Comic Mischief

Game Description

You've built and lived in a sprawling Sim City. Now, escape to the country! In Sim Animals, you'll enter a vast forest where you'll meet and interact with wild animals in their natural habitat. Almost everything you see can be picked up, touched, or moved, including the animals themselves! You'll encounter rabbits, hedgehogs, foxes, owls, squirrels, bears, and more. In order to travel deeper into the woods, you'll need to help the animals you meet. The happier you make them, the further you can go. Interact directly with the environment using the Stylus or blow into the mic and solve problems with a gust of wind!
