Reporting on the games made in Canada and the creators behind them
Ratalaika Games will be publishing the visual novel ‘A Summer with the Shiba Inu’ from Quill Game Studios, which saw a release on Steam last year.
Read MoreA Summer with the Shiba Inu is a mystery visual novel being developed by Quill Studios that I got to play at Bit Bazaar.
It's a mysterious narrative game that takes place in a world inhabited by dogs. You play as Syd the Shiba Inu as she reunites with her old friend Max and encounters a mysterious Labrador Retriever called Quei-Li.
From the short demo I played, it defies your expectations quite a bit. The game begins with a fairly traditional introduction to the characters and world, reminiscent of other "weird" visual novels such as Hatoful Boyfriend, but then it takes a mysterious turn that sets the story in motion. The demo ends as the mystery begins, and it left me craving more from the story and it's world.
While the writing is the true highlight of the game, it also features very pretty artwork from a variety of talented artists. It's a real treat for the eyes.
I look forward to seeing more of A Summer with the Shiba Inu as it continues development. For now though, a demo is available on the Quill Studios website.
We're a little late on this one, since it happened in April, but either way Quill Studios' game 'A Summer with the Shiba Inu' was successfully greenlight on Steam and looking to be released later this summer on PC, Mac, and Linux.
The upcoming visual novel game is adorable, taking place in the future in a world populated by dogs. You can check out the full symnosis, trailer, and screenshots below. But make sure to check out the Steam page to add it to your wishlist.
