Talk a walkies on the mild side

Frendy has been living a quiet life alongside his beloved dog, Jazz. But one day, he catches sight of a dog in town that looks exactly like Polka, his cherished childhood companion. Unable to ignore the feeling, Friendy follows its trail, setting off on an oddball journey you’ll never forget.

Whimsical adventures await as you lose yourself in Polka’s world, where you must keep your eyes peeled and discover a quirky cast of characters that make the journey even more special.

What you desire might surprisingly be close by.

But sometimes, even if you reach out, you can't grasp it.

Still, you move forward. It's okay to stop and look back sometimes.

I would be very happy if this game could be a work that accompanies someone's steps like that.
