Evaluation

TAKE CARE OF THE DOG is a free, short atmospheric game released on July 9, 2026. The developer describes it as a short story experience they made during recovery from arm surgery. The store description presents it as a complete, self-contained game with no post-launch updates or additional content announced for this specific title. However, the store description does note that "a new TAKE CARE OF is being developed based on your feedback" — indicating the developer is working on a follow-up entry in what appears to be a series, though this is a separate project rather than additional content for this game. Since this announcement refers to a sequel or next installment rather than DLC or updates for the current title, this game itself launched as a finished product. The completion date is the release date of July 9, 2026.

■ Recomendations

This is a ‘late-night game’. Try playing it at night, with the lights off and a headset on, when everyone in your house is asleep. It's about atmosphere!

TAKE CARE OF THE DOG is a pretty short game I made while recovering from the surgery I had after I broke my arm
(I lost my movements, but I am slowly getting 'em back!!)


A new TAKE CARE OF is being developed based on your feedback! Thank you so much for the kind words.
