00:00This cozy game was originally supposed to become a hardcore survival game, but now you play cute and super intelligent animals who are making your coziest dreams come true.
00:09And you can invite up to three friends for a paw-tastic evening, so you don't have to do it all by yourself.
00:14In Animal Kind, you play as an adorable critter ranging from corgis to cats and raccoons who one day stumbles upon an ancient industrial mech.
00:22What better way to try it out than to jump into the cockpit and utilize it for something good.
00:26So you are casually using this powerful mech to build an entire village.
00:30The mech's powerful opposable thumbs are perfect to gather resources, craft, and establish a thriving town for your animal friends.
00:37There is much to explore in this vibrant wilderness, and over time, you will also be able to customize your home and your mech with different styles.
00:44The game was planned as a hardcore survival game, but the developers realized that the real joy was in creative building and cooperation.
00:51So they transformed it into a cozy, open-world sandbox where the focus is on building beautiful communities, not battling enemies.
00:59Animal Kind can be played solo or in co-op multiplayer, and closed alpha playtests are happening this July on stage.
