Ratings and reviews

I greatly enjoyed this game, and with the lack of clear instructions it definitely simulated being a recently adopted dog adapting to a new home. Learn quickly and repeat positive actions! However, there were a lot of times where I ended up glitched into something and I would lose an item. It would not reset so I would lose it for a few days. If one of the characters wanted it, or it was the whistle, I was out of luck. It also took a long time to walk to items, and then back to people.

I rate it 2 stars, It was good and all, but there is a problem, the controls were hard and picking up an item for me was hard, I keep picking up an item that I don't need, the graphic was good, the day and night cycle was fast, and whenever I get trained in the game, It was hard for me making many mistakes because I don't know what the woman wanted me to do. Pls fix this, this really will be a good game if this is fixed

It's actually a good game but the controls are confusing. Try to add a joystick, and a button where we can pick up things because I keep on picking up things that I don’t want to pick up. Also, the game is just about giving your owner things they need, then you sleep, they work, which is kinda boring.
