The game doesn't draw attention to it. In the same way that you never really question why Hollow Knight is full of bugs, it just makes sense within that universe. (Actual humans from Earth are a thing in this universe, and it's a major plot point that the main character is not human.) It's actually quite a serious and dark game. I wouldn't really call it a furry game IMO.

I had the exact same reaction to both games. I wanted to like them both but the furry stuff just killed my interest in them.
