Throw the best possible party for the President of the Animal Congress in 3 Halves Games‘ cute narrative-driven game, Animal Crackers.
It is the President’s birthday and you are the only member of the Independent party. You clearly won’t be swayed by any of the President’s opinions, so you have been tasked with preparing this very last minute puzzle. As an adorable mouse, there are exactly 8 items that make up a perfect party: a main meal, drinks, snacks, a desert, decorations, entertainment, a gift, and a special guest.
You will need to travel around, visiting shops and talking to various other animals to find exactly what you are looking for. There are lots of options in the town from fancy restaurants to small local cafes, and from huge, luxurious gifts fit for a king, or medium-tier electronics. With all of these different options, you need to talk to the locals and hear what they know about the President. Some might even offer up new items to think about taking.
These different characters really make the game for me; each one has their own personality and thoughts. From animals who just want to be left alone, to shopkeepers who enjoy wearing bee outfits – the charm of the town really shows in Animal Crackers. If only I could invite more of them to this wonderful party I am planning.
Once you have your 8 items, you can set up the party and see what your leader thinks. He will rate each item and give your party a score. With four different endings, you might want to see what combinations force each reaction. If you listened to what other people have said about the President, you might end up pleasing them beyond what you expected. Either way, it is sure to be a party worth remembering.
Animal Crackers is available for free on itch.io. Currently, the developers are also selling a sticker sheet of their wonderful characters.
