Pawsecuted

Pawsecuted is set in an alternate timeline where gene editing gave mammals speech, upright movement and greater intelligence. After mammals demanded equal rights in the 2020s, the Great Mammal War for independence lasted over a decade. By the 2050s, humans had been all but annihilated, leaving ruined cities, towns and villages behind. Your story begins in the distant aftermath: you are a lifelong convict in a work camp run by a zealous Koala, with no life beyond the camp expected of you until one day.

Explore the Outback

The world changes with each playthrough, with dynamically spawned quests and encounters. You can follow the main storyline to learn more about the world or ignore it and wander the Outback. Quests can have multiple solutions: you might bribe a dog, complete a fetch quest or beat him up to get answers. The farther out you travel, the more dangerous the world becomes, and you decide when you are ready to go further.

Scavenge and build

Search the ruins of the Furless in a post-apocalyptic world. Craft survival tools, construct burrows, brew drinks and forge weapons. You can also establish agricultural, industrial and commercial sites to help rebuild the civilisation of the Evolved.

Recruit mercenaries and persuade followers to join your settlements or fight alongside you. Scavenge and repair vehicles, and establish an oil industry to fuel your fleet.

Combat and survival

Fight venomous snakes, pistol-toting wallabies and other threats, or run away. Time continues to pass during fights, so drawn-out battles will tire you out. In tactical gameplay, time moves only when you do, giving you a chance to think and plan ahead.

The day-and-night cycle makes activities more dangerous at night, affecting line of sight and the speed of travel and searching. An item-tagging system determines which actions you can perform: anything tagged Ignite can start a fire, while anything tagged Slice can make a sandwich.
