Animal Simulator
Animal Simulator is an unique open world survival game. Choose one of the animals and survive in the open world together with your group, or human friend.
Each animal has its own style of play. You can choose a predator or a little rabbit. It’s up to you. Your goal is to stay alive as long as possible. You can start a family and have cubs, or lead your own group. You can complete various quests – such as hunting specific animals and searching for plants.
Unlimited possibilities for your human friend! Building, farming, hunting, fighting, mining, building a family, selling goods.
Choose from many locations. Each location has a specific difficulty and style of play. Somewhere there is enough water, somewhere you have to fight for water. Each locality also has its own procedurally generated fauna and lives its own life. It’s up to you how you intervene in the cycle of life. You can also run special events.KEY FEATURES:

Each animal has specific characteristics, which further increases the variability of play. Some animals can fly, some overcome high obstacles.
Wolf
The wolf is a predator. He can lead his own group and raise young. His natural enemies include bears, wild boars and hunters.
Dog
The dog behaves similarly to a wolf, only it is present in urban areas.
Racoon
The raccoon is an omnivore. It has a special feature – it can climb buildings and walls. He often steals food and feeds on garbage.
Rabbit
The rabbit is small, fast and herbivorous. Its only advantage is speed.
Horse
The horse is a herbivorous. It has great endurance in running. It’s hard to lead a group of horses.
Raven
The raven is an omnivore, it feeds on everything it comes across. Its advantage is to disappear quickly if there is danger.
Crocodile
The crocodile is a very slow predator that has virtually no competition in the area. Its disadvantage is slow movement. When raising young, you must first take care of the egg from which the young hatch.
Elephant
The elephant is a very slow and herbivorous. Its advantage is strength when attacked by predators.

This game is fun! however, it is not at all what I expected. Keep in mind it is still in early access but it has a long way to go.
Things that need to be fixed that are not necessarily a big issue are:
- The dying noises most of the time do not match the animal/person. A boar can sound like a dying woman
- You can still die in the loading screen, and then when you die it stops loading you to wherever you wanted to be.
- When you die, it will not let you press main menu, only reload.
- When switching animals, this did not happen every time but only once, my animal family from the last game switched over to my new animal. I was an elephant and I switched to an alligator. I was an alligator with an elephant family.
- Sometimes the eat does not work. This is problematic because you get hungry and thirsty fast.
- Switching to animal and human is not ideal. I want to zoom in and out of my animal but if you do, you switch to the human.
Things I wish this game had or was:
- I wish this game had a natural random. When you walk around, there will be randomly goats and wolves running around and coexisting. There is no natural biomes or places you go to expect the animals, they are just everywhere except for the farm animals kept in a fence. I was hoping for biomes and less random placement and spawning.
- Everyone and everything wants to kill you despite what animal you are or what you have done. I feel like depending on the animal and what actions you have shown, then maybe you should be killed but otherwise, you have no chance. It takes out the fun and mystery of it. If you spawn as a crow, you will be shot by a person with no question. A dog? You will be hit. I wish this would only happen if you were perhaps caught stealing chicken eggs, rather than you just are an enemy to everyone. The one thing I did like in this same category is there is spawning points where you can spawn a fight.
- I do not like that you have a spawned home and can not change it. I would like there to be more survival aspects, like picking your own home.
- I was wishing the birth of children to be more real. Not visually, but time wise. If you have a child, they spawn and grow up in three days. I want there to be wait time before they spawn and I wan there to be a wait time before you can just have another.
- The option to have your friends/family to follow you does not work half the time. They will not follow you.
- I do not like that you spawn with your animal friend and immediately get to have help and kids. I think you should have to find them.
Overall, I think the game is too chaotic random and it doesn't have enough realistic additions. There is not enough struggle that an animal has in the wild.
