friends with dogs
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Dogs, death, and a desperate quest for the dearly-departed.
Hayden is kind of an asshole. He also just had his long-term relationship destroyed, and his partner is gone forever... so now he's not only an asshole - he's a bitter, mournful asshole desperate to rebuild a meaningful relationship.
Despite his grief, our protagonist (and charming narrator) won't let any of that show - at least to the outside world. He's just moved away for college, after all, and wants to keep the negativity to a minimum.
You would think that his emotional state would get better with some alone time. Some distance. Some other activity to occupy his mind and get over his loss.
Maybe he'll travel the world. Move away from Earth. Live his own life without the hassle of other people.
And then, for no reason, these girls show up. It's like wherever he goes, they go.
You know... just like dogs.
What is this even about?
- Meet adorable dogs
- Talk about plant-based recipes
- Play Humans vs. Zombies
- Rummage through an estate sale
- Listen to the musings of someone surrounded by death
- Convince everyone you're not a total asshole
- And finally, confront your sins
Check out Johan's (from Novel & You ✦ Studio)'s amazing pocket chibi of our favorite protagonist, Hayden! They did an amazing job of keeping me updated and sharing their progress through sketches, lineart, and color, and I love the final result! Go on - try to resist the urge to squish chibi Hayden =^.^=
