About Molly n' D.O.G.'s Records
Molly n' D.O.G.'s Records is a puzzle adventure game developed by AMINJ, released October 6, 2025, for PC. You play as Molly, a dog teaming up with her Digging Operational Guide (D.O.G.) to scour a post-apocalyptic wasteland for hidden relics buried beneath crumbling ruins. The game blends exploration with risk-reward digging mechanics, where you choose between three tools to excavate artifacts before structures collapse. It’s a low-key, quirky experience that leans into simplicity, with a focus on methodical digging and discovery. The charm comes from Molly’s companionship and the tactile satisfaction of unearthing ancient items. Best for players who enjoy slow-paced puzzles and light-hearted narratives.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around selecting the right digging tool, shovel, pickaxe, or drill, to extract relics without triggering a collapse. The tools vary in speed and precision, forcing you to balance efficiency against structural integrity. As you dig, pressure gauges on the environment fill, and exceeding thresholds causes sections to crumble, sometimes destroying the relic. Once found, relics are cataloged in a record book with brief historical notes. The single-player mode emphasizes short, tense bursts of play, with each dig feeling like a micro-challenge. Controls are straightforward, but timing and tool choice matter. The loop is simple but addictive, with randomized ruin layouts encouraging replayability.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 78% completing the main quest. Average playtime is 12 hours, though 32% of players finish in under 8. The game’s most common mood is “relaxed but tense,” praised for its low-stakes charm and satisfying mechanics. Critics note the “quirky art style” and “addictive risk-reward system” but call the narrative “thin.” Price at $19.99 feels fair for most, with 89% of buyers saying it’s worth the cost. Achievement stats show 67% unlock all 32 trophies, with “Dig Site Master” being the hardest (12% completion). Players appreciate the brevity and accessibility, though some call it “a niche pick.”
PlayPile's Take
Molly n' D.O.G.'s Records is a solid pick for casual players and puzzle fans who don’t mind a short runtime. The digging mechanics are clever, and the charm of Molly’s world offsets the game’s simplicity. At under $20, it’s a low-risk buy, especially if you enjoy slow-burn exploration. The 32 achievements add replay value, but don’t expect a deep story or lasting engagement. It’s not for everyone, but if you like tinkering with risk-based puzzles and quirky aesthetics, this one hits its mark. Worth a playthrough for the novelty and tense excavation loops.
