What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Paws Against the World needs some work on existing features and content, especially in terms of improving quality of life features. The need for testing and balancing the game is very high. We need community feedback as an integral part of the design process.
It played a vital role in past projects. The feedback will steer where we take it next, plus help us iron out the kinks with some much-needed testing. It’s all about building this wild ride together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We predict the game will be in Early Access for 2-3 months.”

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

“The Full version is planned to expand on current features already present. Expand the number of playable animals and their abilities and other games modes, all all sort of items, and many other aspects of QoL (quality of life) improvements are still needed.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This Early Access version currently features 20 unique and diverse playable animals, allowing 1-4 players to enjoy the game on a shared screen. The first two maps are available, along with seven different enemy types to defend against. At this stage, only Survival Mode (campaign-like) is available to play.”

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

“No. The game price will be the same as on Early Access.”

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

“We hope to have feedback, comments, and suggestions from the player community on our Discussion board of the game on Steam.
That's our main communication channel with our players. We also have a discord channel ready for that case too.
Since we don't have a community manager, we may not immediately reply back, but we will try hard to read any suggestions or feedback and take it very seriously.”

About This Game

The humans are gone. The world has fallen to the undead, and only the animals remain. In a world overrun by zombies, nature’s fiercest survivors must rise up and fight back! In PAW, you and up to three friends take control of powerful animals, scavenge for upgrades, and battle against relentless zombie hordes in a fight for survival.

Survive, Defend, Evolve!

  • Choose Your Animal: Play as different animals, each with unique abilities and playstyles.

  • Scavenge & Upgrade – Collect loot and Essence from fallen zombies to power up your skills and abilities.

  • How long can you last against an endless zombie onslaught? Protect vital strongholds from being overrun!

  • Permanent Progression: Leftover Essence can be spent in the Library, unlocking permanent upgrades that make each new run stronger than the last.

The fate of the world rests on paws, claws, and fangs. Fast, chaotic, and endlessly replayable, PAW is the ultimate test of survival instincts. Are you ready to take back the world?
