About this game

This is an emotion-focused short narrative game with an average playtime of around 1 hour.

We believe that seeing and understanding our own emotions is a strength in itself. May this inner journey bring you moments of calm and resonance.

Anxiety Puppy is an interactive visual novel that tells the story of a young girl in a bustling city, who, while struggling with the pressures of life and work, unexpectedly embarks on a spiritual journey toward reconciling with her anxiety.

Her life trajectory seems no different from anyone else’s—studying, finding a job, working, with days that repeat endlessly.

However, only she knows that beneath every seemingly calm day, anxiety grows like an uncontrollable black line, suffocating her breath and tightening her nerves.

On one of her usual sleepless nights, her anxiety spirals out of control again, and she is pulled into a strange world. What is it? She doesn’t know, but maybe she can talk to it.

Game Features:

  • Fresh Hand-drawn Style – A beautiful, healing, original illustrated storybook art style.

  • Unique Game Theme – The game focuses on anxiety and aims to raise players’ awareness of this emotion.

  • Warm and Healing Story – The protagonist will undergo self-exploration through dialogue and interaction, ultimately finding reconciliation with herself.

Her story is not a lonely one.

She could be you, or me, or anyone struggling with anxiety.

But in reality, anxiety is not our enemy.

It is more like a well-meaning but awkward friend, and we just haven’t learned how to get along with it yet.

This time, let anxiety transform into a little puppy, guiding you on a healing journey of self-reconciliation.

We hope that the next time you feel anxious, you will no longer criticize your emotions or yourself.

Because anxiety is not a monster; it’s just a little puppy easily unsettled.
