Do Animals Dream?

To be honest I can't even be bothered to write a full fledged review for this one. I already made a short review of it that explains how I feel about it. Unfortunately despite receiving the game for free I can't recommend it even for that price. See the three and a half minute review below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nok_BxPVccY

Short, but decent game :)

This game turned to be unexpectedly deep and shocking. I doubt that the main message of the game is that we should stop eating meet and treat animals the way we want them to treat us. People are an a whole other level. In my opinion, this game shows that the world is steeped in cruelty. No matter what chice you make, in the end of the day someone has to suffer. Peace was never an option.

I liked this game a lot! Its not often you see games handle topics like animal abuse or animal rights, so I was super intrigued by this game. The game is about viewing what humans do to animals and their perspective of it and is mainly meant to change the way you think about life. The messaging is pretty on-the-nose, but its very heartfelt and its a message I agree with. I loved all the characters, the interactions with them were really wholesome and cute. Its a very short game (took me 2 hours to see all the endings and finish all the achievements), but it manages to convey whatever it wants to say in the limited playtime. A few things could have been better. While i liked the art style of the game and all its characters, there are very few animations for the characters (for example, the player character only has forward/backward movement animations and not side to side) and its very very jarring to play. There are also very few sound effects (no footsteps for example) and the music loops can get quite repetitive, but since the game is really short its not much of a problem. I think the game could've really benefited from these improvements and would've made the experience better. Since the game also only relies on autosaves, to get all the endings you kinda need to repeat some tasks (not too bad of a problem since there is an option to skip the intro section of the game) but its a minor inconvenience due to the short playtime. I would also have loved it if the game were longer and paced a little bit more slowly and be allowed to take in the world, environment and characters a bit more. All in all I don't think the negatives detract too much from that game since the game's objective is to mainly deliver a message about thinking about what we are doing to animals and whether it is even necessary. I loved it overall and I can really recommend it, one of my favorite games of 2021. I hope to see bigger budget games handling this topic in the future as there are way too few of them. Really excited to see what the developer for this game does in the future as you can only get better :)

nice game

While I appreciate the message this game is trying to portray, to treat all living beings especially animals with kindness, I do not agree with the agenda. Consuming meat does not make you a bad person, and just because someone chooses to be vegan, does not make them a good person. I do not agree with animal cruelty. Just because someone decides to consume meat, does not make them an abusive and horrible human being. I did like the message similar to the man looking in the mirror with the camera option. We can choose to be better people, but choosing not to eat meat doesn't make you a better person. Overall I'd give this game a 5/5 for the graphics, 0/5 for the vegan agenda.

Alright, I'm gonna be real honest.. I spent 7 dollars on a game that tried to turn me vegan with uninteresting dialog / characters and predictable story line. When I read "body mutation" I thought the character was going to be turned into a partial animal by one of those monkeys or what ever, I get in the game- first 10 minutes I know that none of that is gonna happen. Would not recommend, waste of money.
