7 itemsAbout the Game
Freelance hacker Quei-Li is given a new job: uncover information from the Allocated Reality Institute (ARI) about a high-profile corruption case. While she typically avoids high-risk jobs like this, her curiosity about the secret files and her wish to bring on positive change to Shiba Island convinces her to accept.
The job leads to Quei-Li bluffing her way into the ARI as an undercover programmer. She builds up a rapport with her coworkers while seeking the information her client needs. The more she digs around, the more secrets Quei-Li discovers, leading her to question her own existence.

Choose wisely - help Quei-Li navigate her undercover job. Will she succeed in retrieving the classified data?
Multiple endings - what seems like a good outcome might cause someone else to suffer. Your choices impact the endings!
Original character artwork - Alicia García Ochoa's dog illustrations make the inhabitants of Shiba Inu Island come to life.
Hacking mini-game - step into Quei-Li's role with a brain-twisting hacking mini-game! (The mini-game is completely optional)

Autumn with the Shiba Inu is set in the same universe as the first game in the Shiba Inu series, A Summer with the Shiba Inu. "Autumn" is a standalone story, so reading "Summer" is not required to enjoy Autumn with the Shiba Inu!
