According to WildWorks, the game was made to be much like the popular game Animal Jam, except it is targeted towards those 13 and older. Players also now have "the opportunity to go out into this world to find stuff and craft with it, and make those items, design those items [themself] and trade those with friends." Players can also "design something that from the beginning gives [the player] the opportunity and the encouragement to make stuff in there, making stuff with [their] character, make stuff with [their] friends, whether it's video, it’s images, [or] it's artwork that [they] exchange in there and we tie it into [their] social networks outside of here."
Trivia
- The game is in a 3D style, however, camera and movement position are much different from WildWorks' previous games such as Animal Jam: Play Wild.
- Animal Jam accounts and Feral accounts are totally separate.
- Monetization of the game will not be done over gameplay restrictions, but rather cosmetics (appearance-improvement, crafting, etc).
- It is not a linear game with a set storyline or ending, but is rather open-world.
- The game was first mentioned through a short-lived Instagram post on May 4th, 2019 and was more officially announced at the UDEN #22 meeting on May 26th of that same year.
- The game was shut down in 2022. It was supposed to reopen on February 19th for 24 more hours, but the date was eventually pushed to March 26th, and the amount of time it was open shortened to only three hours, with all methods of chat and communication with other players having been disabled.
