Zniw Adventure ("Zniw" is pronounced like "zniff," according to the in-game encyclopedia) is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Azure Mountain and published by Azure Mountain and Kurki Games. It was released on November 6, 2020. The game is notable for its hand-drawn animation inspired by cartoons from The '90s, as well as depicting dinosaurs to be accurate to the latest scientific discoveries while keeping them cartoony.The game takes place 75 million years ago, in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals who have their own towns and buildings. Our protagonist is Zniw, a young female ornithopod of ambiguous species who lives in the town of Wajapulka. Zniw wakes up one morning to realize, in a panic, that it's her mother's hatchday, and she doesn't have a gift for her. Zniw tries to buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers at a store across the street, but another dinosaur buys it before she can. Zniw gets the idea to make a necklace out of pebbles, but due to a series of unfortunate events, she loses the first pebble she had, gets spooked by a carnivorous dino, and falls off a cliff, causing her to get lost far from home. The player must guide Zniw on a journey back to Wajapulka, during which she will meet tons of quirky characters, solve puzzles, collect items, collect shiny pebbles as a bonus sidequest, eat various plants and fungi, and more.You can purchase it on Steam here. A sequel, Zid Journey was successfully Kickstarted and has a Steam page here, but is not currently released. | |

Meek Mesozoic Mammal | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_100070c5 | comment |
Meek Mesozoic Mammal: Averted. Small mammals appear, but they are not anthropomorphic or civilized like the dinosaurs are. Instead, they are animalistic creatures that the dinosaurs treat as pests. The player is clearly meant to sympathize more with the dinosaurs than the mammals. Some dinos are tasked with catching mammals to keep them out of their food supplies. It's never outright stated if any dinos eat mammals, although there is one segment where Zniw helps a dino catch some mammals, and each time Zniw gives a mammal to the dino, he turns away from the camera and does... something with it. Considering that it's heavily implied that some dinosaurs still eat each other despite being anthropomorphic, it's definitely possible that some dinos eat mammals. | |

Crappy Homemade Gift | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_195f7170 | comment |
Crappy Homemade Gift: Invoked. In the opening cutscene, Zniw's little brother shows off a crayon drawing he made of him and his mother, as his gift for his mother's hatchday. Zniw's older sister smugly shows off her gift, a fancy golden necklace, bringing her brother to tears. We never see how Zniw's mother reacts to these gifts, though. | |

Reluctant Monster | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_2277e005 | comment |
Reluctant Monster: Implied. Near the beginning of the game, Zniw is frightened by the sudden appearance of a Daspletosaurus (a large, carnivorous dinosaur similar to the T. rex.) However, the Daspletosaurus seemed like she simply wanted to talk to her, although this is unclear because she isn't seen again for the rest of the game. | |

| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_241dac3a | comment |
Wise Old Turtle: An elderly, anthropomorphic turtle is a friendly NPC in the Scattered Woods. She gives Zniw directions to help her find her way home, and later gives Zniw a homemade "crocodile repellent," which is necessary to get past the crocodile in Rivenn-na. As it turns out, she has a turtle husband who left to investigate the disappearance of pterosaurs in the area, but got stuck in Fungilla. | |

Anachronistic Animal: The game is supposedly set in the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, but Triceratops, Albertonykus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Thescelosaurus are from the later Maastrichtian and Nothronychus is from the earlier Turonian. This is pointed out in the in-game encyclopedia. | |

Nobody Can Die | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_2bb951b8 | comment |
Nobody Can Die: Downplayed. One dinosaur in the Undercave died long before the events of the game, but that's it. Nobody dies during the course of the game. Despite all the perilous situations that Zniw gets into, she always gets through them, and there are no Game Overs in this game. Even the Big Bad, although beaten up, is still defeated without killing him. | |

Character Development | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Zniw starts out as a lost, frightened young girl who is clueless on how to survive or get back home, and also constantly scared of any creature that might pose a threat to her. Over the course of her adventure, Zniw becomes both clever and fearless. She is able to find creative solutions to many problems, get out of life-threatening situations, and after outwitting the Big Bad and getting him stuck in a mud pit, she grabs a sign and leaps at him to beat him over the head and knock him out. | |

Clamshell Currency | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_3c42a6e7 | comment |
Clamshell Currency: Justified. The village of Fungilla uses seashells as their currency. A Troodon shopkeeper explains that this is because the village is inside a hollow mountain, where seashells are rare. There used to be an entrance and exit to the mountain before it was blocked off by the thief plaguing the village. It's implied that the residents used to leave the mountain to collect the seashells. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: All Troodon are omnivorous bullies who threaten to eat herbivorous dinosaurs and scare them away. The closest things to good Troodon are the ones in Fungilla, but even they tend to be jerks, especially the shopkeeper. | |

| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_4e78d9b6 | comment |
Accidental Tickle Torture: There is a blue Euoplocephalus stuck in the entrance of the bridge at Rivenn-na. When Zniw tries to climb over him, he is tickled by it, and he starts laughing and quivering so hard that Zniw almost falls into the river. Later, when Zniw gets around him and tries to pull him out by the tail, he gets ticklish again, and swings his tail uncontrollably, causing her to fall into the river for real. | |

