The music, art style and theme worked perfectly together to create something special. It felt kinda weird to have free movement in a grid-based world and I sometimes had a hard time clicking a speech bubble before the animal moved away, but those are just minor issues.

This felt great to explore! Although a bit slow after the first few minutes, but this could be expanded into something great!
edit: Also I think the AI thing was a Portal reference there... hehehe
I liked it a lot. More of an experience than a game. The poor animals all had a lot of issues, though. :D
Nice art, and nice music for slow and a dramatic game. Nice job.
It could not be done without Withering Systems and their free tileset. The tileset is not perfect, but still a marvel!
Some stuff was exaggerated or accentuated. (E.g. I’m not making a game engine for 12345 years. Only for 7. 🤣 😱) I think it made so much contrast in some places that it derailed the overall feel. (It should have been dark.) Or maybe some human issues indeed look stupid if looked at from other’s eyes. But it is good, I think, we learn about ourselves.
I hope you’ve found at least some of these animals relatable (:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
the Barney song at the end kind of killed the mood
Wtf is that thing XD MacLeod’s tracks always remind of some random song. Barney is absent in our culture; the track sounded more like a lullaby for me, not like “I-i-i-i love you-u-u” XD
The writing could definitely use some work
Not everything is that easy to talk about or easy to put into words, at least with English as a second language ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (Tho yea, the tiger could use some more work put into, it is extra one-dimentional and boring)
