What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I've been making animal simulators for a long time, and want to build this final all encapsulating game together with my longstanding community as well as newcomers! As a one man team, user feedback can help me immensely with both improving the game and adding new content. Let's create something special together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early access is expected to last one years time, which should mark the completion of the games first Biome.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game should contain all playable animals found in the North American Forest biome. I am looking to expand upon families to have both male and female animals as well as dynamically aging babies that grow into full members of your family. The forest will likely be expanded to include 4 large areas each with their own flora / fauna unique to their sub-biomes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Choose from ten playable animals in the current state; Wolf, Deer, Bear, Cougar, Crow, Raccoon, Boar, Fox, Moose, and Eagle! Fight other animals in the wild to secure food, water, and shelter. Find same species animals to bond and start a family.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I do not plan to increase pricing after the game leaves early access. Further biomes may be DLC or just included in base cost. No decisions have been made on this front.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Join our Discord page for direct feedback and updates daily on what I'm up to. Feel free to leave bug reports, suggestions, and ideas for the game and I will do my best to include them. We can also vote on which animals to add next while we work through early access.”

About This Game

The Most Realistic Animal Role-Playing Experience

Welcome to The WILDS, a unique journey into the unforgiving wilderness where you take on the lives of iconic animals tasked with just one thing, survival. Learn to stalk through tall grass as a Cougar and ambush your prey. Forage for food and water as a Red Deer while staying vigilant for ferocious predators that are lurking in the depths of the forest for a meal of their own. Take on the challenges of life in the wild and establish your place in the hierarchy of the Animal Kingdom.

Build A Pack And Raise A Family

The wilderness can be harsh but you won't have to face the world alone. Form and maintain strong bonds with other wild animals to create your own pack. Claim secluded dens where your new family can make a home to rest, socialize, and even breed babies!

An Ever Expanding Roster Of Animals

Ten playable animals already added including the Wolf, Deer, Bear, Raven, Raccoon, Cougar, Boar, Fox, Moose, and the brand new Eagle! This roster will continue to expand as we get more and more of the core gameplay implemented.

Deep Customization And Rewarding Progression

Create your perfect animals with dozens of customizable physical features, personality traits, and abilities! Everything about your animal will contribute to their various strengths and weaknesses as they strive to survive.

Dynamic Time, Seasons, and Weather

Gorgeous sunsets over crystal clear lakes, moonbeams glowing down through towering pines, and snow covered peaks during harsh winter storms. The world around you will change dynamically through the year bringing brand new experiences each new day!

A Dedication To Detail

The goal is ultimate immersion for you to live your life as an animal. Grass bends under your foot, dirt is kicked up by your stomping hoof, a cold puff of fog from your panting wolf in winter. No detail will be ignored.

The WILDS is constantly growing and evolving with community feedback in the Discord and Discussions page so feel free to join us if you have a vision for the game you'd like to share.
