About This Game

In the Wild is an educational game where you play as real forest animals, roam a beautiful island, and collect fact orbs to learn real-world facts about the animals you control.

         

Learn Through Exploration

Each animal has its own set of unique facts scattered across the island.
Find them, collect them, and our in-game guide will display the fact and read it aloud to you - teaching you something new with every discovery.

With hundreds of facts scattered across the island, there's plenty to explore and learn.

Original Soundtrack

Experience the atmosphere of the island with our custom soundtrack, composed by WesWolf Productions to perfectly complement the game's beautiful environment.

Dynamic Time & Weather

Our dynamic time and weather system enables an additional layer of interaction with the world. As a player, you can choose to use real-world time (relative to their time-zone) or our in-game time. 

Want clear skies all the time? You also have the ability to disable weather entirely.

How you play is completely up to you.

Escape into nature and enjoy your time In the Wild.
