Happy International Dog Day 2019 everyone! To celebrate this most adorable super furry holiday, we want to point out some of our most beloved video games focused around dogs! Here are some video games that put a heavy focus on doggies!

PHOGS!

PHOGS! is a super cute and funny exploration and adventure puzzle title that allows you to control both ends of the same creature, kinda like Fling to the Finish. Think Cat-Dog, but without the cat. Just two adorable canines with a knack for adventure. The two dogs are linked by a stretchy belly with much elasticity, aiding in special and unique movements. PHOGS! is being created by the amazing team at Bit Loom Games, a UK based gaming studio. 

Check out our recent PHOGS! coverage and learn more about this adorable title!

Best Friend Forever

In Best Friend Forever or BFF for short, you will find yourself living in the most pet friendly town on earth – Rainbow Bay. Here you will settle and move into your very own apartment which you are free to decorate to your liking. But what would a big city home be without the company of our beloved furry friends? Once settled in, you will start caring for your cutsie doggo and begin exploring the beautiful neighborhood filled with dog loving people.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale

From the creator of the indie smash-hit “Wandersong”, Greg Lobanov, comes an RPG like we’ve never seen before. In Drawdog [working title], you play a doggo on a mission to bring color and art back into the world using only a giant paintbrush. Lobanov’s previous title, Wandersong, received a loving reception and created quite a buzz for it’s beautiful play-style and unique take on an art game. It appears that Drawdog will attempt to do the same, only this time for color instead of sound. 

Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a beautiful game that sparks the players creativity, learn more in our recent coverage here and here.

Pupperazzi

Sundae Month is an indie studio that just announced a new game called Pupperazzi. As the name already reveals, this title will include adorable puppies as well as paparazzis? That is right, players will have to stray through a town in order to spot cute pups and take pictures of them.

In Pupperazzi you will have to come up with creative ways to hunt down the pups by jumping across buildings and running all over town in order to get the best shot of a pup! This is how you get a good snap of the pup in its natural environment and undisturbed.

Check out the hilarious Pupperazzi trailer right here. We can’t stop watching it!

Doggone

Racounteur Games focuses on storytelling in their games. Doggone is based on the classic animal story that we’ve seen in so many movies and books – but never before in a video game. Doggone is touted as an emotional rollercoaster. Don’t worry though! They promise a happy ending. 

In this puzzle-platformer, you play as a lost English Foxhound trying to find their way home. The game features, what the developers refer to as, “dog things.” These things include smell-o-vision to guide you and the ability to sniff out pathways and hidden items. You can also bark and roll around!

To The Rescue is an indie title in which the player jumps into the role of a dog shelter owner.
