Feralpals is a story-driven, chapter-based horror game created by Polypaw, with this release being Chapter 01: Old Friends

Chapter 1 is 30 to 45 minutes in length 

In an unknown year, humanity was wiped out by a pathogen traced back to their own creations: the Friendly Pals. Originally feral creatures genetically mutated and given human intelligence for mankind's own purposes, the Pals were left behind to mimic the society of their dead creators

You play as Dan , a little guy who gets a phone call from his best friend, Basil, inviting you to an old forest campsite to reunite with childhood friends. But this forest hides a dark past of what is buried inside, and is humanity truly extinct?

I really enjoyed this. Not a huge fan of chase scenes (because I'm not that great at them lol) but I loved the transition between 3rd person and 1st person gameplay. Here's my video on it if anyone is interested.

hey. idk what happened but, my comment disappeared. maybe a bug but, both I and my chat loved the game on stream. I remember you asking where to see it and I have the link... https://www.twitch.tv/melvvorx

Hey, sorry about that. I deleted a comment I made earlier about a situation I overreacted then I realized it wasn’t that big of a deal. Your reply was attached to it, and I didn’t notice, so it got deleted along with my comment, that's all :). thanks for playing!

oh you're quite alright. life happens. Still, hmu when ch2 comes out.

¡Hello! I am a furry content creator (I know you stated that it is not a furry game at all). And this year, I am exploring the niche of indie horror games for my Spanish audience on my YouTube channel. I loved this one because you mixed the normal life of the main character and how his life turned 180 degrees with the now feral friends he has.

I had my feelings turned 180 degrees, also with the kid (Remy). I hated her at first, but then I got worried for her after Basil showed up, not being himself anymore. And you managed to do all that in a short game, so congratulations. I am hoping to see Chapter 2 with more lore about Dan's life, how he ended up in an apartment surrounded by "only families," neighbors, and him still being single. He seems not to know about how humans passed by the way, so I am assuming that he was born many generations after humans died. But anyways! Congrats again, keep doing a good job.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

I'VE NEVER SEEN SCARIER ANIMALS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND SOMEHOW THEY'RE ALL OF MY FRIENDS?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?! Youtube Link -

The game keeps crashing on me at the bridge Cut scene. 

You’re probably using the “Potato” graphics preset, which maxes out the engine optimization (it’s even labeled “may bug”). Try switching it to Balanced or turning it off.

Otherwise, your device might just be struggling to run it, especially in the forest areas, which can get a bit laggy on older devices

Your game is awesome, I loved the story of this one!

I liked the game and the premise. But let's be honest, the characters in this game are furries by definition xD. By the way, I'm sure I posted my video here yesterday and it's gone. I don't understand why you would delete mine out of all the videos; it's the first time this has happened to me, and it's a shame since I've played your games on my channel and enjoyed them.

A fun first chapter on the feral pal universe! Big fan of all the different cinematic angles throughout and very excited to see where the story goes :)

loved it, cant wait for chapter 2

Actually pretty fun! I really liked the worldbuilding and characters, cause a lot of mascot feels dry on those fronts.

Loved the story and the Gameplay! Can't wait for Chapter 2!

great game

great game so far, I'm definitely hype for the rest of the chapters 

 
(+1)

The story has me instantly hooked and I cannot wait to see more from this game.

I love the mix of tank-like/old RE controls and the first person controls. It's something I haven't seen too often and I hope the next chapter(s) play with these perspectives more.

I also hope we'll get deeper lore what exactly makes the Pals go feral and if there is a way to stop it.

Graphics wise the game looks nice, I like the low poly look of the character models a lot.

Gameplay wise I hope we'll get to do more in future chapters, instead of just walking around and running away. The game is not too punishing, checkpoints are well placed and it never felt frustrating

Writing is fun, I like the dynamic between Remy and Dan, other jokes and things are well written/placed!


Cannot wait for the next chapter!

This game was AMAZING. Good jumpscares. The story was exceptional!

Got to say for only being chapter 1 in the series, this is pretty damn solid so far! I cannot wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for sure. The whole idea, story, story building, character building. This is chefs kiss for sure and even though it is in a way, a mascot horror game. This is super original. Made a video on it.

i'll be waiting for chapter 2 : )

I am really looking forward to chapter 2! Story is interesting and I love the characters :)

BRUH. ts is funny

Saw a gameplay from Felixtfox on YouTube and barely some minutes in I went "This looks interesting, maybe I should try it myself first" 

Thankfully this is of the few games my 2015 computer can run smoothly (also tried on my 2008 Thinkpad but it lags from just the poly paw animation onward) Very nice game, the lore is really catching to me, hope to see more! Lemme know if you open a discord server one day! :D

Alrighty, sure I will :D

it's a really well done horror game 5/5 unlike many on this site

(+1)

Such a fun game - got spooky though.  Well done, enjoyed playing this a lot and I am looking forward to the next chapters.

(+1)

There is just so much personality and charm. And the high effort modeling work and expressions really help showcase that better than ever before.

Polypaw has easily become one of my favorite horror devs! All of their games have so much passion and personality in them, and they are always really compelling overall with the story and design!

FERALPALS is no exception, and I cannot wait for more chapters! A lot of great characters, dialogue, cute interactions, interesting world-building and some good jump scares too!

I really enjoyed playing this with my Chat!

(+1)

This was quite fun! I liked how it started off as kinda cute & cosy with a dark twist. I loved the first-person & third person perception changes were nice! I look forward to chapter 2! Those 2 chances in different perceptive was super intense and fun! Added to the challenge. 
I also recommended this to other people!

Excellent experience, you really know how to make a horror game. Cannot wait to see what happens in the future chapters!
