Feral Planet

Earth is done. What's left of humanity is scattering across the stars looking for anywhere else to live, and you're the scout sent down to check whether one particular planet will do. It won't, not for the reasons you expect, because the place is already home to dragons, canines, felines, griffins, and a whole lot of other creatures who are very interested in the two-legged visitor who just landed.

The setup is simple exploration turned first-contact problem: assess the world, meet its inhabitants, and figure out which of them you're willing to get close to. The overview frames it as a choice of paths rather than a single fixed story, so who you side with is on you.

Play runs through text-based scenes and turn-based encounters, RPG-style, with the alien-among-monsters premise doing the heavy lifting rather than any elaborate systems. Don't expect animation here; this one tells its story with text and stills.
