What Makes I Became a Dog Stand Out
Ugh…My head hurts…
I don't remember what happened.
Though I recall falling asleep yesterday after drinking like a fish…
I just woke up now and realized I had become…a dog???
What a crappy situation…
I should come to my senses and look around.
I should look for a way to go back to being a human.
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game starts out adorable and fun the mystery aspect is especially well-developed, which kept us curious to find out what would happen next. Through the story, it progressively got darker and more profound, with twists and turns like a bestselling novel that kept us hooked till the very end. What a beautiful game :) (also, its sequels are amazing too!).
We discovered this game when we were about 9/10. We are now 17, 18 in a few months and still will redownload every once in awhile to play. Seriously one of the best games ever made. So thankful its free.
We love this so much. Us and our freind were having a deep conversation about games we played as kids, and she talked about this one. We played it, and Ive gotten 3 of the endings (working on the other two) and we love it. Its crazy, and beautiful. Like this is crazy. Either way, worth the like 5 hours Ive played it for.
Us and our girlfriend loved playing this together during our lunch breaks.
This game is so much fun and so many different story lines the more you play the easier it is to complete the story.
This game series is one of our favorites. We love the concept and quests/favors you have to fulfill. The only reason this game is getting one star reviews is because people are either stuck on certain parts or the game is too violent, but people didnt read the age limit. To put it simply, this game is absolutely amazing and it is NOT the games fault that it got bad reviews, it is the players fault.
The best game for when you are bored we honestly thought at first that this would be a clicker game that would go unfinished, but we were dead wrong. This game is so great we literally got all 5 endings in one night..! It has some really good story lines and the characters are so fun to learn about, we actually want to turn this game into a fandom. Although the second and third game are more interesting and challenging we will always think that the first game is the best although it is pretty cutesy we really think that we wouldn't recommend this game to people who are more sensitive, there are a few words and scenes.
We really enjoy the we became a dog series . The only thing this app needs is the controls from 2 and 3.
Literally love this game with all our heart, definitely worth a download.
This game subverted our expectations and pleasantly surprised us with a good story to uncover via exploration and experimentation. We had revisited it after playing it a couple of years ago and remembered why we found the game so charming. Kudos to the game dev :)).
So our friend told us about this app so we downloaded it. The first couple minutes of playing this we were obsessed! You did a really good job with this app. You eat food to learn more dog language or replace the woofs with English. We love getting quests we have to complete. Its a challenging and fun role play experience! Our favorite dog would probably be Sony hes cute and funny! 1000000000000000000/10 game you need to download this.
We never write reviews, but this game is so good we just had to. First off, it has a full story and cute pixelated graphics reminiscent of GameBoy Advance (which we had as a kid). The characters are interesting and the story has a lot of twists and turns that keep you interested. But what really sets this game apart is the multiple endings so it's a different game when you pick other choices. The puzzles are just challenging enough to feel like an actual puzzle, but not so much that it feels overwhelming There are also hints that you can earn watching ads, but it is completely possible to complete the game without ads, so the ads that are there don't don't detract from enjoying the game. You can get quite immersed in this game and we highly recommend trying it. Enjoy becoming a dog! It's so much fun.
Every time we go anywhere without Wi-Fi we can always relay on this app its so fun and there so many endings Im still trying to see what ending 3 and 4 are! ps its only fun if you dont look up how to do tasks.
You think your funny, huh? How do we beat julia to death. Fatty. Stink butt (your butt is stinky) why did you kill james. (not nice) listen here pipsqueek im going to kill that dog and send her to her child.
You should be able to watch adds to get your farting and barking up without having to pay, other than that its a great game we love it.
If you are thinking about getting this game get it its a slow paced game but its reallllly cool no glitches and good storyline so stop think about getting it and GET IT!!!!! But there is a few flaws sometimes we get stuck and dont know where to go and the names are really hard to remember but overall its a really great game we love it and recommend it.
Seems super innocent but comes with an eerie twist. We definitely recommend.
We played this game whin we were 5 Im now 10.
