Shiba Mekuri

About

Shiba Mekuri is a puzzle game built around simple mechanics and real-life footage of a Shiba Inu puppy named Hina. Players flip cards to match patterns while watching short clips of the dog exploring her environment. The puzzles vary in difficulty but stay approachable, focusing on quick thinking and visual recognition. Each session blends problem-solving with glimpses of Hina’s daily adventures, creating a low-pressure rhythm. The game stands out for its charm and authenticity. Developer KoheiGallery designed it around their own experience raising Hina, and it shows. The raw, unfiltered videos of the puppy, chewing toys, barking at shadows, napping in sunbeams, feel like eavesdropping on real life. Though short, it’s a cozy package that earned praise from indie fans for its heartwarming tone. Perfect for handheld moments, it’s the kind of game that feels like a warm hug from a friend.
