Ailuri is an adorable 2D side scroller that promotes awareness of endangered species.

Games that feature cute and cuddly animals are basically our bread and butter here at myPotatoGames. From the big hits like Animal Crossing: New Horizons down to the epic Indies like Snacko, we just can’t get enough of games that contain charming critters. Not only does Ailuri have one of the cutest pandas that you have ever seen, the game also has the wholesomeness of delivering a powerful and meaningful message. Having a protagonist in a video game that is a part of an endangered species is a wonderful and ingenious way to spread to awareness.

Ailuri is currently in production and being completely hand drawn, to help add to the alluring aesthetic. The current planned release of this charming title is late this year. The initial release will be on Steam for $14.99USD, but it may come to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. With such a beautiful message, and what appears to be some pretty delightful artwork, we will certainly be keeping an eye on Ailuri, and will have more information when it becomes available.
