About A Summer with the Shiba Inu
A Summer with the Shiba Inu is a visual novel with interactive, meaningful choices.
When Syd the Shiba Inu returns to Shiba Island after a ten year absence, she sets off a chain of events that overturns the lives of all the dogs she had left behind. She gets back in touch with her old friend, Max, and along the way meets a mysterious Labrador retriever named Quei-Li. (What’s a Lab doing on the Island, anyway?) They are her only remaining allies as she tries to survive the past that made her leave the Island in the first place.
- 3 main endings for Syd, with 10+ endings for other dogs depending on your actions!
- Visual novel with story wordcount of ~70,000
- Random facts about dogs in menus
- 30 Steam achievements
- Dog bark button in preference menu
Demo available - please see our website.
An emulated instance made so that Reality can be reallocated amongst the dogs of the Island.
This allocation is based on ranking, and therefore how good a dog is.
It could be said that the ranking based on these ARInas maintains the social order.
And it is in my best interests to ensure that I have the highest ranking possible. I will fight tooth and claw for it, because only then can I gain freedom...

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this visual novel for its charming art style, engaging story involving time-traveling Shiba Inus saving the world, and well-developed characters that create emotional attachment. The game is particularly appealing to visual novel fans and dog enthusiasts, with players appreciating the interactive choices, solid world-building, and fitting soundtrack that makes replaying for multiple endings worthwhile. No significant complaints are mentioned in these reviews.
I am still not 100% sure of what I am playing, but I am sure that I am a time traveling Shiba Inu that will save the entire world from convergence. I am a mass murderer, broke the space time continuum, and with the help of my friends I WILL save our reality! No longer will there be good dogs or bad dogs. Just dogs. And that is the kind of world I can definitely get behind.2 found this helpful
