Humans have seemingly been obliterated from the city – graffiti reading "RIP Humans" is visible – leaving the animals to fend for themselves against the wide variety of robots posing a threat to their well-being. It appears droids have completely taken over the city, as they can be seen doing everyday activities and tasks, such as dining at a restaurant and gossiping with frie Whether it's Animal Crossing , Pokemon , or Zoo Tycoon animals have a special place in video games and in the hearts of many gaming fans.