This game gives us the tingles, because its so good. Its a fun story/puzzle game, and also funny. Also why do the dogs look like they are drunk when they are eating.
This game is so good we recommend it to every dog lover out there Im more a cat person ourselves but this game is awsome.
This is probably the best game on the App Store. It has a cool story it has cool puzzles and it is kind of just awesome. We beat all 5 endings and am going to play the next one. Thank you devs for making this game.
This game is probably the best indie mobile game.
This game is the best! We loved all of the turns, the dark parts, and how it can also be super cute! We've played all 3 of these games and they are so GREAT! We loved them so much.
The endings are cool and long and the characters have a lot to offer.
Its a great game but at first is kind of concerned us that this popped up when we typed in Horror but as we played we learned its actually a pretty creepy game dont want anyone who it is has a weak stomach or is scared easily play this game.
Really fun game! We love it! Just wish you could play with your screen sideways.
The game is very fun but we finished it in about a day.
We love this game its so creative and addicting but in. A good way. Butttt we do have some recommendations as in once you find an ending you dont start over completely because eventually it gets kinda annoying hearing the same dialogue over and over and over again and we feel like the second one was a bit more creative so Im just saying otherwise though this is the best game Ive EVER played.
We love this game! We saw on TikTok and wanted to play! Its amazing, its long though. We dont join getting the bugs. Theres different ends to it and we would love to find them out but maybe some other time. But over all great game.
We loved it..we didn't even know it'd be that dark but its great. Stayed up all night to find all 5 endings. Pls download its worth it.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER we LOVE THE CREATORS.
We really enjoyed this little game! Its very well made, has multiple endings, and really just scratched the itch that we had when we downloaded it. It definitely kept us entertained for a few hours and we will be trying the 2nd game for sure! :).
We LOVE the story line its a idle game where you play as a dog and try to get back in your body spoils: we dont like how tomy wins in 1-2 and yes we have completed the entire game all 5 endings its a time spender but super fun we just started playin the 2th one and LOVEING IT and we can see you have made a 3 one we will play that one too and hopefully enjoy we know you will with this game and we have a few suggestions: 1 pls make a 4th game where the main player from the first game and the first dog comes back the rest is your idea 2 make a thing where you can play as all the other dogs once you killed them or trapped them we whorls love to see a chris skin 3 make the 4th game show Chris Thats all and have a good day.
It was a wonderful game! The plot was fascinating, and the characters personalitys were fun to figure out. We personally love games that have cute graphics but are actually really dark, so this was fun for us. We found out there was 2 more and immediately installed them. Its a good quality game and very fun. 10/10 would recommend to someone. Because of the darker aspects, like murder, alcoholism, etc., we would say this should definitely only be played by 12+. Anyway, wonderful game, 5 stars from us.
7-8/10! :D we played this game when we were younger and was looking for it for years, and honestly now that Ive played it again, it lives up to our memory. Its a bit shocking how much we were actually able to remember. As for the game itself, its pretty fun! The story is charming but surprisingly dark, and even though we didnt exactly like the characters, it was still a nice quaint little experience. The puzzles were the best part, but the replayability of this game is when things start to fall flat. The idea of having to catch bugs wasnt that bad the first or second time, but this game has 5 endings. Having to click the fart ability over and over again just to be able to get enough bugs was grueling, and most of the choices that changed what ending you got were at the end of the game. So that means doing the same puzzles over and over again, and soon the game just becomes a tapping simulator. We ended up giving up after getting 3 endings even though we wanted to get them all just because of how much we had to trudge through 90% of it. Overall, we enjoyed this game, and not just because of nostalgia reasons. Sure, this obscure little app has a special place in our heart because younger us somehow found it and played it, but the story and puzzles are just as good as we remember them. We kinda wish the characters were a bit better, but they were cool too! The only thing that really ruined our experience was the gameplay, which Im sure they improved on in the second and third installments. Ill be sure to play the other games.
We love the storyline, but when you are trying to get other endings it gets really annoying to collect bugs, go through the same dialog, go through the same puzzles, etc.. Wish there was a way to save at a certain point However, the entire plot was really nice. We really liked the arc of Julia and the MC.
