About Anxiety Puppy

This is an emotion-focused short narrative game with an average playtime of around 1 hour.We believe that seeing and understanding our own emotions is a strength in itself. May this inner journey bring you moments of calm and resonance.Anxiety Puppy is an interactive visual novel that tells the story of a young girl in a bustling city, who, while struggling with the pressures of life and work, unexpectedly embarks on a spiritual journey toward reconciling with her anxiety.Her life trajectory seems no different from anyone else’s—studying, finding a job, working, with days that repeat endlessly.However, only she knows that beneath every seemingly calm day, anxiety grows like an uncontrollable black line, suffocating her breath and tightening her nerves.On one of her usual sleepless nights, her anxiety spirals out of control again, and she is pulled into a strange world. What is it? She doesn’t know, but maybe she can talk to it.Game Features:
  • Fresh Hand-drawn Style – A beautiful, healing, original illustrated storybook art style.
  • Unique Game Theme – The game focuses on anxiety and aims to raise players’ awareness of this emotion.
  • Warm and Healing Story – The protagonist will undergo self-exploration through dialogue and interaction, ultimately finding reconciliation with herself.
Her story is not a lonely one.She could be you, or me, or anyone struggling with anxiety.But in reality, anxiety is not our enemy.It is more like a well-meaning but awkward friend, and we just haven’t learned how to get along with it yet.This time, let anxiety transform into a little puppy, guiding you on a healing journey of self-reconciliation.We hope that the next time you feel anxious, you will no longer criticize your emotions or yourself.Because anxiety is not a monster; it’s just a little puppy easily unsettled.

Anxiety Puppy is a short but very sweet little game that can be finished in just a couple of hours. As someone who struggles with anxiety myself, I found the story really touching and relatable, and I think many others will too. The hand drawn artwork is beautiful and the soundtrack is really relaxing throughout. If you're looking for a heartfelt, story driven experience, this game is definitely worth picking up, especially at its price point!

This is my very first game review. REALLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND !! <3 I loved the game and even got emotional because the dialogue was so beautiful written and THE ART portrayed is so WHOLSESOME! I really enjoyed the game and it's really cozy too. As a VTuber it was my honour to stumble upon this lovely game and that I could show it to my community. As I already mentioned, I have to repeat myself about the dialogue: It really makes me reflect about my own life, and choices I choose in the past - for a more secure path; because it's the safest one. Reflection: The game really shows you that life is about embracing the unkwown and to allow yourself to choose a different path, a more unkwown one, a more exciting one and what you truly desire. ART: I love the soft pastel colours and it feels so warm and cozy. It also reminded me of my childhood where we used to use street chalk or crayons and drew on the street and paper. I thank the whole team for producing/ developing such a wholeheartedly, soft coloured, warm, cozy and yet reflecting game!

Anxiety Puppy is a game I got because the art style is what drew me in. It's a short game but the price is reasonable for what you're getting. Gameplay-wise, it has really simple controls, nothing to get your stressed or anxious about. Rather than a really involved game, you get minigames that add onto the narrative. After completing it, a lot of it touched me personally (being Asian-American). The fears that MC has and of course dealing with expectations of those around you. Overall it's definitely worth a play. There may be some grammatical errors, but not to the point where it'll disturb your playthrough.
