I love Animal Well for many reasons and one of those reasons is the excellent sound design and visual aesthetics. Looking for a game with atmosphere, visuals, and sound design similar to Animal Well. I don't know how to describe it really but the ambient music/sounds and especially color palette of the game are top tier for me. It's like, a dark background with neon ish colors. It's kinda similar to an outrun aesthetic I guess, just darker.

OneShot is the only other game I've played that has this vibe. I typically prefer less story focused games, but absolutely loved the atmosphere and visuals of OneShot.

Anything that meets this criteria?

Complete noob here with a question about practice sessions at home. I am in a beginner nosework class (the instructors are NACSW if that matters) and I am having a ton of fun, but I have a lot of questions. We are still quite early on and learning the fundamentals, we *just* got birch samples to start introducing a couple of days ago.

I am curious how we should go about "ending" a session? For example at home we typically do two or three searches with 2-5 hides per search. Obviously I know how many hides there are and when she is done, and at that point I am ready to set up the next search. So I've been just indirectly indicating to her we're done with the search, and I am wondering if there is a better way to handle this part. I'm also curious what this typically looks like in trials. Does the dog normally indicate somehow there are no more hides? Do the judges tell you when you are done?

I'm not sure if I want to compete since I am mostly doing this for fun and to kill some time, but I would like to know the "correct" way to go about this particular nuance in case I ever decide I wanna do trails. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I appreciate all the tips! To clarify, I'm asking about how to know when she is done or if I should be the one telling her she is done, not what to do when we are done. I definitely make it a big happy celebration when she finds all of the hides!
