How it feels

A nostalgic pixel-art side-scroller blending exploration, tough boss fights, and a story-driven campaign with RPG-lite choices.

What players say

Players are split on One Dog Story. Some find it a decent metroidvania platformer with a cute dog protagonist, while others are frustrated by glitches that can softlock the game, such as a laser trap, and by poor PC settings like broken windowed mode. A few also mention shady behavior from the publisher.
