DOGGONE is the once in a generation story of a lost dog trying to find its way home, inspired by the animal movies we all grew up with. Featuring a vibrant Disney-inspired art style, you will fulfill the ultimate dog fantasy as you embark upon a life-altering journey back home.
It’s Homeward Bound meets INSIDE with an art style like Sleeping Beauty.

My Little Dog Adventure
Game is quite encouraging as it provides dogs pop(and I haven’t experienced it before) with simple, but good graphics. I noticed that I didn’t pay much attention to the story and sounds, but I would say that they are good

Really poorly made.
*all levels have flat lighting, endlessly copied environments with no distinctive landmarks, several dead ends that look like they should be the way forward.
*levels have holes in them you can see/fall through, invisible walls everywhere
*cursor is always on screen (this is a common amateur unity problem)
*no ambient sound, game is eerily silent
*awkward dialogue “I forgot my keys this day”
*voice acting recorded on someone’s pc microphone
This plays like someone’s first unity game they made over a weekend using store-bought assets. I would return it but my 6-year old played for 2.1 hours which puts us over the 2 hour limit. I would be more lenient if the price was $1

kili’s treasure finds our young hero going on a treasure hunt her mom organized to make kili feel better after losing her dog, rosco.
it’s an isometric point & click where you walk around the family’s house (starting in your bedroom, with 5 more rooms opening up as you progress), inspecting and interacting with many items, trying to put the story together and figure out what mom’s clues refer to.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel
Finally after a long road this game saw the light of day and I was more than eager to put hands on it.
Despite the number of hours clocked in I have not finished it as I actually been redoing the game a few times to measure replayability as well as how better/worse I could do, but from what I experienced so far, I’m holding my vote positive.
It is however not a game without its flaws, if things that can be fixed to an extend, so lets break it down.
The definitely good:
- Graphics/Artstyle
I am utterly in love with the detailed artwork pieces that are shown all over the game, and I feel that everything else helps build up a style that’s very uniform across the board and that’s even including the 3D models used for the characters during intermission/exploration. There’s certainly artistic liberty in some departments namely the mechanical designs, but I was already expecting some of the silliness coming in and I was not looking for much else here, so there’s definitely plenty of value.

Right. Where to begin with this one. Be warned, this is less an objective review and more a personal retrospective, and there will be prologue spoilers. I don’t usually “review” games and am only giving this one attention as I feel it has the makings of a sleeper hit that hardcore fans will be trying to convince people to play. Like its predecessors, it hit shelves with absolutely no fanfare. Just seeing how few reviews games like this one gets shows how criminally underrated these hidden gems are.

Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite
Purrfect Apawcalypse Love at Furst Bite (palfb) is a short visual novel which focuses mostly on the interactions between the characters.
The game isn’t very long but worth the five bucks or the equivalent amount of other currency.
While the writing isn’t the strongest its fairly decent and kept me entertained during my playthrough.
The interactions between the characters are both cute and sometimes horrifying and at times made me cringe because of what was happening on the screen.
The cute artstyle is one of the games strongest points and while it may not be to everyones tastes it fits the game well, making the games deathscenes (and there’s a lot of them) more shocking.

Going to go right out of the gate and say that this is definitely not your standard kind of game, and if you can’t handle gore - even if it’s cartoonish - then you shouldn’t play the game out of respect for your eyes. However, if you can handle that…
Welcome to Purrfect Apawcalypse! We have:
-
clifford the nonbinary dog
-
suicidal maniac who’s also funny as shit
-
TAKE OFF THE SHIRT
-
bitch who died on a fucking toilet seat (very important, not ironic)
-
witch who will probably step on you (and not apologize (trust me it’s cool ok))

A Summer with the Shiba Inu
Disclaimer: I helped edit A Summer with the Shiba Inu, so my review will not comment on its writing or editing. However, all other aspects are fair game. XD
A Summer with the Shiba Inu is a visual novel in which dogs are the intelligent beings in the world. Yup, that’s right. There are no humans around. We take on the role of Syd, a Shiba Inu who had been living in Canine-da and has only recently returned to Shiba Inu island. The reason she has returned is to find her brother Chun-wen and to learn what has happened to him. However, upon immediately returning to the island, Syd is almost immediately approached by Quei-li, the only Labrador on the island full of Shiba Inus, and Quei-li offers her help to search for Chun-wen. Of course, Syd is suspicious but ultimately decides to accept her help. During this journey to find her brother, Syd is accosted by a few dogs, those who want to “rechallenge” her for the right to the Feather of Truth. (Oh, did I forget to mention it? Syd had run away from Shiba Inu island after having won the Feather of Truth, having defeated many dogs in many ARInas, which are virtual reality arenas where dogs fight to earn their ranking and place on Shiba Inu island.) What will happen to Syd? Will she find her brother? Will she lose in one of these rechallenges? And what is the deal with Quei-li? I’ll end my story synopsis here, as to avoid spoiling the story.

Shiba Inus meet Sword Arts Online
What I really liked is that “A Summer with the Shiba Inu” is an actual Visual novel with about 70,000 words. Despite its length, the story is smart, interesting and kept my attention to the end. The writing is not overly complicated, so even if your primary language is not English, it will be easy to follow along.
I could tell that a lot of love went into little details like sounds, shakes and various special effects to make this Visual Novel feel alive (there is quite a lot of action) and its obvious to me that production was not just rushed and received a lot of care in the making.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey
First of all, it’s fair to say that I bought and started the game a few weeks after main launch, so all the critical patches and fixes were already implemented. Played it through twice and encountered no bugs or glitches both times, except for one where the game crashes right before rolling credits, apparently only happening on W7 64 bit… Eh, nothing game-breaking. Later updates also added more interactive points and SEVERAL additional achievements, so I would say by now it’s pretty polished.

I now arrived at about the middle of the game and I will certainly recommend it, but…
It is a game which enchants you by its really interesting and unusual setting and a great art style. I can think of no other game (point and click adventure - like ) where you play such a stylish hero or rather pair of heroes. The dynamics between the human character and his animal compagnion is original and fun. The dog Fey talks to animals and uses her nose while du Lac interacts with humans and you can change between them almost any time, this is cool. Although -at least until now- this dynmaics is not living up to its potential.
