A lone pup is lost in the wilderness and you need to help them find their way back home. Not that you won’t find time to roll in the dirt for fun.
DOGGONE sets a dog protagonist adrift in a big, big world, leaving you two together to figure out how you can get back to your family. You’ll do this through some platforming and puzzle solving, but also through using your doggy abilities. Sniffing out the right path is a handy power when you don’t know where to go, and you can always dig around to try to find some handy items to use. And again, that you can also roll around in the dirt just to make yourself happy. No one said this had to be a sad experience.
DOGGONE aims to capture that charming feeling of animal movies (well, maybe not certain ones), having you share in a hopeful journey of guiding a clever furry friend back home again. The developers make sure to point out that they’re striving for a positive ending. While that may feel like a bit of a spoiler, a sad ending in this kind of game might break a certain writer’s heart into itty bitty pieces.
Raconteur Games are currently raising funding for the game’s first part, looking to release DOGGONE episodically to speed up delivery to its audience and help them work their way through its creation. So, if puppy adventures are your thing, you might want to dig deeper here.
DOGGONE is currently in development, but you can support its creation on Kickstarter.
