About the Game

You have to control the animal in an uncompromising struggle for survival. Each has its own individual characteristics: mass, speed, manoeuvrability, damage, skin thickness, absorb and dry. The battle takes place on land, in water and in the air. Water is a major resource that activates regeneration and prevents death from thirst. You can distance yourself, but the drought begins and players are forced to go to a risky rapprochement in the fight for the last water.

How not to became Food

  • You need water, just put your head in it.
  • Water goes out, it's inevitable.
  • Use claws, jaws, hooves, horns and beaks in the fight for last water.

Early Access Features

  • The game is based on a sensitive sync of complex skeletons. Each part of the body, when collide with an obstacle, affects the movement according to its proximity to the center of gravity.
  • Sound appears through physical interactions. It feels authentic, and I think more surfaces will be added.
  • Animals not invented, only used. Fourteen species are available: bear, boar, crocodile, crow, deer, eagle, elephant, fox, goat, owl, hippopotamus, lion, rhinoceros, wolf. Their numbers are limited to common sense. This does not mean that new animals will be actively added, but in the future, it will probably be part of a season cycle.
  • I look at the simulation as a potential single player mode in which you could create battles, by controlling behaviors.
  • After obtaining sufficient data, detailed statistics for each species, player ratings, statistics, graphs, etc., will be available.
