    • “There was also exposition left out in places and added into places that just stilted the flow of the storyline like the whole story of the vet lady just felt shoehorned in and we lost track of our original premise of the story of reuniting our character and his father.”
    • “The story also becomes increasingly meaningless, regular time lapses at the 'reunion station', bad dogs (really?) and unfinished story arcs for at least one other dog you meet.”

    182 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The gameplay never makes you feel bored as there are different minigames and changes of perspectives that make this feel so engaging, even if it's your average platformer.”
    • “I did get a little frustrated with some of the jumping mechanics and a few of the minigame chase sequences.”
    • “The game fails to actually tell you what it wants from you; it repeatedly uses some of the most frustrating mechanics that I wish would have been left back in the early 2000s (lots and lots of stealth missions, chase sequences, QTEs, etc.), and for some things, you're just expected to know what the game wants from you without any tutorials or innovative interfaces to help guide you through this.”

  • graphics
    103 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The art style, gameplay, the back stories, and the happy endings for everyone gave it a 10/10 for me as someone who hates story-based games with loose ends.”
    • “Story is the best part of this; unfortunately I cannot recommend it in its current state due to some general jankiness with animations. Some of the quicktime events are infuriating, and the key takeaway for me is this claim claims to be 'deck verified' when it runs absolutely horrible on the deck, even at graphics settings as low as they can go.”
    • “Aside from resolution, there's only a brightness adjustment and a graphics quality setting (low, medium, high) that seems to cut down on foliage density a little bit.”
    • “Overall it's a wonderful little game, but even despite the cute graphics, polished gameplay, sweet story, etc., I think it's very expensive for such a short experience.”

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is limited due to its linear narrative structure, which focuses on storytelling rather than interactivity.

    • “While replay value is basically non-existent after you've found everything and uncovered all secrets, I hope for more in the future, as there's a lot of potential left!”
    • “My only negative comment is that it isn't super replayable due to the storyline nature of it; however, there is a way at the end to go back to specific chapters if you enjoyed the game in that section.”
    • “The linear structure keeps the focus tightly on the narrative, which may not appeal to those seeking more interactivity or replayability.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews on the aspect of "grinding" highlight a mixed experience; while some players find the gameplay relaxing and enjoyable, others criticize it for being tedious and repetitive, particularly during stealth missions and mini-games.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is mixed; while some players report smooth performance and acceptable visuals, others experience framerate issues and general stuttering, particularly during scenes with heavy rendering, such as fur. Additionally, there is a noted lack of performance options, which may hinder the experience for some users.

    • “Performance is smooth!”
    • “The visuals are acceptable, and I ran into no performance issues, but the real highlight is the animation - the game does a fantastic job of capturing some mannerisms of dogs (and corgis specifically) to both seem realistic while also conveying their (human-esque) emotions.”
    • “Mostly framerate and general stuttering.”
    • “As for performance, it's lacking options.”
    • “I also encountered some minor performance drops, probably caused by all that fur being rendered at once.”

    • “I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making choices that impact their growth and relationships with others.”
