The IndieBeat: Year of the Dog chronicles the pups and downs of owning a shiba inu

Indie developer Keane Ng’s slice-of-life game Year of the Dog shows off how adorable and frustrating it is to own a shiba inu. It’s a video game memoir that’s loosely based off of his life and the adventures he’s had with his dog, Kiba. It will be out later this year for PC.

It’s a happy coincidence that the game is coming out during the lunar calendar’s Year of the Dog — or an inconvenience, perhaps. In a phone call with GamesBeat, Ng joked that he was considering renaming the game out of “SEO concerns.”
