Our take on Animal Simulator
The defining structure is the dual role of animal and human: both can be controlled together, allowing them to protect one another and share tasks such as hunting and finding food.
What is Animal Simulator?
Animal Simulator is an open-world game centered on cooperation between animals and humans.
Players choose from ordinary, fantasy, or prehistoric creatures, each with different traits, strengths, and weaknesses. Animals can form families, have offspring, lead groups, hunt, gather food, and interact with the environment. A human companion can be controlled alongside the animal for shared tasks such as protection and food gathering. Activities also include farming, breeding, house construction, resource mining, and hunting. The world includes varied locations, time periods, four seasons, day and night, weather conditions, and interactive events with gameplay consequences. The game supports co-op and local multiplayer, and includes more than 30 dinosaur, pterosaur, and paribas species alongside animals such as wolves, rabbits, dragons, and pegasuses.