Okay the game is super good but why did you add the dogs dying.
Overall this games fun it does have some problems not often though but games really nice! :D.
When ever were talking and we skip the talking keep what they are saying so we can read it again.
Its good but theres murder and tomy said a cuss.
So fun but we want a better ending also one part of the game is very hard.
- Similarities this game is- its like the game, Kindergarten some moments of humor, lots of depressing and graphic endings, and similar pixelated style. 2. Summary (we wont spoil much) a game where youve turned into a dog. Pretty normal game so far. In this story-game, you make accomplices, (which are dogs) and youve GOTTA know who to avoid. (hints will be given) it has a lot of tricky puzzles, but most of the story involves with eating dog-food in order to learn what any of the other dogs are saying, and collecting bugs to (earn trust we guess?) in the end, you can get different endings- based on your different encounters with different dogs 3. Facts for the first time you play, without hints or a youtube walkthrough video from 2006, this WILL take a long time. 3 1/2Writing the writing has comedic purposes; along with depressing and horror purposes. 4. Language grammars alright, we guess. We mean, Ive probably got 50 spelling errors in this review right now- Also, not too many curses. No racist words so thats a relief. The only harsh words are just bstrd and sh*t, but most of it wasnt said to anyones face. 5. Violence tons. Lots of cruelty to dogs but there were some funny moments that swipe it away. 6. Humor UNLIKE Kindergarten it is not a dark-comedy game. Its a dark/comedy game. (if that makes sense) 7. Didnt like the only thing we didnt like is that there wasnt a save after you got an ending. It sorta starts you over. (we say sorta because you have same amount of dog food and bugs from the last time.) 8. To sum it up we rate this game 4/5 for Being a tragic, fun-filled, slightly humored, slightly good writing, graphic and scary, pixel game.
Its a great game, and Im jut doing this to get more bugs :p but we recommend this game.
It is fun but we have no idea why red eyes were sticking out the top of the fridge and idk why it was there when we typed horror games.
We enjoyed this game, honestly. It was a fun speculative concept, and we appreciated the dark turn it took. However, we got bored quickly; even with the buttons to help quicken catching bugs and eating, it was just a lot of clicking, and waiting, then clicking again. This was fine, we liked the gameuntil we discovered theres multiple endings. They did think to let language level and bugs carry over, but that doesnt change the fact that we have to find every key and item in order, because you cant find items until you get the clue from other dogs. You cannot make a save file before finding endings. As a last mention, the clues make NO SENSE. To find a key, you have to look under a cushion while the dog is off of it. The clue? A dog saying something similar to we dont want to die next Its generally a fun game that was made unplayable.
GAME CONTENT WARNINGS: -Animal death -Disturbing themes -Frightening senecios -Alcohol NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 At first, we Became a Dog is a silly reward-based puzzle game, but once you progress further into the story its creepy side is revealed. This game is potentially inappropriate for children under thirteen, as it includes some disturbing images and story elements. We really love dogs, so we were really surprised and upset when we found the dead puppy in a flower pot a few hours into gameplay. Until then, it was pretty fun and well-developed.
This is a great game, probably the best mobile story game Ive ever played. Just saying though, this is why we are a cat person.
Ok so before we downloaded this AMAZING game we didnt really know what types of games we were really into and interested in…we downloaded this out of curiosity and it was one of the best decisions in our life. The alternative endings was an amazing part of the game which is one of the reasons why we really like this game!! It was such an amazing game that we showed our little cousin one day and he also got VERY interested in it. We played this game everyday over and over again and it never got tiring. A year later he texted us saying there was an we BECAME A DOG 2?!?! We were beyond excited and rushed to the appstore to download that too. We never regretted downloading any of the games. We very highly recommend trying this game out whenever you have a lot of time to kill.
We liked this game the most because it is more surprising and has more varied endings.
We remember playing this game years ago and so we decided to down load it again. As we played memories came back and we were amazed that there is 2 more of these games!! Definitely am going to try those out.
