Q: Was there a promise of an offline mode for Party Animals on Steam and Xbox?

A: Yes, an earlier description of Party Animals on Steam mentioned both online and offline modes. The phrase "Paw it out with your friends both online and offline" was later changed to specify only online play, leading to confusion and disappointment among players.

Q: What did Recreate Games say about the change in the game's description?

A: Recreate Games clarified on the Steam forums that the description intended to highlight split-screen play on the same device as "offline." They regretted the resulting confusion and confirmed they won't be adding a traditional offline mode. It also noted English isn't their first language.

Q: Do I need an online connection for local multiplayer in Party Animals?

A: Yes, you do. Despite the ability to play in a local setting on the same device, the game requires a connection to its online servers for local multiplayer, which has been a point of contention for many players.
