You're trapped in an animal cartoon.

While cleaning out your basement, you discover an old CRT television with a mysterious VHS tape already waiting inside. Curiosity wins, and after pressing play, you're introduced to an obscure 2008 children's cartoon called Barker & Friends!

The episode seems perfectly ordinary... until it ends.

The screen glitches, your consciousness is pulled into the television, and you awaken inside Anivillage as one of its animal residents. Time outside the tape has completely stopped, and escaping may be far more difficult than simply finding a way home.

Meet Barker, the endlessly cheerful dog who always seems to know more than he should.

Mitsy, the kind-hearted cat.

Felix, the curious fox.

Ollie, the quiet koala who watches everything a little too closely...

It looks like an innocent children's show.

It probably isn't.

There's a repetitive animal quirk like "bark!" and "meow!". They usually do this on the start or the end of their sentence. You can do this if you want, or don't. This may not apply for the animals who don't have noticable quirks such as Foxes and Koalas.

You can be any animal character you want, just mention your animal in the start of your message.

Also, most of the characters who aren't aware aren't blinking, this applies to the non-aware mains, natural, and human brainwashed residents. A human resident will blink but it'll progressively becoming less frequent the more they're brainwashed
