Playing as animals and Njerpez

[Lurcolm1]

I think it'd be a nice approach! Playing as the animals  seems like a fun idea, same with njerpez

[PALU]

Animals do not lead particularly exciting lives. That would get boring fast.

You can already act as a Njerp in everything except the color of the clothing, i.e. murder everyone you meet. The only differences are that you wouldn't be welcomed in Njerp villages, and that your victims are unsuspecting.

There is game about being an wolf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_(video_game)

So chase animals, eat them, avoid hunters, get killed, start again, feed cubs, fight other wolves for alpha status, lead hunt for big pray. It is pretty similar to urw actually. Except that you get killed a lot by Helicopters and planes.
