Play as one of several wild animals, including predators, herbivores, and birds, each with different ways of finding food and facing danger. For example, a cougar can stalk and ambush prey, while a red deer forages and watches for predators.
Explore the wilderness to locate food, water, and places to rest. Hunt or forage, identify points of interest, and avoid or fight other animals as you try to stay alive; the experience is primarily a survival sandbox with some simple tasks.
Customize an animal’s appearance and traits, and develop its stats as you play. You can also gather same-species companions into a small group, claim a den, and take part in social and family activities such as raising young.
Players who enjoy The WILDS often appreciate choosing from a range of animals, exploring its natural scenery, and the calming feel of living as a wild animal. Some also like the survival activities, animal customization, and forming packs. Others find the available activities limited or repetitive, and reviews frequently mention bugs, control problems, and the game’s unfinished state; opinions on how enjoyable it is vary.
Welcome to The WILDS, a unique journey into the unforgiving wilderness where you take on the lives of iconic animals tasked with just one thing, survival. Learn to stalk through tall grass as a Cougar and ambush your prey. Forage for food and water as a Red Deer while staying vigilant for ferocious predators that are lurking in the depths of the forest for a meal of their own. Take on the challenges of life in the wild and establish your place in the hierarchy of the Animal Kingdom.
The wilderness can be harsh but you won't have to face the world alone. Form and maintain strong bonds with other wild animals to create your own pack. Claim secluded dens where your new family can make a home to rest, socialize, and even breed babies!
Ten playable animals already added including the Wolf, Deer, Bear, Raven, Raccoon, Cougar, Boar, Fox, Moose, and the brand new Eagle!
Create your perfect animals with dozens of customizable physical features, personality traits, and abilities! Everything about your animal will contribute to their various strengths and weaknesses as they strive to survive.
Gorgeous sunsets over crystal clear lakes, moonbeams glowing down through towering pines, and snow covered peaks during harsh winter storms. The world around you will change dynamically through the year bringing brand new experiences each new day!
The goal is ultimate immersion for you to live your life as an animal. Grass bends under your foot, dirt is kicked up by your stomping hoof, a cold puff of fog from your panting wolf in winter. No detail will be ignored.
Disclaimer: The WILDS development is currently on hiatus while I retrain myself with Unreal Engine after the Unity Runtime Fee debacle. I am currently working on some learner games before I attempt the rebuild of The WILDS.
