Vivisector: Beast Within - a game that needs a bit of lov...
4 years ago
Ok, so i know i don't use this thing very ofthen, but i think this is an ocasion important enough to buck that trend.
See, I stumbled on this old game called Vivisector: Beast Within.
The reason i am sharing this with you, the furry community, is because this game is kind of full of anthropomorphic animals ( and IMO pretty good looking ones ). Saddly most seem to be enemies, but still...
Now i have to warn you this is a 2005 game so don't have too high expectations ( some lackluster outside enviroments, somewhat dated level and game designs, almost non existent story, stilted dialogue, very inverted difficulty curve, etc. ), but i can honestly say it has some of the best looking anthros i have seen in games to date. And despite it's drawbacks the game itself is perfectly playable ( on windows at least, your mailage may varry on anything else ).
It's sort of a 3D shooter that is a combination between Duke nukem 3D, Quake 2 and maybe a bit of Bioshock ( with a lot of Quake 2 aestethics ) set in an "Island of Dr. Monroe" scenario. And it is viollent and gory, so, maybe give this a pass if you are not old enough or the above mentioned adjectives are not your thing.
Now, this was not a very successfull game unfortunatelly... to the point that i am not aware of a single digital store that sells it. So asside from buying a physical copy... you're fresh out of luck if you would like to get it legally ( please correct me if I'm wrong, as I would like to purchase it digitally ).
And well, to cover my own a*s, i can't tell you how to actually get it otherwise... The only thing i can say is that "Google is your friend" ( in this matter at least ).
And having said that, I hope you will give it a shot. It's a bit rough around the edges, but i think it's worth it.
Cheers!

And i was happy to see that not all the anthros were enemies ( the Lion and the bull were non hostile ).
Still, am happy i was recommended this game as i did enjoy my time with it despite all it's drawbacks.
And i was happy to see that not all the anthros were hostile ( the lion and the bull were the exceptions... i take what i can get ).
It's such a shame it's not available digitally. I think despite it's flaws, it shows that passion went in to creating it and I'm happy to hear that somebody who wouldn't have known about it gave it a shot.
Thank you.
