, dark caves and sun-dappled paths you have to use your nose to follow trails, uncover secrets, make friends and expand your library of smells.

Developer Wild Sheep Studio have just released the first demo, and it's as sweet as I imagined it would be. Boris is absolutely adorable, and the animations they've created for your movement are pretty great too. Watching Boris slip and slide all over the place — and the running, it's so funny. As is the sound of Boris sniffing away at all the things you get to discover.

The developer also previously posted in a Steam announcement about how they were testing it on Steam Deck too.

Worked great on Desktop Linux (Kubuntu 25.10) with Proton 9. I wasn't a fan of the camera controls though, that will take a bit more getting used to with it zooming in and out along with rotating with the same stick but other than that I really need a whole lot more of this.
