Lore/Backstory
Pawsecuted exists in an alternate timeline that diverges from ours after the first cloning of sheep in 1984. This breakthrough led to huge advances in gene editing technology, and created a world with zero ethical restrictions on modifying DNA of non-human mammals.
There was massive demand from people who wanted pets with humanlike qualities. Even wild animals were being modified to become suitable as household companions. By the mid-2010's, consumers could conveniently purchase gene mods giving their pets abilities such as speech, upright movement and even higher intelligence. Almost every household had multiple pets, modded for everything from entertaining children to construction work.
In the 2020's, mammals started demanding equal rights to humans. Their demand was simple - nobody 'owns' anybody else, all mammals are free to choose their own destiny. Humanity pushed back, and the Great Mammal War for independence began. War lasted for over a decade and the world was left devastated. By the 2050's, the humans had all but been annihilated and forgotten. The only reminders of their rule are the ruined cities, towns and villages left behind.
Your story begins in the distant aftermath of this war. You are a life-long convict in a work camp run by a zealous Koala. This is all you've ever known and all you expected to ever know. Until one day...

Good game that deserves a lot more attention. You start with struggling and after you established some minor form of survival, you can lean into settling and crafting, more skilled scavenging or raiding nests and bandit hideouts. These things can level you up too and not just killing like in many other games. Get buff and a bike with some fuel (very limited for most of the game) or become a leader of a small gang of mercenaries or create your own village and try to thrive, become rich and start filling the village with traders. You also have quit a lot of choice on the economy you lean into if you do create a settlement, but you are not forced to follow that down entirely just because of a location you choose first. You can create as many as you like basically anywhere, if you do have the resources. Make a lumber town or become a booze lord or why not both? You can also lean into ammunition making or farming - which has basically the same resource interests. The combat part has enough tactical factors (in and outside of the combat itself) to consider to be engaging enough, but not dominate your playthrough. You even have the option to flee most of the time and enemies from the f…5 found this helpful
Right now, pityfully, it is peace of ♥♥♥♥, where all you have to do - is drink and eat. I'm not kidding. All food (consered ♥♥♥♥ or just an onion) gives you 480 hungry points. While you eat you lose around 50. Maximum hungry points - around 6000.4 found this helpful
If you're a fan of survival games, this is a very well done simple survival game. It is very hard and has a bit of a learning curve, however once you get into the swing of things - it makes more sense and you learn how to survive. It has the feel of those old 2000s web based mafia games with interesting music and great art.1 found this helpful
I was pleasantly surprised by amount of details put into this fun little game... hopefully one day we will get a sequel
Really nice little survival crafting game, recommended if you liked Neo Scavenger!
Nice little game where you survive, and eventually thrive, in a post apocalyptic Australia as a former rabbit inmate. Go from just barely meeting ends with a flint shiv (not helped by the black hole in your character's stomach) to building your own towns, recruiting aides, trading in outposts and running and gunning with your very own vehicule fleet (till you run out of fuel/bullets/both). The UI take a bit used to, but it really clear once the ball start to roll (protip, everything can be found in the character tab). Combat (especially against over sapient enemies) stay brutal all throught the game, thanks to cumulating penalities you (and your enemies) get at certain health thresholds. A fair post-apo RPG with HEX based battle for its price, all in all !
