About
This is an emotion-focused short narrative game with an average playtime of around 1 hour.
We believe that seeing and understanding our own emotions is a strength in itself. May this inner journey bring you moments of calm and resonance.
Anxiety Puppy is an interactive visual novel that tells the story of a young girl in a bustling city, who, while struggling with the pressures of life and work, unexpectedly embarks on a spiritual journey toward reconciling with her anxiety.
Her life trajectory seems no different from anyone else’s—studying, finding a job, working, with days that repeat endlessly.
However, only she knows that beneath every seemingly calm day, anxiety grows like an uncontrollable black line, suffocating her breath and tightening her nerves.
On one of her usual sleepless nights, her anxiety spirals out of control again, and she is pulled into a strange world. What is it? She doesn’t know, but maybe she can talk to it.
Game Features:
Fresh Hand-drawn Style – A beautiful, healing, original illustrated storybook art style.
Unique Game Theme – The game focuses on anxiety and aims to raise players’ awareness of this emotion.
Warm and Healing Story – The protagonist will undergo self-exploration through dialogue and interaction, ultimately finding reconciliation with herself.
Her story is not a lonely one.
She could be you, or me, or anyone struggling with anxiety.
But in reality, anxiety is not our enemy.
It is more like a well-meaning but awkward friend, and we just haven’t learned how to get along with it yet.
This time, let anxiety transform into a little puppy, guiding you on a healing journey of self-reconciliation.
We hope that the next time you feel anxious, you will no longer criticize your emotions or yourself.
Because anxiety is not a monster; it’s just a little puppy easily unsettled.

Absolutely adorable and so relatable. So chill it lulled me right to sleep! Will go back for the achievements I missed.
焦虑其实就是一只小狗。就像各种不同的人在性格上有各种不同的好处和坏处一样,没有人只有优点,你的焦虑不是坏事,而是一种意识上的保护,只有真正信了那些话,才会变成那样,小狗呀,别再担心还未降下的雨。 原来穿什么都可以,那只会取决于我今天心情如何,不要只看不美好的一面,未来也同样会给你各种各样的选择,走向不同的路,加油,你的选择只会让你的经验变得更加丰富。 遇到困难时,就大胆开口求助吧,寻找那个突破口,相信自己可以的。 哪怕经历不相同,也能学到很多,都是第一次探索这个世界,哪怕现有的生活并不顺利,并不是你以前所期望的,但给自己可以做错和失败的权力,让自己有舒适的可以缓解的空间,慢慢摸索出属于自己的节奏,找到适合自己的生活方式,一切都会好起来的。 真的是很治愈的一部作品,玩完感悟挺深刻的,背景音乐也配的很棒这种钢琴曲挺让舒适的那种人头皮发麻印象深刻的,这是我玩完steam焦虑小狗这部游戏的观后感,这部游戏的全流程大概在一小时左右

[h1]Lindo demais! [Eng and Pt-Br review][/h1] É um jogo bem simples e curto. Mas a arte, a arte é linda!!! Tudo é em tons pasteis e passam uma calorosa energia de aconchego. Mas não se deixe ser levado pela fofura da arte! esse é um jogo que trata sobre ansiedade. Apesar de ser um jogo bem curto, coisa de 1 hora, ele trata sobre a ansiedade de forma muito boa, geralmente as pessoas recomendam religião para lidar com isso e sou muito grato que o jogo nem toque nesse ponto e trate a ansiedade de uma forma bem mais simples e humana. Há um pouco de gameplay no jogo, não é o melhor gameplay de todos, mas isso de forma alguma é um problema. Eu também adorei todo o material extra de artes conceituais, mais arte linda como essa é sempre bem vinda! e eu chorei muito no final, sendo alguém que sofre de ansiedade e está numa situação bem parecida, esse jogo me tocou profundamente. [hr][/hr] [h1]Absolutely gorgeous! [Eng and Pt-Br review][/h1] It's a very simple and short game. But the art, the art is beautiful!!! Everything is in pastel tones and conveys a warm, cozy energy. But don't let yourself be carried away by the cuteness of the art! This is a game about anxiety. Despite being a very short game, about an hour, it deals with anxiety in a very good way. People usually recommend religion to deal with it, and I'm very grateful that the game doesn't even touch on that point and treats anxiety in a much simpler and more human way. There's a bit of gameplay in the game; it's not the best gameplay ever, but that's by no means a problem. I also loved all the extra concept art material; more beautiful art like this is always welcome! And I cried a lot at the end. Being someone who suffers from anxiety and is in a very similar situation, this game touched me deeply.
Anxiety is a puppy ಥ_ಥ This game was way too relatable that I got the Asian daughter achievement too fast o(TヘTo)
This is my very first game review. REALLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND !! <3 I loved the game and even got emotional because the dialogue was so beautiful written and THE ART portrayed is so WHOLSESOME! I really enjoyed the game and it's really cozy too. As a VTuber it was my honour to stumble upon this lovely game and that I could show it to my community. As I already mentioned, I have to repeat myself about the dialogue: It really makes me reflect about my own life, and choices I choose in the past - for a more secure path; because it's the safest one. Reflection: The game really shows you that life is about embracing the unkwown and to allow yourself to choose a different path, a more unkwown one, a more exciting one and what you truly desire. ART: I love the soft pastel colours and it feels so warm and cozy. It also reminded me of my childhood where we used to use street chalk or crayons and drew on the street and paper. I thank the whole team for producing/ developing such a wholeheartedly, soft coloured, warm, cozy and yet reflecting game!
首先如果你有相关症状最好避开这游戏;其次故事过于平淡,结尾也没有任何升华,可以用白开水来形容;从玩了《失眠》过来的,哪怕简短,但真的有一种被点醒,被升华的感觉,所以作者、编剧、还需努力吧
never cried so much from a game 10/10
A really touching and beautifully illustrated game. Short enough to play in one sitting, with a story that uplifts you and makes you feel positive, even about tricky things like anxiety. Highly recommend!
共情感强容易哭,希望有一天我也能坦然面对焦虑
мне это точно было нужно, очень вдохновляет
