About
Best Friend Forever is a single player role playing game with a romance theme. It was developed by Starcolt and was released on August 27, 2020. It received mostly positive reviews from both critics and players.
Best Friend Forever is the world’s first simulation game to combine pet care and dating (just not necessarily at the same time). Train, pat and play with your very own dog to form a bond that will last the ages. With your four-legged companion by your side, meet, woo and cherish the many cuties of Rainbow Bay’s thriving singles scene. Pet the dogs - then the owners.











- Charming and unique concept combining dating sim mechanics with dog care, providing a wholesome experience.
- Diverse and well-written characters, offering good representation of LGBTQ+ identities and various backgrounds.
- Cute art style and engaging writing that captures the lighthearted and humorous tone of the game.
- Gameplay can feel repetitive and lacks depth, with dog training mechanics not significantly impacting the story or character interactions.
- The romance routes are short and underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more depth and emotional connection.
- Technical issues such as bugs, glitches, and typos detract from the overall experience, making it feel unfinished.

The game's story is generally perceived as simplistic and predictable, lacking depth and emotional engagement, with many players noting that choices have minimal impact on the narrative. While the characters are diverse and the setting is endearing, the plot often feels rushed and disjointed, with unresolved plot points and repetitive dialogue. Overall, it offers a light-hearted experience but may disappoint those seeking a more complex and engaging storyline.
“I love the graphics, story, and dogs.”
“Diverse characters, dialogue that made me laugh out loud, and interesting game elements alongside the story.”
“The dog-care elements seemed overshadowed by the dating elements, and I wish the dogs played a bigger part in the story, but overall, I really enjoyed this sweet game, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a cute dating sim with lovable characters and cute dogs.”
“While an attempt at exploring the dynamics of friendship and relationships was made, the plot offers no variety and shows little deep insight into queer issues.”
“The story follows a predictable path, with very few surprises or emotional highlights unless tied to the romantic interests of the player.”
“The most annoying thing to me was definitely the lack of depth in characters and story.”
