Sneaky Sasquatch

Sasquatch sneaking to steal food from a cooler

Sasquatch requires food and sleep.

The game time corresponds to real time as approximately one second for one minute, so the in-game daylight lasts for around 12 minutes. If Sasquatch stays up too late without consuming cafe drinks or energy drinks, he falls asleep and wakes up in his main house, where the raccoon has dragged him to. To avoid this, Sasquatch needs to reach an available bed and sleep in it.

If Sasquatch stays with a completely empty stomach for several minutes, he falls unconscious and is dragged back to the house by the raccoon as well. The raccoon feeds Sasquatch 2 hunger points, so Sasquatch pays 20 coins or all coins if Sasquatch has less than 20 coins. The food can be stolen from the campers, but later players get access to shops, a café, a diner and even a TV shopping channel where they can buy food instead. Fishing is also a source of highly nutritious food.

When Sasquatch does not wear any disguise, humans are afraid of him, and alert the authorities whenever they see him. With disguise, regular people take Sasquatch for a human, while authorities like rangers or police still see through it. Later in the game, Sasquatch obtains special outfits which prevent even authorities to recognize him.

Except being recognized as a Sasquatch, other unlawful acts like shoplifting, carjacking, stealing from the port or hitting people with a motor vehicle may trigger authorities to pursue Sasquatch. When Sasquatch is caught by rangers, he is thrown out of the area into any nearby forest clearing. When Sasquatch is caught by the town police, he spends a night in jail and is released the next day at noon in-game. When Sasquatch is caught by the Island Ranger, he is brought to the ferry entrance.

One of the activities required for progress in Chapter 1 of the storyline is golf, featuring matches from 3 to 9 holes.

There are many racing events. Karting, car racing and drifting take place on the race track. Entering harder races requires passing increasingly harder driving tests, which are a challenge by themselves. Car racing is required for completion of Chapter 1.

On the water, there is boat racing and canoeing. One particularly long car race is 100 laps long and lasts for around 20 minutes, and there is also a similarly long boat race.

The dirt track features dirt bike racing and freestyle, monster truck racing and car-crushing, and ice racing.

Skiing includes two types of events: fastest descent over several pistes, and freestyle where the goal is to perform the hardest jumps. This activity is required for completion of Chapter 1.

Snowball fights are played in several formats such as last man standing, team against team, hitting a number of targets in a limited time, or survival against multiple attackers.

Surfing requires the player to do jumps and spins before being overtaken by the wave. The player needs to upgrade their surfboard by beating a lineup of opponents of increasing difficulty.

An arcade in the town hosts several arcade video games made in the style of late 1980s to early 1990s.

Several mini-games are more relaxed collecting activities, such as scuba diving (collecting trash underwater), fishing, mushroom hunting, and collecting dinosaur bones for the museum. However, some rarer varieties of fish and mushroom are hard to find, and may require many in-game days.

Sasquatch can adopt a runaway dog, a Boston Terrier, which requires care and food to grow (constituting a simple virtual pet mini-game), and eventually becomes helpful in finding expensive truffles.

In Chapter 4 of the storyline, Sasquatch can befriend over 50 characters in the game. He can do activities and mini-games to satisfy the friends, and increase the relationship between Sasquatch and the friend. This activity is required for completion of Chapter 4.

Initially the only source of money is selling spare food to an always hungry bear.

As Sasquatch becomes integrated into the human society, he can be hired into several human jobs.

An office job in a big corporation called R Corp involves delivering mail and snacks across several floors of the building, fixing computers, and eventually leads to a promotion to an executive, who dozes through meaningless meetings, signs useless paperwork and plays golf with Mr. Pemberton, the CEO. This job is required for completion of Chapter 2 of the storyline.

The delivery service job and taxi job require the player to drive between certain points of the map in a limited time. The taxi job also requires driving carefully to not scare the passengers.

The police job is mostly about with working as highway patrol, writing tickets to drivers and collecting fines. The possible violations include speeding, driving without license, insurance, or prescribed glasses, driving without headlights at night, or keeping food under the car hood. This job is required for completion of Chapter 3.

The local port offers three jobs: forklift driver, crane operator and security guard. After gaining the port's trust, Sasquatch can pull off a burglary himself for large profits, though that is a challenging activity with high chances of being caught.

Another job is a substitute captain of the local ferry, sailing between the island and the mainland. Later in the game, Sasquatch can sail the ferry to his private campground.

Sasquatch can also invest 1000 coins into a local food delivery service called Spaghetti Hotline. He can get a share of the profits and upgrade the Spaghetti Hotline kitchen.

After Sasquatch is elected mayor in the 4th Chapter of the storyline, Sasquatch can fund money to customize the town in the town hall. However, Sasquatch does not get paid as mayor.

The money can be spent to buy multiple vehicles: cars, motorbikes, and boats, and then to upgrade and customize them. Also Sasquatch can expand his house and buy new furniture, purchase additional houses in other parts of the map, or buy some expensive vanity outfits and accessories.

The businesses allow the player to invest some of their money to get a passive income later. These businesses include a private campground on an small island, and a spaghetti delivery service in the town.

There are two seasonal events. Winter holidays event adds additional prizes for the snowball fights mini-game and the snowman building activity.

The Halloween event features trick-or-treating with dressing into multiple outfits, and several Halloween-themed mini-quests.

The prizes for both events are candies, which can be exchanged for corresponding holiday costumes, and decorations for Sasquatch's house. Both events can be started for a day at any time of the year by finding a certain character and paying them.

The peaceful existence of Sasquatch and his animal friends is interrupted by arrival of Mr. Pemberton, a business magnate who wants to destroy the park to build condominiums. The rangers have few days to pay back their debts, and Sasquatch decides to help them by finding a buried treasure. But the duck tore the treasure map into several pieces which were then scattered by the wind, and Sasquatch needs to find them.

After the failure of his plans, Mr. Pemberton decides to resort to unlawful means. As he keeps his detailed illegal plans in his office safe, Sasquatch must infiltrate the antagonist’s company, rise through the corporate ladder to gain Mr. Pemberton's trust, and eventually steal the plans and reveal them to the police.

After Mr. Pemberton is arrested for planning illegal actions, the large lake in the campground becomes heavily polluted under mysterious circumstances with its water colo(u)red a revolting shade of green. But the police are understaffed and no detectives are available, so Sasquatch joins the police force, rises through the ranks to become a detective, searches for clues in the sewers and eventually solves the mystery himself.

Sasquatch runs for mayor against Pemberton Jr. by completing 4 different tasks. After Sasquatch wins the mayoral election, he must find Mr. Pemberton, who has escaped from prison. After traveling to the port and finding the two Pembertons, Pemberton Jr. pursues Sasquatch, followed by Mr Pemberton as bosses. Sasquatch needs to run away and defeat them. After defeating Mr. Pemberton, Sasquatch is tricked into walking into a cage trap. Sasquatch is then saved by the park ranger and the 8 friends Sasquatch previously made during the election campaign. Sasquatch then sends Mr. Pemberton and Pemberton Jr. overseas on a cargo ship called S.S. Never Coming Back.
