It's been about a decade since Nintendo released its last remake of Star Fox, originally a space shooter featuring furry characters for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1993, so Nintendo is finally moving forward with another version, to be released next month, June 25.

Inspector Waffles (trailer) is a 2021 adventure game by Goloso Games, best described as a fun, casual point-and-click, available on multiple platforms.

Waffles is a feline detective going through a rough period, drinking alcoholic milk and blaming himself for what happened to his partner in the Cat Town Police Department. When a new, high-profile case comes his way, involving the murder of a box magnate, he's teamed up with a sniffer dog named Spotty to solve the mystery.

Everyone loves Steam Next Fest here at Gaming Furever! Our staff goes through the entire list of games published in the Fest to find and list each and every one that features anthropomorphic character(s), or features animals as a focus. This time, we went through all 3450+ games to get to this list of 370+ games. We could've missed a couple, but we hope this is an all-encompasing list for this season's available games! Almost every one has a demo, so go have fun and wishlist the ones that pique your interest!

We have an actively updated Furry & Animal Games & Developers List over at @GamingFurever on Twitter and another List over @GamingFurever on Bluesky that you can follow and get constant updates for lots of indie titles with TONS of lovely furry characters!

If you're a developer of any of these games, feel free to hit us up on email over on our Contact Us page!

Time estimate: 28 - 34 hours (Thomas [Fox] Playthough)
Available: XBox,Steam
Game Type: Narrative based Slice of Life RPG with resource management elements
Elements of Game not Reviewed: Bob [Panther] Playthrough, combat elements

Back to the Dawn is a computer game where your character Thomas, a fox journalist, ends up in prison by a corrupt mayor looking to quash a story about a facility plant polluting a nearby community that the politician’s relatives “allegedly” have some stake in. Your imprisonment comes 21 days before the re-election campaign that will ensure his corruption will remain for many years to come. In this game and story you will need to lead Thomas on his mission to prove his innocence, or perhaps find a way to flee the prison and corrupt metropolis that has put a target on his back.

This is a life simulator RPG mixed with time and resource management. You’ll need to play to your strengths to acquire items and information that can help you on your journey to freedom, all while the system wants to break your mind and body so that you give up or give in.

You can also play as another character who acts as an NPC in Thomas’s quest. Bob the black panther is an undercover officer who is assigned to the prison and has an entire quest unique to him. I did not play that to review however.

Hello everybody and welcome to the first episode in 2026 of Digging Up Positivity!

In this episode we have quite some animation news, an interview of the man behind The Friendliest Skunk, a really awesome video game, and of course a ton of charities by our wonderfully weird fandom!

Welcome to a new episode of Digging Up Positivity! This month we are having a wonderful interview with a very awesome force behind the Furry VR community, and with the holiday season starting, I would like you to be a part of the Furry Charity Index at the end of this year! More information after the charities! We also have some wonderful animation news, positive vibes but first:

Time estimate: 8 hours
Available: Steam,PlayStation
Game Type: Visual Novel w/ World Exploration

It starts like most noir stories, with a raccoon private detective asked to check up on a wife’s spouse who she suspects of cheating. But what starts off a simple case may lead to something far deeper than the private detective had in mind. Tails Noir (formerly known as Backbone) is an exploration and visual novel-like game where you take control of a private eye raccoon as he investigates a local speakeasy-like club called the Bite.

It's Steam Next Fest time here at Gaming Furever! That means it's time for us to scour the huge gamut of upcoming games to find every one featuring all types of fur, scales, feathers, and animal features! Every game that we could find that featured an anthropomorphic character, or featured animals as a focus is on this list. Yes, we went through all 2800+ games to get to this list of 280+ games.

This latest round of censorship started in late June when Fansly announced that they were removing adult furry content from their services at the call of their payment processors MasterCard and Visa. But not content to just go after the fledgling services that are derived from OnlyFans, the processors also set their sights on larger targets including the gaming markets of Steam and Itch.io in late July.

