About this game
Ruff Night At The Gallery is an adorable short-form horror game where you explore an art gallery. Alone. At night. Sound scary? Don’t worry, the paintings are of cute dogs! But maybe do worry because they’re also haunted…
Collect the keys to make it through each exhibit, but make sure to keep an eye on the artwork: the paintings like to move around. Ghost dogs will also pop off their canvases when you’re not looking to give you a big ol’ lick.
These dogs ain’t your grandpa’s poker playing kitsch - they’re works from the greats, from renaissance classics like “Pup With A Tasty Bone” and Paw Vinci’s “The Doggo Lisa” to modern masterpieces like “American Dogthic”, “The Howl”, Pawcasso’s “Pup Before A Mirror” - this gallery has something for everyone! (except cats)
