Man's Best Friend

Team up with your adventurous canine pal as you struggle to uncover the extraterrestrial cause of a violent string of murders and disappearances in this small town puzzle platformer-mystery.

In a sleepy town, the appearance of a mystical meteor triggers a string of vicious disappearances. Alongside a newly adopted dog, you must run,  jump, and puzzle your way to the epicenter of the local park, where government agents are fiercly protecting the fallen star. 

With a rich and immersive artstyle, interesting story, and well planned level design, this short game is a wholesome and fun way to pass half an hour.
