The Good Dog: Chasing Shadows

Having done the tutorial, run around in Explore mode, and dipped my toes into a few Fetch games, I think it's okay. I was actually shocked that it ran well on my laptop. It will probably sit next to [i]Picayune Dreams[/i] as a game I enjoy for a little while longer and then shelf (until an update catches my attention). It is still quite early in development and will not be done for another ~10 months (at least) according to the dev, and as such it's missing things like enemy variety and more game modes. To be clear, this game has good bones, it's just lacking in features. There isn't much to do. The glitches I've encountered so far have been annoying as opposed to catastrophic, and usually fix themselves with a bit of finagling. So far there are only three enemy types (plus the worms that kill you for going out-of-bounds). They're all pretty simple once you figure out how to counter them, more so if you have packmates to coordinate attacks with. Banshees are the most interesting because on top of their teleporting behavior, you have to [i]bark[/i] to kill them. This can draw other enemies to your location. It's a neat bit of risk-reward! That said, I'm not sure how I feel about the tutorial section not mentioning the method used to defeat the wraith. 🤔 One small problem specific to me, I'm not reliably able to detect enemies before they detect me. I have tinnitus / hearing damage in one ear, which makes soft sounds like footsteps hard to decipher at times. Also, to be fair, I was getting caught a lot because I was running a lot. It's very easy to run right into an enemy's path and not realize until it's too late. You want to run because you're on a timer in Fetch mode, but the best way to stay safe is to crouch around everywhere, which is [i]SO[/i] SLOW. Not a problem on Difficulty 1 where you only have a handful (pawful?) of tasks, but the higher the Dif, the less time you can waste. I think this is purposeful to ensure that players will encounter enemies more often, but I wonder if at the highest level, this ends up forcing you to just run past or kill everything? The most glaring problem so far: Glitchy hitboxes. For example, the robot dog is a walking backpack that helps you stockpile supplies. Sometimes the targets that let you place items in its back disappear, and you have to take it on a walk to make them come back. This is mildly annoying if you're in the clear, but if an enemy is lurking it's a hassle.

The idea of the game is great but it runs HORRIBLY on my pc (that can run warframe perfectly) Honestly think it wouldve been so much better if the game had been made in unity

genuinely its a peaceful game to play with friends despite being spooky, i do think that unlocking the dog breeds should be a bit easier. Its pretty hard as a new player to play this solo and reach 4 levels to get a new dog

le jeu est bien mais le gameplay et reberbatif et le il manque de challenge first time le lvl 5

Le jeu est sympathique mais rapidement lassant. Les entités sont trop faciles à tuer. Il faut être en difficulté V pour qu'il y ait un nombre correct de monstres et encore, ce n'est pas suffisant. Ce serait bien d'ajouter une fonction au robot qui, une fois son sac rempli, se rendrait automatiquement à la base sans qu'on l'y guide. Une autre qui nous permet de sauter par dessus des obstacles (et donc des cartes avec par endroits des objets nous barrant la route, parfois alors qu'on se fait poursuivre). Enfin, plus de variété de créatures et la possibilité d'en apprendre plus sur ce qui s'est passé durant l'apocalypse rendrait l'exploration plus intéressante. Le jeu dans son ensemble reste prometteur. L'idée de base permet de passer un bon moment entre amis.

This game's concept is very interesting and intriguing. As a dog lover, this game is really fun. I've always enjoyed animal role-play and/or survival games, and this takes it to the next level. The game still needs improvements and bug fixes, but as a new game, that is expected. It is really good for being so fresh! I'm excited to see where this goes.

heads up its really scary and cute

Приобрели игру с мужем. В целом, игра неплохая и необычная, к некоторым механикам нужно привыкать, и естественно есть какие-то недочёты - о которых просто нужно сообщить в bugreport, чтобы это исправили. Игра свежая и только сделала свой первый старт. Будем следить за обновлениями. В одного жутко, вдвоём, кайф :з
