Do you like puppys? Do you like kittens? Well, you've come to the right place! Pet the Pup is a first person party simulator where you (the anti-social animal lover) have one simple task:
Pet the Pup (or Cat)!!!
The premise of the game is really simple, you run around from room to room, trying to find the new pup/cat that spawned in the level to pet. There's not much to it, and with each room, guest, obstacles, and pet being randomly generated, no two levels will feel the same. Also with directional hearing, as you approach the pet in the level, you will hear them bark in the direction that they are located (a really nice touch)
A few issues I had with the game are as follow:
- Speaking to party-goers does nothing but increase a counter when you run out of time; it doesn't increase or decrease your time, doesn't stop your character from moving, and really does nothing. I feel like this was a missed opportunity as it could've been used to stall the player or have nice mini-games
- You will run into duplicate pets..... a lot; because even the pets in the levels are random, and with there being 50+ pets to find and pet, you'll find yourself playing this game a lot just to find newer pets to pet.
All in all, this is a nice time spender that will keep you entertained for an hour or so.
