Animal Company is a 2024 virtual reality adventure and action game developed and released by Wooster Games. The game involves controlling legless animals through hand movements to interact with others online casually. As of June 2025, Animal Company is only on Meta Quest, although it has been announced that it will be coming to SteamVR.[1] Animal Company takes inspiration from Gorilla Tag by including its arm-powered locomotion mechanic and low-poly animal avatars,[2] but it switches things up by essentially replicating the game loop of Lethal Company, which is where the name comes from.[2]
