Italian Animals Check is a lighthearted yet mentally engaging indie game developed by quirky creator Lorenzo Ricci, an Italian game designer known for blending satire with social mechanics. In this game, players take on the role of an immigration officer for talking animals with suspicious paperwork, and not all creatures have good intentions. The goal? Spot fake identities, uncover inconsistencies, and prevent the notorious villain Sahur from sneaking past your checkpoint in various ridiculous disguises. Inspired by classic titles like Papers, Please and the viral sensation This Is Not My Neighbor, this game challenges your attention to detail while keeping the mood playful and absurd.
