- Happy Valentine's Day! - 13 February 2024
Hi everyone! Libby here, and I just wanted to come on here to wish you all a happy Valentine's Day! 💖 This holiday is all about celebrating love, which shows up a LOT on day 3 - From the flirting of the Cramer 88 to the cute meeting of the female and male Queen Swallowtails, but out of all the moments the one in this pic is my favorite. Can you remember the romantic (and slightly awkward 😬) moment from day 3 that this journal entry is depicting? 👀 And speaking of romance, isn’t the relationship between the protagonist and their partner so cute!? Even in the stunning beauty of the Amazon they couldn’t stop thinking about them - talk about relationship goals! 🥺 Once again, happy Valentine's Day everyone! We here in the Flutter Away team hope you have an amazing day full of love and kindness ❤️ -Libby

- Capybara have… different toes? - 14 November 2023
Hey everyone, Aditia here, the Community Manager at Runaway Play! Recently our Producer Yuko was telling me about how Capybara have… different toes? Did you know about this? I knew the footprints in our game reflected a Capybara’s actual footprint, but I’d never really thought about the ins and outs of their toes and how they walk.. Let me hand it over to Jonas, our Nature Researcher and Capybara expert at Runaway to chat more about them, as this topic has garnered interest from a streamer of the game. Hi everyone! I’m Jonas and it’s my pleasure to share just a few more facts I found while researching Capybara: Capybara have 4 toes in front, and 3 in the back. I couldn’t figure out why exactly, but I did learn that guinea pigs are their close relatives, and they also have four in front and three in back! The webbing between their toes helps them swim, but also spreads their weight over…
