As seen in the trailer below, the game apparently commits to its froggy bit by recording all of the dialogue as ribbit sounds. However, the English translations appear on-screen.<\/p>\n<p>  https:\/\/youtu.be\/0rMcYmfuwTY  Bye Bye Bonnie <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Developer<\/strong>: Brainwash Gang and Raw Fury<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Systems<\/strong>: PC<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Release Date<\/strong>: TBD<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bye Bye Bonnie is also a four-player co-op adventure at a decidedly smaller scale. These creatures are minuscule compared to the world around them. Even their ship is small, although it&#8217;s large enough that the characters have to jump up and down on the controls to guide it through the obstacles ahead.<\/p>\n<p>  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Illo-K0Jsvo  Haunted Paws <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Developer<\/strong>: LazyFlock<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Systems<\/strong>: PC, Switch, Switch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Gamescom Opening Night Live and the Future Games Show, we can&#8217;t help noticing that there are multiple titles coming up that let players either assume control of an animal or play anthropomorphic characters who resemble human\/animal hybrids.
