Do Animals Dream?

Everyone should give this game a try

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.

Short, but decent game :)

Quite a nice game! Beautiful visuals, great characters, some fun dialogues, and it certainly gets you thinking. It was fun exploring the small island, uncovering secrets, slowly getting behind what has happened in this very peculiar place, and ultimately finding all the different endings (some of which are quite tough to get through). Naturally, the game's tone doesn't sit well with some people. It certainly comes with an expectation of putting widely accepted behavior patterns into question through the voice of its NPCs. If this offends you, then this game may not be for you. But if you're open enough to briefly entertain a different perspective on things, then you can have a great time with the game, whether or not it ultimately ends up affecting your view on things.

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

I played this game on stream. It was cute. Incredibly short. Direction was.. kinda everywhere and controls and explanations were clunky. The story isnt as "dark" or "interesting" as the developer thinks it is. About 15 minutes in and you can figure out what's going on if you're even remotely seasoned. So I wont spoil it. Its a solid "Meh" overall.

It's short and interesting, the Dev is trying to make some pretty big statements in a pretty small game. Straight to some of the points. I think that it was worth buying and playing. It's maybe an hour of your time depending on your pace and the Dev is generous with replay options once you finish. The various endings gave a variety of closure and each creature's personality was tailored to their theme. I may have only caught part of the Dev's message. If there was more, or if it were more balanced than I understood, then they might think about how they convey that in future games. A few issues for them to spiffy up: 1. Autosave isn't super great. I got to different points of progress and sometimes it saved up until that and other times it didn't. -- however, it is such a short game that this isn't too much of an issue. -- One way that the Dev is forgiving is that, for some things that you might have to run back for if you forgot, instead of having to go back (for those specific things) there's a dialog that lets you stay and "bring the thing to you". I thought that this was a really nice touch. 2. A crucial item for progression didn't end up in my inventory and I spent half an hour trying everything before realizing that it was a glitch and I would have to reset the game, which leads to issue 3: 3. It is VERY UNCLEAR how to start a new game. You can't even uninstall and reinstall, because it reloads your progress, even if you delete the local files manually. TO RESET THE GAME: 3a. Go into the game settings 3b. Click on the bug icon in the top right corner 3c. Now you can click on resetting the game. I think that this last part should be a top menu item. Most other games have "New Game" or "Reset" along with the continue button in the main menu. The fact that I had to search for it was frustrating. At least it existed. All in All, this is an entertaining and thoughtful game and absolutely worth your time!

I bought this game because it was really cheap and it seemed weird. I've only done one playthrough, which took about an hour, and I was not disappointed. I'm definitely going to play it a few more times and see how making different choices might affect the story. If you're a fan of strange or dark games this will probably be right up your alley.

honestly, if the "cute animals + horror" premise interests you, you'd be better off just watching a playthrough on YouTube. janky and not much fun to actually play, even at its short length
