We thus conclude that orangutans exposed to more sociable and terrestrial conditions evince behavioral plasticity, in that they produce additional innate or innovated signals that are highly functionally specific. In the more sociable Sumatran species, dominant use of signals toward single outcomes was also higher in captive settings. We find that repertoires on both the individual and population levels are larger in captive than in wild settings, regardless of species, age class, or sampling effort. Here, we use a comparative sample of wild and zoo-housed orangutans of two species ( Pongo abelii, Pongo pygmaeus) to assess the effect of the wild-captive contrast on repertoires of gestures and facial expressions. It’s definitely worth buying it for the gorgeous graphics and its captivating story, or only for having a few hours of chill gameplay.Whether nonhuman species can change their communicative repertoire in response to socio-ecological environments has critical implications for communicative innovativeness prior to the emergence of human language, with its unparalleled productivity. There are a couple of missable achievements that require doing something at the right moment or in a certain order, but there aren’t any collectibles to gather.
It takes only a couple of hours to complete the game, and most of the achievements are story-related. The adventure begins as soon as you arrive. With glowing eyes and an uncanny ability to evade hunters, they may be more than mere beasts. Strange creatures terrorize a village deep in the wild forest. One day he receives a letter asking for help. The hand-drawn artwork is amazing with each location looking like a standalone painting, and the NPCs are nicely animated. The hero is a man who investigates the truth of strange events, a paranormal detective. There are a couple of very soft jump scares, but it’s far from being a horror game. The Wild Case’s story is dark and gripping but has a gentle and satisfying ending. There is no hint system and the map doesn’t indicate which locations have available actions, but there’s also no need for such things due to the game’s uncomplicated design. In that regard, the game feels extremely fluid, effortlessly flowing from one action to another, from one scene to another. Once you acquire such an item, you only need to follow the trail back to the original request. In order to solve this quest, you need to talk to another NPC that will require you to bring him another object in return, and so on. You talk to one NPC in order to acquire an item, but they will give it to you only if you solve a quest for them. On the contrary, The Wild Case is a fairly linear game and even if you normally have multiple simultaneously open quests, these are chained together and will always have to be solved in an orderly manner.
The majority of point & clicks have a habit of opening up a multitude of locations for you to explore and lose yourself into, searching for that small thing that allows you to progress further.

Contrary to a point & click game, everything you can interact with can either be picked up or will be used at later stage, so there’s little to almost no space for trial & error and mindless clicking in each location – and that is one of the things I liked most about the game. This approach makes the game easy to understand – you will always know what you have to do or what your next steps are, and you’ll spend little time roaming around looking for clues. Apart from various items that you collect from your surroundings and a map that you can use to fast travel to other already unlocked locations, your inventory also contains a notebook whose only purpose is to track your progress by setting clear and almost immediate goals (they require only a couple of actions) that can be considered as short quests. The whole game is played from the first-person perspective of a detective summoned to investigate these strange incidents. In some ways, the gameplay is very similar to a point & click game. The Wild Case is a fine adventure game with the look & feel of a hidden object game, yet stripped of any hidden object scenes or mini-games, and focused instead on telling the story of a remote Slavic village attacked by wild beasts with red glowing eyes.
