About the Story

When I was young, I daydreamed about grand battles between humans and wild animals. It never felt strange that I was always on the side of the animals.

(Speed-IF made in 4 hours for Ectocomp 2024.)

A full-on war between animals and humans written in an interesting system, November 13, 2024*

This game was a wild ride. I don't recognize the engine used at all; you can cycle through choices by clicking, but then scrolling down counts as a choice. It is visually dramatic and fun, although occasionally I scrolled too far and missed a choice.

The setting is dramatic and the narrator voice fits it. You play in a world where the long peace between animals and man has fallen, and every living creature is out to destroy humanity. You have to escape dangerous krakens, rampaging birds, and murderous apes.

The game is zany and wild, but somehow still coherent, and it ends just before the concept could become tedious. Overall, very well done, and stunning that this was achieved in 4 hours.
