The game's story is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for gameplay, featuring light lore and simple quests centered around taking pictures of dogs and building a following. While the quests are described as cute and enjoyable, they lack depth and complexity, leading to a quick completion of the main story in about an hour and a half. Overall, players appreciate the game's wholesome and fun atmosphere, but many feel the narrative could have been more engaging.
- “I mostly recommend it because this game has a cute story, cute graphics, interesting concept, and fun gameplay.”
- “Throughout the game you have to complete quests - these can unlock new abilities, upgrades or filters, areas, etc. It's an enjoyable experience through-and-through with no major flaws to it!”
- “There is kinda like a journal thing where different dogs will give you different missions of specific stuff you have to take pictures of.”
- “Story: there is not much story in this game really, there's a little lore here and there about the world, but its story is centered around the gameplay.”
- “There are some hints of story here and there, but they don't lead anywhere much.”
- “There are very few objectives/tasks that require more than a few seconds of thought, which is a shame; I would have loved to see more riddle-like objectives, even if they were after the main story.”

The gameplay in Pupperazzi is characterized by its charming and simple mechanics, primarily focused on taking photos of dogs in vibrant, sandbox-style environments.

- “Basic 3D platforming, with optional simplification of movement in the menus, along with mouse directional gameplay with very low stakes for even the most inexperienced players.”