Sapient Eat Sapient | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_56ade6eb | comment |
Sapient Eat Sapient: Although this is never shown on-screen, it's hinted (or even outright stated) multiple times that dinosaurs in this world do eat each other despite being anthropomorphic. Zniw is terrified of a Daspletosaurus, a large tyrannosaur, although the latter has no intention of harming her. A Deinosuchus is seen sleeping at one point, and it has a chunk of meat in its teeth. Its unclear whether or not this creature is sapient, but Zniw takes the chunk of meat and gives it to Sam the snake, who is definitely sapient, as a snack. When Sam the snake says that he's hungry, Zniw defiantly says that she doesn't plan on becoming his meal. Sam reassures her that he never intended to eat her, making this a defied example. Some Troodon threaten to eat Zniw when she enters their turf. Popoeilo the azhdarchid, who is also clearly sapient, attempts to bite Zniw (or at least, the dummy of Zniw made by the player) with his sharp beak. He's big enough to crush the dummy to pieces, so his beak could probably cleave Zniw in half. | |

It's established that Zniw cannot simply climb over him because he's very ticklish, and if she tries to do so, he'll laugh so hard that he'll nearly make her fall into the river.

| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_80c775b1 | comment |
Palate Propping: The sleeping Deinosuchus has a chunk of meat in its teeth that Zniw needs. In order to get it, she can try propping its mouth open with a stick or a large log. However, it doesn't work, and the Deinosuchus just spits out the stick or log before going back to sleep. Using the stick, log, and "croc-away" on the Deinosuchus gets you an achievement. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: There are two Euoplocephalus brothers, one colored red, and the other blue. The blue one is meek and kind of a pushover. He got stuck in the entrance of a bridge because some Troodon startled him. He claims that he can fight if necessary, but we never see him get aggressive. The red one is much more fierce and defensive. He actually yells at the Troodon to get out of his way. | |

Harmless Villain | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Due to the Nobody Can Die nature of the game, Zniw sometimes runs into dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals that probably would attack her, but they decide not to. The sleeping Deinosuchus wakes up and gets angry every time Zniw tries to do Palate Propping to it, but the Deinosuchus just spits out whatever is in its mouth and goes back to sleep. Some Troodon threaten to eat or attack Zniw, but they never do anything more than make threats and throw a pebble at her. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: According to Sam the snake, a common snake saying is "A flying creature is never to be trusssted." (Because pterosaurs prey on snakes.) The villain turns out to be an azhdarchid pterosaur, a fairly large one at that. | |

Cartoon Creature: Most of the characters are specific, real-life dinosaur species, but Zniw is a made-up species of ornithopod. | |

Feathered Fiend | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_b42e16fb | comment |
Feathered Fiend: The Troodon, which are accurately depicted with feathers, are not the friendliest dinos around, to say the least. Downplayed with the Hesperonychus who is very rude towards Zniw, but mainly because she woke him up during his sleep. | |

Temper-Ceratops | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_c8bb9f15 | comment |
Temper-Ceratops: The ceratopsians in the game can be rather touchy. Most particular is Steffen the Unescoceratops (a small leptoceratopsid or basal ceratopsian), who is snappy and distrustful towards Zniw due to being an outsider. | |

Terrifying Tyrannosaur | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_d2528a4a | comment |
Terrifying Tyrannosaur: Invoked and subverted. At the beginning of the game, Zniw gets spooked by a Daspletosaurus suddenly popping up from a bush, although the Daspletosaurus meant no harm and wanted to talk to her. Nonetheless, according to the encyclopedia, the Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus are understandably feared by other dinosaurs, to the point they are given roles of monsters in horror stories. | |

Help, I'm Stuck! | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_d6787152 | comment |
Help, I'm Stuck!: The bridge at Rivenn-na gets blocked by a blue Euoplocephalus stuck in it. When Zniw tries to climb over him, he turns out to be ticklish and nearly knocks her off into the river, so she has to find another way to get to the other side and pull him out from there. | |

BigSisterBully | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_daecc607 | comment |
Big Sister Bully: Downplayed. Zniw has a younger brother and an older sister. Zniw's sister smugly shows off the fancy present she got their mother: an expensive-looking necklace. This makes her siblings feel bad because her brother only did a crayon drawing that is hardly impressive in comparison, while Zniw forgot to get a present entirely. Zniw's sister doesn't technically do anything too harsh, but her expressions make it clear that she's very haughty, and she enjoys being superior to her siblings. | |

Tough Armored Dinosaur | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_e2153d9 | comment |
Tough Armored Dinosaur: Inverted with the blue Euoplocephalus at Rivenn-na; he is rather cowardly and becomes scared by a pack of Troodon, despite him being bigger and well-armed. Played straight with his brother, a red Euoplocephalus, who has no problem standing up to the Troodon pack blocking the path. | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_e24d2d5c | comment |
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Zig-zagged. For the most part, dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles act like civilized and decent people. However, there are a few exceptions. The crocodilians in Rivenn-na are feral creatures that small dinos fear. Also, the Big Bad is a pterosaur who happens to be a Genius Bruiser with an intelligent plan. Mammals, however, are always treated as small, animalistic pests. | |

| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In the beginning of the game, Zniw helps a dinosaur find their missing wallet at the store. In response, the dinosaur buys the last bouquet of flowers, which Zniw really needed, while acting cheerfully ignorant towards Zniw's distress. | |

When Sam the snake says that he's hungry, Zniw defiantly says that she doesn't plan on becoming his meal. Sam reassures her that he never intended to eat her, making this a defied example. | |

Small Taxonomy Pools | |
| Zniw Adventure (Video Game) / int_f002f3e4 | comment |
Small Taxonomy Pools: Averted. This game features and stars a lot of obscure dinosaur species, such as Albertonykus and Caenagnathus, and others. In fact, there are few famous dinosaur species in the game, like Triceratops and Parasaurolophus, while others such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor are not present at all. (However, there is a Daspletosaurus, a species that is lesser known but similar to the T. rex, and a Hesperonychus, a tiny dromaeosaurid or raptor.) | |
