Doggone

About

Doggone puts you in the paws of a dog who wakes up one day and finds its owner missing. You navigate a 3D world by running, digging, sniffing, and barking to solve puzzles and find your way back home. The game draws heavy inspiration from 90s animal movies, letting you explore environments as a lost pet rather than a human hero. It feels like a straightforward platformer where movement mechanics drive the story forward without needing complex combat or inventory systems. The standout element is how the game handles the perspective of a dog chasing family. Raconteur Games focused on the emotional beat of being separated from your owner instead of adding flashy features. Players can check their progress on Steam to see how others rate this emotional trek. It avoids the usual video game tropes and sticks to a simple goal that hits hard. The lack of multiplayer keeps the focus entirely on your personal journey through the levels designed for a single player experience.

Storyline

It was a day like any other. You wake up, feel the sun on your face, wag your tail, and look forward to the day ahead. Moments later, your life changes forever. You don't know what to do. Your owner is nowhere to be found. You have no option but to go. To chase. To be lost. To get back to what matters most: family.
