Animaly Bar Known Issues: Black Bars, Stool Bug, Endless Mode

The black bars during play are a cinematic crop, the developer says, not a fault in your setup. Getting stuck on a bar stool is a physics collision problem the developer confirmed; the game saves at the start of each day, so you can reload that save. There is no endless mode: the developer would like one but explained why it is hard.

Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen

Menus and loading screens fill the screen, but during play the picture has black bars above and below it.

What the sources say

The black bars are a cinematic crop, so nothing is wrong with your setup. The developer added that a setting to remove the crop would come in an update the following week.

By design

A setting to turn the crop off was planned. No official post mentions it as of 2026-09-20.

Stuck on a bar stool

After you put the stools down to start the day, your character can get stuck on a stool and cannot move away.

What the sources say

“…due to the physics system, your character may be stuck on the stool.” The game saves automatically at the start of each day, so you can continue from that save.

Confirmed bug

No fix announced as of 2026-09-20.

What to do: Load the automatic save from the start of that day.

Is there an endless mode?

Players ask for a way to keep playing after the story ends.

What the sources say

“…I really want to add an endless mode.” The catch, they explained: customers you kill should not come back, so an endless mode would need an endless supply of new characters.
