@heckhound Rain World?
@gray17 good suggestion ty!! ^^
Dogwalk (2025)

Play as a big adorable dog and explore a hand-crafted winter forest with a little kid in tow. A short, free, open source project brought to you by Blender Studio.

@gray17 @heckhound ooh! ooh. it's not weird about plurality (werewolf style) or anything like that, right? because if it treats the wolf with respect (or if it's just a single person), that could be funnn...
@IceWolf @heckhound you mean, The Beast Within? you play as two humans, on the trail of some werewolf lore. toward the end, one of the humans gets bitten and turns into a wolf, and there's a short segment where you have to do some things with wolf senses and limitations
@gray17 @heckhound Yeah! Ooh good, sounds like it doesn't get too deep into the implications in the first place.
Ape Out (2019)

Ape Out is a wildly intense and colorfully stylized smash β€˜em up about primal escape, rhythmic violence, and frenetic jazz. Build up nearly unstoppable momentum and use your captors as both weapons and shields to crush everyone on your procedurally generated path to freedom.

@heckhound If you don't already have them, Ori and it's sequel are SOLID reccs. IDK what they are exactly, but they DEFINITELY critter.
