Sneaky Sasquatch is a Wide-Open Sandbox Adventure Game created by Canadian developer RAC7 for iOS.
In this very relaxed game, you play as the titular Sasquatch, living in a campsite accompanied by your woodland critter friends who guide you. You roam around, complete a critical path goal (finding a treasure map and saving the park), grab occasional sidequests, buy helpful overworld-impacting items, and generally just mess about on a constant basis.
This games provides examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: The names of the employees at R-Corp (and most humans in this game) can be rather...strange.
- Affably Evil: Despite being very shady and slimy when it comes to his practices, Mr. Pemberton is surprisingly civilized in person. He treats his employees decently and is a Graceful Loser when it comes to golf.
- Alliterative Title
- Ambiguous Gender: Some of the employees at R-Corp have masculine names with feminine designs, and vice-versa.
- Artistic License – Animal Care: Somewhat averted. If you try to feed anything to your dog that is known to be toxic to them (chocolate, grapes, onions, ect.), it’ll refuse to eat it.
- Benevolent Boss: Mr. Pemberton despite his Corrupt Corporate Executive tendencies seems to treat his employees with a good amount of respect to the point where they actually do enjoy working for him. They happily discuss planning a birthday party for him and his assistant mentions missing him after he gets hauled off to jail. Pemberton even becomes heartbroken if you admit to him that you were behind his arrest.
- Big Bad: Mr. Pemberton.
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: You play as one.
- Black Bead Eyes: All the characters have these.
- Buffy Speak: The characters do this a lot.
- Cunning Like a Fox: All the foxes enjoy sneaking around and causing mischief.
- Dance Party Ending: Sasquatch and the animals always have a dance after saving the campsite.
- A Dog Named "Dog": The Sasquatch is named “Sasquatch”, although the game later gives you the opportunity to use a “human” name.
- Extreme Omnivore: Sasquatch will eat just about anything that’s programmed as food, from raw meat to pet food to food from the garbage with no ill effects. He’ll also straight-up eat the packaging on the food.
- Expy:
- The museum owner is a blatant one towards John Hammond.
- Mr. Pemberton is likely one towards the Monopoly Man, given that he has a similar handlebar mustache (except brown instead of white) and the exact same wardrobe, even including a cane.
- For the Evulz: Mr. Pemberton’s son doesn’t go into detail on why he wants to pollute the lake.
- Gentle Giant: The sasquatch is very peaceful.
- Growling Gut: Sasquatch will get this when the food meter is empty.
- Humans Are Morons: None of the humans are very bright. They completely fall victim to your Paper-Thin Disguise, don't heed any attention if you steal food in plain sight, and at one point you can get a job fixing computers, in which most of the problems happen because the user didn't know it was unplugged or because they put a slice of pizza in the disc drive for some reason.
- Large Ham: A lot of characters, but a special mention goes to the ducks.
- Mobile Shrubbery: The brown bushes have this purpose.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: You can dress yourself in a barely-fitting shirt and cap, and none of the townsfolk will bat an eye. Although park rangers will see right through your rouse, unless you're wearing the park ranger or police outfit.
- Pimped-Out Car: The 1.7 update added a modifications garage at the racetrack to customize your vehicles. Modifications range from performance-modifying tires to functional stuff like police lights to decorative stuff like decals and fender flares.
- Renaissance Man: You can work a wide variety of jobs as the titular Sasquatch, such as an office worker, delivery driver, police officer, photographer, ect.
- Saving the Orphanage: Your goal is the save the campsite from the local Corrupt Corporate Executive.
- Shout-Out: There's a minigame called "Super Quest" which is one to the first The Legend of Zelda game.
- Speech-Impaired Animal: Most of the forest animals talk in perfect English, with the exception of the bears, who all use Hulk Speak.
- Trademark Favorite Food: There’s an NPC at the race track who really loves bacon and eggs, especially if it’s cooked on a car engine. Another NPC found in the ski resort will buy only oranges from you.
- The RV Dude at the island loves jerky. Bring him 25 of it and he'll give you his bike.
- Too Hungry to Be Polite: Amusingly, the humans whom you can sell food will eat straight from the ground just like the bears you can sell food to.
