ik this is a few years old but i think its really impressive how u were able to make something so effective with mostly just sounds and subtle(ish) visual cues. not being able to interact with stuff made it less like a game but it also kind of added to the atmosphere and the feeling of helplessness when playing. also i cried so theres that
this brought back memories that i thought i forgot, but thank you. it was an amazing game, but i recommend putting a trigger warning even though i dont think those are necessary for most things.
Really loved the atmosphere of 'We, the Animals'. The tone is dark but REAL, it was obviously hard to -- or want to speak over the events taking place but I felt this was very impactful and sends a powerful message while making me very thankful for how well I had it growing up. Thank you for this experience.
I loved this.....i-it really hit home and the way I took it was the viewer is depressed and well ya.......really hit me hard bc im depressed myself Anyways.......what was the song that was playing
I appreciate the sentiments! More concepts are in the works, although it may be a while before they're released. I really wanna spend my time and make them right. c:
nothing much to do but mainly look around and listen to wat is happening and when the lights turn off it seems like that is the end of the game so ya i guess it was alright not really a game but kind of idk how to explain it
This game messed me up... I didn't know what was going on, or what was happening until I heard it. I'll say, the title fits the entire thing perfectly. Great job but damn it!! Why?! lol
Idk, I really think there needed to be a body in the bathtub, and some context to the argument. Were those gunshots? I appreciate the nature of the subject matter, and I think it has potential, there just wasn't really enough to break my heart and make it super sad. Just a little more context, a little character emotion, and maybe a model in the bathtub. Good idea, though.
Personally very tough for me to watch and listen to, but its good to see a developer using gaming to raise awareness of this subject, heres my vid and good luck to you in the future you deserve it man
Reminded me of Stanley's death in It: Chapter Two. Loved it, it was nice and simple of a game, laying on a bathtub filled with blood feels great (jk), the short story of a family going through problems means a lot to people that are going through the same issue so thumbs up for that. This game does not any work added to it, overall nice game, hope to see you on the main page of Itch.io some day.
Hi there, I am a youtuber and I hope to get some support from you guys by leaving a like and subscribe at my channel.
This game wasn't really a game to be honest. It was like watching a tragedy unfold in front of you, it was like watching a show or a short film of someone dying in the bathroom. I felt that there could have been some interaction with the surroundings like a moment of procrastination on whether the protagonist should do it or not and maybe we can choose different topics and answers that the protagonist could talk to himself about which can determine the ending of the protagonist (whether he dies or not). If there was more interaction in the game, I think that the game would have been better and the exploration of suicidal thoughts and other scary elements of humans would be more interesting and much better than the game is now.
I really wish there was more to the mechanics in this game and think it would be a beautiful project with a powerful meaning if there was more interaction. Thanks for what I got to play <3

Nice game
After an extensive playthrough of this game, I now know suicide is a better option.
That was beyond heavy .. wow.. not what I thought it would be, very depressing
this brought back memories that i thought i forgot, but thank you. it was an amazing game, but i recommend putting a trigger warning even though i dont think those are necessary for most things.
that's a really good idea, thank you!
