if I may ask, why go with the "cute horror" animal character aesthetic but claim its not a furry game? is it just because you aren't in the community and are working without the influence that would give you (And otherwise just having the characters in order to provide a manner of narrative/visual/metaphorical contrast that works for the narrative themes?) Or just because you don't want to associate with it? (Which i mean, can't blame you the community is on fire half the daylight hours LMFAO)
Not to say "you asked for it to be called a furry game" for just having animal-humanoid characters obviously, but the statement puzzles me a bit considering the lore show in chapter 1 and some of the personality traits of the characters (but that may be me reading too into it, being the nerd i am.) Kinda leaning into what one would consider "furry" in a more traditional sense (perhaps more closely related to early interpretations like Sabrina Online?)
Sorry, I'm trying to understand the statement but I may be missing some context as to why it was made in the first place as i learned of it literally an hour ago (Thanks Felixtfox)
I'm personally interested in the actual plot of the game and the reasons behind the main villain actions and the Friend/Feral Pals origins, but i also think the designs are cute to my sensibilities (Which i mean yeah i'm a furry whatever, good character design is good character design.)
Thank you for your time!
