The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You play as a big dog wandering a peaceful snowy forest to help a child decorate a snowman, with gentle exploration and no pressure.

What players say

Players say DOGWALK is a very short, adorable experience that works well for young children. The game's charming art and animation are widely praised, with several comparing it to a miniature diorama. Many players wish it were longer, calling it more of a proof of concept than a full game.
