About I Wani Hug that Gator!

I Wani Hug that Gator! is a Ren'Py visual novel by Cavemanon, presented with animated 2D character art. You play Inco, a human transfer student at St. Hammond High, an arts-focused school filled with dinosaur classmates. Choices shape friendships, rivalries, and romance, especially with the bold baryonyx Olivia, and determine the ending. The story blends furry characters with humor.

The current build is v1.7.1, released on January 12, 2025, and development continues. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, with English, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Polish, Russian, Swedish, and Thai language options. It is uncensored, but the content is not sexually explicit. The latest update improved Swedish translation and fixed Steam achievement syncing. The v1.7.0 update also added Thai support and mod menu fixes.

Developer's description

I Wani Hug that Gator! is a choice-driven narrative about teenagers struggling to find their way. Here's the picture: You're Inco, a new human transfer student to St. Hammond High, where the curriculum is focused on the Arts. There you'll meet a number of colorful new friends such as the captivating baryonyx Olivia, along with other dinosaurs that are more vibrant than the canvases they paint on. As the only human in this Jurassic school, you'll have to consider your choices in order to thrive. Spoiler: More Wait, what do you mean we’re moving?! Just great; just when Inco was getting ready to move on into his Senior year, his parents decide to uproot his life and move half-way across the country! Guess it’s time to start all over. Sure, Inco didn’t have many friends (or any) back at his old school, and sure, he was so low on the social ladder that he had to get a deep-sea diving lesson…. Wait, why was he complaining about moving again? I Wani Hug that Gator is a multi-ended, choices-matter visual novel about second chances and the power of accepting who you are. Shape how Inco makes the most of his final year, and how the relationships he makes along the way will develop. One relationship in particular has him feeling all fuzzy inside… The Prehistoric Romance a Million-and-One Years in the making! If there’s one good thing to come out of Inco’s sudden relocation, it’s Olivia. Bold and brash, Olivia seems particularly gifted in getting under Inco’s skin. No matter how Inco slices it, he and Olivia seem destined to go together like a particularly scaly sandwich. But the outcome of such a pairing is yet to be determined… Wait, am I being graded on this?! Make friends, reconcile enemies, and figure out how Inco could possibly repair his miserable excuse for a social life. But be warned: The choices you make expands the relationships with Inco’s classmates and determines which of the four unique endings you receive. Maybe Inco should’ve spent a little less time studying and a bit more time learning how to relate to people… Spoiler: Trailer

Alright, so, whenever I search under the monster girl tag, I sometimes see this game pop up somewhere. Honestly, when I had first downloaded it, I thought I would just end up getting a poorly written story (like most VNs)…
