    This felt like a weird little fever dream in the best way. Dog is both unsettling and weirdly charming, and I’d honestly love to know more about this world. The lighting was great too.Thanks for making this!

    O jogo é tão bizarro que não sei dizer se gostei ou não. O final fica à imaginação de cada um.

    i love this game! Dog is my new best friend!

    Amazingly done!

    this was absolutely precious, thank you so much! ♡

    Dear goose-nest,

    My name is Hayato Nakada from DREAMSCAPE https://x.com/game_dreamscape , a Japan-based indie game showcase. We will host a horror-only game exhibition on January 18, 2026, at Akihabara UDX (Tokyo).

    For this event, we are planning a collaboration with “Godaka” (https://x.com/G_Godaka), a creator known for introducing indie games on social media. 

    Within this collaboration, your title, “petsitting,” was highlighted as a notable work, 

    and we would like to invite you to exhibit.

    If you’re interested, we can support you via proxy exhibiting (exhibit on your behalf). If you provide trailer, screenshots, and a playable build, our team will handle booth setup, presentation, 

    and attendee guidance on-site.

    ※ Exhibiting is free of charge.

    Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to feature your work at DREAMSCAPE.

    Best regards,
    Hayato Nakada
    DREAMSCAPE

    I's scared of worms and caterpillars and my "friends" taunt me in to play this game. And... it was amazing! Dog is so scary but cute and the ending... holy mother! Wanna take a look at the gameplay?