In their statement, Fansly indicated that the card services equated adult furry content with "simulated beastiality”:

Policy Clarifications:
Anthropomorphic Content - Our payment processing partners classify some anthropomorphic content as simulated beastiality. As a general guideline, Kemonomimi (human-like characters with animal ears/tails) is permitted, but full fursonas, Kemono, and scalie content are prohibited in adult contexts.

-Fansly policy update

However, it should be noted that if (and only if) furries who are engaged in consensual adult acts can be referred to as simulated beastiality, then it would also be accurate to refer to MasterCard and Visa, who charge well over 20% in interest on money borrowed through their services to the often fiscally-illiterate general public, as "simulated slavery services". It's a bit harsh, and in both cases from a technically legal standpoint, inaccurate.

It seems like just yesterday (or February, if you want to be technical) that we had a Steam Next Fest. Well, we here at GF are back with the June 2025 edition list! Every game that we could find that featured an anthropomorphic character, or featured animals primarily, is on this list. Yes, we went through all 2500+ games to get to this list of 260+ games.

We have an actively updated Furry & Animal Games & Developers List over at @GamingFurever and that you can follow and get constant updates for lots of indie titles with TONS of lovely furry characters! (We're still working on a Bluesky version!)

There are over 150 games to peruse this time around! Enjoy!

A janitor finds himself on the night shift as a desperate CEO presses for his employees to work later into the dark for the week. This would normally just be an annoying inconvenience, but for Kyle the janitor, there are far worse implications to this situation as in the darkness of night, the humble cleaner becomes a bloodthirsty werewolf. As the head of security, Daryl, starts to become wary of the presence of the beast and becomes obsessed with bringing him down, will our precariously employed wolf be able to clean up the messes assigned to him and not create any new ones caused by satisfying his carnivorous appetite? The hunt is on.

The game’s premise is quite simple, and the game is short, which is probably why it is offered for no cost on Steam. When I streamed the game I was able to beat it in about an hour, and subsequently was able to replay the pre-designed levels for each day to lower my times and be as pacifistic as possible. It took me one additional hour to get all the visible accolades.

Welcome to The Furry Game Awards 2024, presented by Gaming Furever! Every year, we'll come together as a staff and decide on our most beloved, most played, and most exceptional games from the past year of new gaming experiences. 2024 was filled to the brim with so many games featuring anthropomorphic characters and animals. It was hard to choose just one winner for all of these categories, and the separation between the nominees and ultimately the winner was miniscule. All of the games on these lists are highly recommended by our staff, and we can't wait to continue enjoying them! 

Check out the Full list of Winners on Gaming Furever!

What were some of YOUR favorite games this year? Let us know in the comments!
 
 

WARNING: READ BEFORE PLAYING

Liar's Bar contains intense and graphic depictions of violence and death, themes of suicide, and other mature content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Player discretion is adviced. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek help from a qualified professional or contact a local mental health service. Your well-being is important to us, and we encourage players to prioritize their mental health while engaging with our game.

The game features mature themes, and is intended for adult audiences only. If you are under 16, please step outside.

This warning is one of the first things you see after booting up Liar's Bar. I want to stress, and I don't care what you think of "trigger warnings", this warning is not kidding. This is a messed up, repugnant game; I think I kind of love it. (It also contains depictions of tobacco use.)

Okay, real talk, this is kind of a dark streak of submissions from this contributor (thank goodness for animated movies ... with jokes about infant mortality!), this game might be the most worrisome yet. I retweeted some fan art of the game, then realized, out of context, that might not look like something entirely, well, healthy to be reposting. Because the marquis attraction of Liar's Bar is that it's basically a furry Russian roulette simulator. Just so you know what you're getting into.

Liar's Bar is published by Curve Animation, and is currently available on Steam for $6.99, where it is still an "Early Access" game.
