The story in the game unfolds as players guide their rabbit character through survival and village-building in an open world, with a focus on resource management and settlement expansion. While it offers a competent narrative, the game is noted for its streamlined mechanics and accessibility compared to similar titles, making it engaging without being overly complex. Overall, it provides a satisfying blend of survival elements and storytelling within the furry genre.
“Once your wayward rabbit survives the outback for a week or two, though, things open up significantly - the storyline will lead you through founding your first village, you can set up worksites at natural resource nodes to offload gruntwork on settlers, and with farms feeding you, crossing 40 tiles for a mission will be much more viable... if you prepare appropriately.”
“Top off with an open world, satisfying if basic survival mechanics, a mercenary-hiring system, a settlement building system, and a competently written story for a fine addition to the disappointingly small selection of 'sfw furry games worth a damn.'”
“Some notable differences are that 'Pawsecuted' is less story/mystery driven, a bit more streamlined, and the game feels more accessible and open. You can do any of the actions in the game, whereas in 'NS' you are locked out of things depending on your profession/choices, and the combat feels way more engaging, in control, and fun.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters and their motivations.”
“While the gameplay mechanics are enjoyable, the narrative fails to deliver a compelling experience, leaving players wanting more substance.”
“The plot is predictable and uninspired, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”

The gameplay offers a compelling blend of survival mechanics, resource scavenging, and strategic decision-making, reminiscent of titles like Neo Scavenger and Day R Survival. Players can engage in mercenary hiring and settlement building within an open world, making for a challenging and rewarding experience, particularly appealing to fans of "sfw furry games."
“The gameplay is challenging and rewarding, with a focus on scavenging for resources and making strategic decisions to stay alive.”
“An interesting mix of Neo Scavenger, Day R Survival (mobile game), and a touch of Caravaneer, albeit sans the economy mechanic, plus, naturally, furries.”
“Top off with an open world, satisfying if basic survival mechanics, a mercenary-hiring system, a settlement building system, and a competently written story for a fine addition to the disappointingly small selection of 'SFW furry games worth a damn.'”
“The gameplay feels like an interesting mix of Neo Scavenger, Day R Survival (mobile game), and a touch of Caravaneer, albeit without the economy mechanic.”

Players find grinding to be a compelling aspect of the game, as it encourages them to repeatedly engage with similar environments to acquire better loot, enhance their strength, and gather essential resources like water.
“Grinding feels repetitive and tedious, making the game more of a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
“The constant need to grind for resources takes away from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“While grinding is meant to enhance progression, it often feels like a never-ending slog that detracts from the fun.”
