Otherkin/Therian Comfort Games

cattails is a really nice game!! its similar to the warrior cats books in terms of the different groups of cats and territory and what not.. i havent played it in a while but it was really nice to just. be a cat! hunting fish! :]

My sister who is dragonkin often plays Skyrim and Oblivion, due to them having dragonborns and lizard humanoids you can play as. There’s also cat humanoids, and there’s mods you can get for different species to play as. She’s currently trying one that lets you play as a tiger humanoid.

If anyone has a game that allows you to be an angel, or spirit, please lmk ^^ Not much of a gamer but they can be comforting definitely.

Depends on what you mean? If you want dragon feels Titan Uprising is good for just collecting and petting dragons, ie most of those images I didn't quote again (lol), while SoD can be good for just. Being a dragon/drakn. You can run, fly, and shoot, and make the viking player character invisible.

Buuut if you're asking about Gameplay?
I wouldn't recommend any of them.

Yup.

I play all 3 and like I said I wouldn't actually recommend any of them for the Gameplay. Rise of Berk and Titan Uprising are good for me because: (a) drakns (b) my energy is too low for real videogames (c) my energy is very low and I'm bored very often and playing games with real-time cooldowns and dailies works very well for me. I'm also a paying subscriber to both games because without it they're infuriating.

SoD is worse. The graphics are not good. All of the quests are usually go there now go there now come back. I literally don't have any quests left in the game except for in the expansions - which are paid dlc. In the last few years I've only jumped into the game when there were events to grind for prizes.




edit: Rise Of Berk just added an additional $10 subscription thing??

as disappointed as i was with the writing and plot of Werewolf The Apocalypse: Earthblood, i really really liked the wolf content and i think about replaying it often. you can just switch between human and wolf at the touch of a button and in combat you can be a huge anthro wolf

wolfquest has been a HUGE comfort game since 2009, and the new anniversary edition is pretty great for that too. i really enjoy the scenery there.

i also have been getting into vrchat, which helps a little with kinfeels too.... i enjoy how many forest maps there are, but i think the aforementioned wolfquest anniversary edition has spoiled me a bit, so i can be a bit picky about what sort of forest maps i want to visit... aside from forest maps though i also just like general landscapes.

and other than those games... hmm, hard to really think of any others i've played to the same degree... back in the day, i'd play an obscene amount of skyrim, and i'd spend most of my game-hours as a werewolf, LOL. no mods or anything, just oldrim on xbox 360, no dlc either.

the shelter series is nice for it too - not quite wolf / cat, but i still enjoy 1/2/meadow a lot.

i used to play the endless forest, too, for similar 'woodland animal kin' reasons, though that's another game that lacks my kintypes. i still really liked the atmosphere. (though i disagree with how they've been working on the remake..... slow progress, barely any devlogs, etc.... i backed the remake ages ago but kinda wish i'd saved the money for something else.)

Animal crossing is my favourite for kin feels ^w^ even tho you're the only human in an animal world, u can dress yourself in animal print and dog snouts and animal hoods o(>w<)o also, i'm decorating my entire island to be snow leopard themed, so it's so fun to get to immerse myself into my kintype and build my home <3

i find minecraft kind of species affirming(?), but that has less to do with anything inherent to the game and more so how i chose to play it. i sometimes use a skin and playstyle that matches my 'type. there's a lot of hunting and exploring the wilderness too, so that's kind of cool. also, i play with Mizuno's 16 Craft texture pack, which makes the villagers look like anthro animals, so I'm not the only one of my species in the whole mc world!

animal jam and fer.al (RIP 😔) are also very pretty nice with respect to being one's species. i once played this warrior cats roblox game. i wasn't able to really roleplay or whatever else you're supposed to do in the game, but the character customization was really nice and made me species euphoric! i also played furvilla for a while when it first came out. i didn't end up liking the gameplay all too much, but i imagine maybe some others in this thread might still like it for species-related reasons. The original Petz series is also really fun, but that's more about taking care of a pet than being the pet.

idk if this really counts as a game, but my brother has a vr headset and plays vrchat a lot. he doesn't know i'm alterhuman, but he does know that i'm involved in the furry fandom and have a fursona. he's offered to help me import a model of my sona (or at least a model similar to my 'sona) into the game and let me borrow his headset so that i can "truely be" my fursona. i'm really hoping if i do this, it'll alleviate some species dysphoria i've been having lately.
