PLOT

Some middle-aged man has a normal life, house, family and as everyone - some secrets. But not all secrets can be hidden forever.

GAMEPLAY

This is a short, atmospheric psychological horror where you play as a middle-aged man dealing with probably the most life-changing day in his life. You can briefly do routine family man tasks and live through the story.

NOTES

"The Dog" is a short "sketch" game I wanted to make to relax after the last project. Please don't judge it too harshly—the story plot came after the fourth cup of coffee that day and made purely just for fun. Hope you'll find it enjoyable!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The dark, twisted story was right up my street. Great work!

We NEED TO PUSH THIS BACK TO #1! The story and twist are so WILD!

what the dog doing?

It was good but too short. Hopefully we can get an expansion.

The wife's head was the scariest part... PAUSE!?

can we have more optimization options? the lowest runs at 6 fps and i have pretty high specs

LITERALLY A DOG'S LIFE! IS IT THE DOG OR IS IT THE FAMILY THAT ARE WEIRD!?

Disturbing story

The game was good, had no complaints other than I'd like to see a longer story. Otherwise I enjoyed it, it had that unknowing and creepy suspense, and the ending actually caught me off guard too. Feel free to watch it

just uploaded my video on The Dog. edited all on my own! Would appreciate anybody if they watched (,: ❤️


great game even tho it’s super short, the ending was definitely on some twilight series level ending, confusing the audience while shocking them. Well I was shocked at least 😂 it was so much fun during the reveal.

keep up the great work dev !

- Je m'en doutais un peu, mais la fin m'a bien retourné le cerveau, j'ai adoré.

- I suspected it a little, but the end really blew my mind, I loved it.

a very short but cool game, the ending I was expecting gave an extra twist to make it very cool and worth playing. I played it as part of my 3 scary games starting at 23:18
Here's my video

the old tv filter does literally nothing except make the game a tiny bit brighter the story is boring and the models look weird especially the wife 

the atmosphere is kinda bad and sometimes you can see stuff pop in i like the idea of it if it was a bit longer it would have been better 

I RATE IT 4/10 🗣🔥

I loved this game. Wasn't expecting the ending but I'm happy with how it turned out. The jump scare was good too. I recommend trying it out! 

Here is my video if interested in watching. Thanks in advance!

great game, well done!

(+1)

A short game lasting about 8-10 minutes, but consists a jumpscare which was perfectly placed and really scary, the ending can be interpreted into various explanations, overall a nice game, also this game reminded me of the movie parasite!

Here's my gameplay video (with hindi commentary):

I was right about it not being no Dog in my basement but it being THAT DAWG in my basement. Overall, really fun short horror experience.
