It's Life Without People: The Video Game.

It's also definitely a thing.

Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing yet. I definitely see the charm of it, but also see the inevitable grind of it.

I was also very glad my cats were curled up next to me on the couch during the first real story mission. It made me sad. (spoilers!)

Sadly, I've already found a bug in the game. I started the first Survival mission as the Pomeranian, and went ahead and did some of the challenges on the screen...Before they were unlocked. Apparently you have to do them in order. Unfortunately, I completed the "overtake this area" challenge before that challenge was open, so I could not progress. So, I restarted, and immediately spawned next to a Beagle and was immediately killed, skewing my stats. Finally got it the third time through.

There are a few plushies available for free on the PSN Store, but I can't figure out what they're used for? They're not in the in-game store even though I downloaded them all.

I'm not sure how far I'll make it in the game, I can see it getting a little bit too repetitive for my tastes. Definitely glad that they gave it a shot in the US, which is why I don't regret my purchase. Anyone else here tried it? What do you think?

I'm enjoying it, certainly not worth the price asked in Japan though. I can sit down and and play for short bursts and not have to think about anything

But I am getting a fair bit of slowdown though :S

The plushies aren't bought in the store, they're already attached to the animal. Just start a survival round, go into dress up and they are classed as shirts

Yeah. It can get grindey, but it's something different.... really different. Thanks to being a psplus member, I got it on the cheap so I recommend it.

Plus equipping your dog in tight s&m leather and having him fight cats in safety helmets is a sight to see.
