Why Animalis exists
Animalis is built around one idea: getting people out into nature and appreciating wild animals.
Most of us walk past more wildlife in a day than we realise — the beetles in the verge, the wren in the hedge, the ibis on the playing field, the gecko by the porch light. Animalis turns noticing them into the game. Nothing in it can be done from a sofa: every capture starts outside, looking closely at a real creature, long enough to photograph it.
The mechanics all point the same way. Your collection is whatever genuinely lives where you are, so exploring a new park, coast, or forest means finding genuinely different animals. Every capture fills an encyclopedia with the species' real taxonomy, habitat, and conservation status — and discovering an endangered species earns a bonus, because the reward is awareness. Even the globe on the front page is part of it: a planet quietly filling up with moments where someone stopped to look at an animal.
Who makes it
Hi — I'm Robert. Animalis is a one-person project, made with a lot of care: a game that's genuinely fun, where the fun happens to live outdoors.
