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...

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.

I enjoyed this game a lot! It's very well written, and the story is really great! It drew me in immediately. Don't let the cute dogs fool you though, the story is complex and it does delve into some darker territory. The characters all seemed to have their own distinct personalities that shined through. I thought all the main characters were very likable. I was definitely rooting for them. The story kept me guessing and I was excited to play more and find out what would happen next. There's also some references to various video games and other things that are fun to catch and made me chuckle. There's probably also some that I missed or went over my head lol. I thought the soundtrack was really good too! A couple of the tracks got stuck in my head afterwards. I'd definitely recommend the game to people who like visual novels and dogs! I'd also of course recommend to avoid spoilers and experience the game for yourself if possible. I'm glad I played and I'm ready to start another playthrough to choose some different options.
