For those who have been fortunate to have a dog in their life, you may also know of the hole left by their presence when it’s time to say goodbye.
In your times of grief, did you ever wonder if maybe your lovable friend tried to cheer you up from the other side? Maybe goodbye doggy will shine some light on those dark days.
Players will be in control of a dearly departed ghost dog, watching over the aftermath of their passing with their family. Luckily, you have all the right stuff to bring a little ease to their grief. You’ll be able to soar around areas of the house and take on what may seem like easy tasks, but, to the burdened, are mountains to be overcome. Toast some bread on the fireplace for the family member who is too distraught to face their family. Even do some math homework for one (to the best of your ability, at least).
goodbye, doggy illustrates how grief can grip our lives and make even simple tasks seem impossible. With such a cheerful protagonist doing his doggone best, though, it’s hard not be reminded of lost ones and reminisce about happy memories of them. Perhaps you can give that feeling to your family and help them through this trying time.
Even in such a playful atmosphere, players may feel their own heartstrings tugged as they draw parallels with their own goofy companions. Here’s hoping you find some relief in playing this lighthearted game, taking in its pleasant message.
goodbye, doggy is playable for free on Armor Games and Itch.io.
