« Works great on Steam Deck in case anyone is wondering! Leveling up puppy stats is a bit grindy but the game is fun and adorable overall. If you loved Nintendogs, pick this one up for sure. »

« My dog loves this game. No seriously, she'll sit on my lap staring at the screen until either she falls asleep or my legs do. It's been a great way to distract her when she's anxious. So paws up from my girl to the devs! »
