Animalia Vengeance Demo

It’s no mystery that many companies around the world put animals through hell in order to develop their products, which is obviously a bad thing. Naturally, sometimes it’s very useful to test things on animals before human lives are put at risk, but there are way better ways to handle such situations. Protests and activists managed to bring the phenomenon to the public’s attention in the last few years.

Animalia Vengeance is an interactive visual novel that allows you to witness a future where animals are consumed on a very large scale, mainly because the world’s population has exploded. There is a bit of romance included in the story as well, and the main character has to deal with a few other social issues along the way too, which makes the experience a bit more diverse.   The main character’s name is Aiden, and he is the Head of Research at a company called Future Foods Lab. This company is trying to end animal cruelty by developing lab-grown meat, which should take care of world hunger and end the massacre of innocent animals. Granted, other things affect Aiden’s journey throughout the story, so the game is more complex than it appears at first.

Although the demo at hand is fairly short and straightforward, the developers promise many possible routes in the full version. Romance becomes an available path too, depending on whether you find the time to get close to a girl as well. Naturally, multiple endings are planned as well, so you can go through the game more than once and reach a different conclusion every time.   Lastly, the artwork is top-notch, and you can notice that from the first few backgrounds, given the smooth lines, great colors and nice choice of scenery. The character artwork is gorgeous as well, even if they are a bit too repetitive sometimes. More poses and facial expressions would go a long way, but then again this is a small studio with limited manpower and a tiny budget.

Animalia Vengeance is a very promising visual novel, especially in the artwork department. The story appears to go in the right direction as well, but the demo is a bit too short to form a proper opinion on it. Hence, you can lend the developers a hand and support their efforts by participating in their Kickstarter campaign.
