What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's striking art style and emotional storytelling about dogs and rescue, with some finding it genuinely moving and thought-provoking. However, many criticize it for being confusing and poorly structured, with a underdeveloped desktop framing device, a disjointed narrative that feels more like a PETA message than a coherent game, and very short gameplay consisting mainly of walking back and forth that feels more like a demo than a complete experience.

god, this game made me cry. go hug your dogs people and, if you can, volunteer/foster with your local shelter/rescue. its incredibly rewarding and potentially saved my life as it gave me wonderful creatures to care about even when i didnt care abt myself. gorgeous art, heart-aching story.

I love Dogs and interesting games but this one is nothing more than a PETA commercial wrapped in a disjointed fever dream. This game is nothing like what it first appears.

The moment I found out there was no manual saving I was like sh111111111111t bur soon I realized it was REALLY SHORT. But fo 1 dolla? whateves. It`s more like a PSA calling on unchain the dogs, adapted from a real story I think, and I wouldn`t call it a horror game, no. PS nobody uses dog fur for coats, rabbit/mink coats make way more sense.

There is a weird framing device to the main game where your using a desktop pc which might have been interesting but its under developed and then the main game itself is just so short and basic that it feels like a demo. I did like the artstyle, controls are mostly fine and the story starts off engaging but then goes off the rails but over all the game play consists of just walking left and right and finishes after 30 minutes. Also the game glitched and got stuck for a moment after minimising the main game and going back to the desktop experiencing. Its like the game couldn't decide which window was in focus and I couldn't close/open anything. Although luckily I was able to get back into the main game without having to restart.

Bro I love dogs and I have a saved dog myself as it was chained before it was rascued. This game is so disjointed and illogical that I just can't recommend it to anyone. It was not a horror game. It was not a PSA or anything like that. I am sorry to be negative but it could have been done in a better manner or at least with more logic behind how things go in the story. Plus the intro with the chat messages was really illogical for me too. At least it was short
