Our take on Animal Company
Its emphasis on social chaos and physics play gives up a controlled, consistent adventure structure. Procedural environments, unpredictable events, and player-created activities leave less room for carefully paced progression or tightly directed storytelling.
What is Animal Company?
Animal Company is a multiplayer VR adventure about exploring haunted environments, fighting monsters, and investigating experiments linked to the Canopy Group.
Players move through forests, mines, low-gravity nuclear areas, and lava caves while avoiding hazards such as landmines. Objects found during expeditions can become weapons, mechs, vehicles, drones, or toys through physics-based crafting. The game also includes animal avatar customization with interchangeable body parts and clothing. Social activities include walkie-talkies, player-hosted mini games, reviving teammates, and directing films inside the game. Updates add procedural maps, quests, and physics items. Steam players receive 5000 Company Coins and an exclusive Valve Hat cosmetic.
