Party Animals, a game where adorable corgis and grumpy gorillas battle it out on an airplane, is not the ideal setting for discussing the permanence of death. However, within the first minute of gameplay, a terrifying yet hilarious tragedy can unfold.
When starting the game for the first time, most players begin with the tutorial. In Party Animals, the tutorial teaches the basics, such as jumping, grabbing, and climbing. To demonstrate movement, there is a small decline where players are meant to build momentum and jump to the other side. Failing to make the jump simply requires walking up the incline and trying again. It’s beginner stuff that shouldn’t take more than a minute.
Unfortunately, some players have had less fortunate experiences. In the previous room, there are line ropes similar to those found at movie theaters. If you attempt to walk through the ropes instead of around them, you’ll find yourself unintentionally entangled.
But that’s not the end of it. Party Animals has a knack for taking cruelty to the next level. If you continue dragging the rope into the room with the decline and walk off, you’ll find yourself hanging by the neck, as some fans discovered today. The heavy rope line acts as an anchor, suspending your character in the air. With enough struggle, you can eventually free yourself, but it’s a distressing sight to witness.
If you’re curious, this disturbing scenario is incredibly easy to recreate and showcase to your friends. It’s both hilarious and unsettling that this can be done without any glitches, mere minutes into playing the game.
However, above all, this “feature” serves as a humbling lesson. Perhaps the next time you dropkick a duck and toss its unconscious body into a swamp of poisonous gas, you can remind yourself of your own mortality.
Just because you’re an animal doesn’t mean you have to behave like a monster.
