Scurry

Model SQ-01, autumn release

Play it. Bury it. Forget where.

Scurry is a handheld console built around the 11-minute attention span of the eastern grey squirrel. Every cartridge is shaped to be cached in topsoil, and 74% are never found again, which our board has approved as a reforestation program.

Getting to know your unit

Page 4 of the manual, reproduced here because the printed copy is usually buried with the box.

  1. Cartridge slot

    Save files you can dig up

    Progress is stored on the cartridge. The cartridge is stored about 4 cm underground, somewhere. Your squirrel resumes exactly where it left off, conditional on locating the save.

  2. Link port

    Single-player multiplayer

    Squirrels do not cooperate, and our netcode respects that. When two Scurry units come within 3 metres, both players enter a chase with no win condition that ends at the nearest trunk.

  3. Directional pad, rotated

    Vertical-first controls

    The D-pad is rotated 90 degrees because nothing important in a squirrel's life happens horizontally. Up is up the tree. Down is down the tree, head first, at a speed our legal team has asked us to stop filming.

Talk to winter sales

Winter Edition invoices are collected by a field agent who digs where you dug. If the agent finds less than you owe, the balance rolls into spring. If the agent finds more, it is not mentioned again.
