About this game

"Laika - The Trail of the Golden Bone" is a multi-award winning game about a mysterious case in the Laika dog park. As dog detective Arthur, the player must find out what happened to the Golden Bone. Ask the different dogs questions, taking into account their personality, feelings, relationships, and motivation.
