Party Animals, previously one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, has come under fire since its release earlier this week, with scores of players calling out developer Recreate Games for what they say was false advertising.
This all stems from the game’s description of its offline (and online) multiplayer, which originally read: “Paw it out with your friends both online and offline”.
But Party Animals does not have an offline mode. As a result, many owners have left negative comments about the release.
However, Party Animals developer Recreate Games has now stated this has all been a case of mistranslation. In a new blog post, the studio has sought to clear up “confusion” around the game’s now-changed description, and said that English was not the team’s first language.
