I love this game and think it is very fun and found it by watching a youtuber play it which i believe got to play it early, however, the game has been really glitchy and i keep getting kicked out and I know it is not my computer. Thanks for those who are reading this.

Игра "Animal Shelter: Prologue" - это короткое, но трогательное погружение в жизнь владельца приюта для животных. Уже в прологе ощущаешь всю ответственность за маленьких пушистых (и не очень) подопечных. Кормить, поить, убирать, играть, лечить - забот хватает! Графика простенькая, но приятная, а главное - животные выглядят мило и вызывают желание им помочь. Механики ухода не кажутся слишком сложными, но тем не менее требуют внимания и рутинности, что добавляет реалистичности. Порадовала возможность гладить питомцев и видеть их довольные мордашки – хороший способ снять стресс. Однако, Prologue действительно короткий. Через пару часов все доступные функции испробованы, и становится очевидным, что это лишь затравка для полноценной игры. Но если вы любите животных и симуляторы, "Animal Shelter: Prologue" вполне может заинтересовать вас и подтолкнуть к приобретению полной версии. Это добрая и расслабляющая игра, способная подарить положительные эмоции. Единственный минус - хочется больше!

слишком грустная игра я назавал своего первого кота "негр" а потом по сюжету его нужно было отдать я в депресии
в цілому гру можна пограти як пролог але не купляти нажаль скучно робиться на якомусь часу гри дуже сильно хоч і багато механік дій це навпаки задовбує я навіть не знаю графіка так собі не дуже навіть немає шо сказати як пролог це більш менш але як гра нажаль ні я би не грав с кайфом
Пролог симулятора приюта для животных. Вы ухаживаете за питомцами (кормите, поите, играете с ними), следите за их потребностями (голод, жажда, чистота, доверие) и ищете им новых хозяев. Нужно обустраивать приют: расширять территорию, строить помещения, закупать товары. Игра ведётся от первого лица — все действия выполняете собственноручно. Плюсы Милые животные. Собаки, кошки и другие питомцы создают тёплую атмосферу. Строительство и развитие. Возможность проектировать и расширять приют, расставлять здания. Обучающий элемент. Знакомит с основами ухода за животными и работой приюта. Бесплатно. Доступ без вложений. Поддержка русского языка. Удобно для русскоязычных игроков. Добрая тематика. Игра способствует эмпатии и заботе о животных. Минусы Короткая продолжительность. Пролог занимает всего 1–2 часа — ощущается как демоверсия. Рутинность. Много повторяющихся действий (перенос питомцев, уборка, походы к компьютеру для публикаций). Ограниченная интерактивность. Анимации животных скудные, их поведение мало отличается. Сложности управления. Неудобно выполнять некоторые задачи от первого лица (например, фотографировать питомцев для объявлений). Отсутствие мультиплеера. Только одиночный режим. Технические недочёты. Возможны баги и падения FPS на слабых ПК. Итог Animal Shelter: Prologue — милый и добрый пролог‑симулятор для тех, кто любит животных и интересуется работой приюта. Он привлекает уютной атмосферой и возможностью обустраивать территорию. Однако короткая продолжительность, монотонность рутинных задач и неудобное управление могут снизить удовольствие от игры. Подойдёт для разового прохождения и оценки концепции перед покупкой полной версии.
我在游玩中发现了几个问题 有进度条的互动例如洗澡烘干清洁等这种互动环节尽量简单一点不用互动不到的地方进度条就不动了 还有猫狗的介绍优势劣势的图标在电脑上也可以显示,就是鼠标放在那个图标有更详细的说明。 还有建造方面可以吧建筑暂时收纳,要不然一个建筑要建到那个地方却被另一个建筑档到。 I found several issues during my visit Interactions with progress bars, such as bathing, drying, and cleaning, should be kept simple. If there is no interaction, the progress bar should not move The icons for introducing the advantages and disadvantages of cats and dogs can also be displayed on the computer. When you hover over the icon, a more detailed explanation will appear. In terms of construction, it would be helpful to temporarily store buildings, otherwise, a building that is supposed to be built in a certain location might be blocked by another building.
This prologue managed to engage me and make me spend time on it. This game seemed quite interesting and cute to me. I played with virtual pets that resembled real animals. And this game sparked my interest in buying the full version.
Animal Shelter: Prologue takes a management simulation concept and gives it an emotional focus that separates it from many traditional simulator experiences. Rather than building gameplay entirely around profits, efficiency, or endless expansion, the game centers itself on caring for abandoned animals and helping them move toward better lives. The result is a slower and more personal experience where success is measured not only by how much the shelter grows but also by the well-being and happiness of the animals being cared for. The game places players in charge of operating an animal shelter and handling the responsibilities that come with it. At first, the tasks may appear straightforward: feed animals, keep facilities clean, and maintain the shelter itself. However, the experience gradually becomes more involved as players begin balancing multiple responsibilities while also paying attention to the individual needs of the animals. Instead of treating pets as simple units connected to statistics, the game attempts to create stronger emotional attachment through direct interaction and care. One of the most appealing aspects of the experience is how much importance it gives to everyday interaction. Feeding, cleaning, grooming, and spending time with animals become regular parts of progression. These activities could have easily been reduced to repetitive maintenance systems, but the game appears designed to create a stronger feeling of connection between players and the animals under their care. Watching frightened or neglected animals gradually become more comfortable and trusting creates satisfying moments that help make the routine feel meaningful. The adoption system also adds emotional weight to the overall experience. Players are not simply sending animals away to complete objectives or earn rewards. Instead, attention is placed on helping them find suitable homes and matching them with owners who fit their personalities and needs. This creates a stronger sense of purpose because progress becomes tied to creating positive outcomes for the animals themselves. Seeing an animal move from rescue and recovery toward a permanent home feels rewarding in a way that goes beyond standard management progression. Another enjoyable addition comes from photography mechanics that allow players to take pictures of animals and use them for promotion and shelter activities. Although this feature may initially seem small compared to larger management systems, it adds personality to the experience and creates opportunities to appreciate the animals beyond daily responsibilities. Taking photos and creating profiles helps reinforce the feeling that each animal is meant to feel unique rather than existing only as another task to complete. Shelter management and customization systems also contribute to progression. Players can gradually improve and expand the facility by adding equipment, reorganizing spaces, and creating better environments for both animals and staff. This introduces another layer beyond direct care because running a successful shelter also requires planning and organization. Building a comfortable and functional environment becomes part of creating a place where animals can recover and thrive. The visual presentation supports the relaxing tone of the experience well. The environments and animals are designed to feel inviting and approachable rather than aiming for complete realism. The overall atmosphere feels calm and welcoming, which fits naturally with a game focused on compassion and care. The presentation works because it prioritizes warmth and comfort over visual complexity. Of course, being a prologue means the experience naturally carries some limitations. The game mainly functions as an introduction to larger systems and ideas that are expanded further in the complete version. Certain mechanics can feel like previews rather than fully developed features, and players who become invested in the gameplay loop may eventually wish for more content, additional progression systems, or larger facilities to manage. Even with those limitations, Animal Shelter: Prologue succeeds because it understands that management games can be rewarding without relying entirely on numbers and efficiency. Much of the enjoyment comes from small moments and emotional connections rather than constant pressure or competition. The game creates satisfaction through helping animals recover and guiding them toward better futures. For players who enjoy relaxed simulation experiences and appreciate games centered around care and meaningful interaction, Animal Shelter: Prologue offers a pleasant and heartfelt experience. Beneath its management systems is a game that quietly turns kindness into its most important mechanic. Rating: 8/10
