Info about Moo Who?:

Official game description:
Moo Who? is a multiplayer voice-mimicry party game where animal players hide among NPC herds while hunters try to figure out who is fake.
**Sound Like an Animal**
------------------------
Every animal player must use their microphone to mimic their assigned species.
Moo like a cow. Cluck like a chicken. Oink like a pig. Baa like a sheep.
Just make it believable enough to survive.
**Don’t Let the Flies Find You**
--------------------------------
You can’t hide silently forever.
When the sound-pressure moment begins, make your animal sound before it is too late. If you fail, buzzing flies will appear around you and make your location easier for hunters to spot.
**Shoot Only When You’re Sure**
-------------------------------
Hunters carry a shotgun, but every shot matters.
Shoot the wrong animal and you waste your chance. Shoot the real player and the hunters get closer to victory.
**Play With Friends**
---------------------
Play online with 2–8 players in short, chaotic matches full of panic, suspicion, fake confidence, wrong accusations, and terrible animal sounds.

Common complaints:
- AI-made game criticized heavily (weight 0.64): Multiple reviewers claim the game is made mostly by AI, and the UI, menus, animals, and mechanics are also attributed to AI. They view this negatively and feel the whole game is poor, soulless, and low effort.
- Hunting mechanics are unbalanced (weight 0.42): The hunter has unlimited shots, ammo fills automatically, allowing random shooting without strategy. The hunter mechanic is considered the worst part of the game, and aiming at animals is difficult and ineffective. Also, the hunter can become overwhelmed when not finding someone.

- Voice features work poorly (weight 0.26): The voice sound does not match the in-game character, high voice volume is required and not easy, and the fly countdown does not count when you talk. These combined issues make voice communication problematic.
- Gameplay is buggy and unclear (weight 0.25): Gameplay is described as buggy, and an update broke the game. Also, some things are not clear like when the lobby is closed or a host rejection sends you back to the main menu. This indicates a lack of polish and unclear communication.
- Multiplayer session has flaws (weight 0.18): The multiplayer session is abruptly ended when a host leaves, causing frustration. Additionally, players can team up and share positions via Discord, which may lead to unfair advantages.

- Review bombing and botted reviews (weight 0.08): One reviewer believes the game reviews are being botted, a practice they dislike. This suggests a potential manipulation of public perception, which adds to the negative impression of the game.

Gameplay feedback:

- Recording and repeating sounds (weight 0.3): Players can record their chosen animal's sound at the start of a session and then reuse it during rounds, though they may also make live noises. This recording option adds depth to the vocal mechanic.

- Hunter role identifies players (weight 0.21): A designated hunter hunts animals and must identify real players by hearing differences in their sounds. The hunter role is central to the game's tension and requires careful listening.

- Hunter overcome challenge potential (weight 0.1): The hunter may get overwhelmed if they cannot find a player, indicating potential balance issues. This adds a challenge element for the hunter role.

Performance notes:
- Performance mostly smooth but inconsistent (weight 0.21): One reviewer states the game runs without noticeable lag, while another reports struggling to maintain 100 FPS on a high-end 5080 GPU, suggesting variable optimization.
