About the Game

Reconnect with your childhood best friend - a French Bulldog - as you experience a violently emotional story that explores love, growing up, and what dogs mean to humans. You will take control of both a human - a young man entering adulthood - and a French Bulldog - your childhood best friend - as you both explore a series of breathtaking dreams together. The items that you collect on the journey determine the fate of both you and your Best Friend.

Key Features:

  • A short, 30-60 minute game focused on revealing the story through light puzzle solving and platforming
