The Game Awards have grown in popularity over the years, and with that audience comes the chance for developers to debut the games they've been working on for the past year that they're ready to announce. Here at Gaming Furever, we have a soft spot for games featuring anthropomorphic characters, or animals in general. To that end, we've compiled a narrowed down list of the games we saw that showed off a little animal influence.

Rooview: Lookouts
- Written by Tantroo Sonious McNally

Lookouts is a visual novel Western adventure where you play as a one armed wolf scout for a notorious gang. The 2022 Ursa Major nominated game is available to play in browser, or pay what you want to download at itch.io. It features art by Coldoggo, music by Jamie, and ParanoidHark composing the story and programming.
The art seems to take inspiration from Northwest Indigenous styling to form simple and effective character silhouettes for use in the story. The form not only lends itself well to the Western format, it makes the artstyle instantly recognizable and stand out from its other visual novel peers.
The story is split into a simple three act structure. As far as gameplay goes, the story is linear with some minigames and very sparse and inconsequential choices to start. It is not until the third act during the final conflict where you will make choices that do have an impact on the resolution. However, I think this makes for a better experience for the player, while keeping the programming and implementation reasonable for a one person team. By keeping the most impactful choices until near the end, you can more readily play the final conflict of the game without having to reread or go through the first two acts just to get to experience the differing outcomes.
The theme of the story is sort of a mixture of Romeo and Juliet with gay cowboys. Your nameable character (Robin by default) is sent out to investigate rumors of gold in a nearby town by your wolf gang. But as it turns out a rival gang of carnivorous birds also has its eyes on the prize, as you find their own scout on the road named Joseph. The story follows the two lookouts as they set out to discover what treasure awaits in the town, and what happens when they find something far more valuable and precious as a result.
I believe many furries will find the story well worth the approximately 5 hour run time. The material does pay homage to its setting, giving the town and characters a sense of history. It makes references to real world elements of the time period it portrays. In that essence, the late Fred Patten would note this is a zipper-back story. However, in spite of it being animal stand-ins for people, the story is charming with elements of romance, conflict, and looking for a place to belong. I’m glad this one got nominated for the Ursa’s and that it got the attention it needed so that people recommended it to play for my channel.

The team over at Behaviour Interactive brings something a little feline over to their asymetric horror game Dead by Daylight this Halloween season with their "Cursed Cats" Collection of outfits for The Hillbilly, The Clown, The Blight, and The Trickster. There's also a set of clothing items featuring dogs and cats for Jake Park, Haddie Kaur, Vittorio Toscano, Jonah Vasquez, Yun-Jin Lee, and Kate Denson.
“The latest additions to our Collection featuring some of our favourite animal friends!” says Kirby Taylor, Dead by Daylight’s Live Operations Specialist. “These designs are always enjoyable to work on, and we have many meetings admiring the cute patterns for these Cosmetics. And yes -- we still do track whether Cats or Dogs sell better... One of the most requested styles of horror we’ve seen over the past year has been for monster horror, so we cooked up something truly cat-astrophic for you. The team had a lot of fun designing these, especially all the little details on the weapons. If the player reception is positive, we’ve already got a few ideas for more monster horror in the future.”
